Sounds to me like a way for the president to blackmail our States.
The right thing to do would be to scrap this monstrosity, but no....everyone wants to “compromise.”
BTW, Scott Brown was a bad idea. Hope he is a one-term senator.
Hey Obammy- Wasn’t this thing declared unconstitutional?
Get rid of the bill now. If the Republicans wimp out; they will go home.
Several Lefty states (most notably Vermont) are itching to implement single payer. Obama is apparently willing to gamble that this will prove what a wonderful idea it is (everyone will be covered, healthcare costs will go down, businesses will start moving to Vermont and hiring because they’ll be free of employee healthcare costs, etc.)
Personally I think it would be a huge failure and would immunize the American public from wanting to mess with healthcare again for at least a generation.
This in a nutshell is Obama’s strategy for the next two years.
It also is something that may require Mitt to come up with another rationale for Romneycare.
Classical trickery presupposing the “made up fact”.
Sir , can you tell me when you stopped beating your wife?
Obama may exempt some states from certain requirements of Obamacare, but he’s not going to exempt them from the taxes associated with it. His exemptions are probably going to force ‘equal protection’ lawsuits at some point as well. This whole thing is going to be one big clusterfark that will take many years to undo.
