Time for the States to stand up against the Imperial Federal Government and its goons.

[muawiyah]

it's actually time to start taking your own personal medical problems to your Democrat Senators and Democrat Representatives.

Seriously folks, it doesn't take much more correspondence to utterly collapse their correspondence and constituent service units.

The Republican House controls the budget, and the funding for such matters are in their purview so a serious public uprising using 'soft weapons' would be quite effective ~ just don't bother the Republicans with this attack.

While true, these actions require cooperation and backbone by the state govts in the face of what will be enormous federal and media pushback. However another road is open and we see cutbacks in workers and/or full time employees are starting to occur and could cascade into the marketplace.If there is no employer insurance and there are limited state exchanges then all will be dumped on the Feds causing chaos. The Obama people actually hoped the private sector would just go along and there’d be no need for govt exchanges because they know how difficult they will be to manage. Think healthcare provided by the same people who gave Long Islanders LIPA. But all this will take courage, patience, forebearance, and willingness to cooperate across states and the marketplace. I don’t know any one or group that could organize this.

The article states 38% of the population opposes the bill..then how the hell did Obama get reelected? Something is not adding up here.

[Eye of Unk]

If we are willing to die to save and protect our country then who needs Obamacare?

Why bother wasting you meager wages on a healthcare plan if we are TRULY dedicated to laying down our lives for our future.

[lilypad]

I meant supports the bill not opposes. Sorry,

[Kaslin]

Very well said

Voter fraud?

[Gorilla44]

Just one year ago, Ohioans voted overwhelmingly (66%)for a state constitutional amendment rejecting the federal mandate. All 88 counties voted for the amendment, including Cuyahoga (Cleveland) 58 to 42. Amazing.

Nice Kaslin, very nice! I thought that FR was a place to exchange ideas! John Boehner is a disgrace! At least that’s how I see it. You are entitled to your opinion, but why not let us in on what you think rather than use one word invectives against ideas with which you disagree.

[Vaduz]

Higher taxes, fewer jobs, and less protection and he gets reelected,I didn’t know this country had that many idiots in it.
At some point they will find that even the gov tit dries up.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Obamacare was created by a bunch of morons so who is suprised to find out that it won’t work? It was always unworkable. It will collapse under its own weight as half the states can’t afford to implement it and others just don’t want to. In time it will take care of itself.

Ask yourself how many millions of americans will just not bother to sign up for Obamacare. There’s not much they can really do to you. Twenty something’s could care less about a fine. They won’t pay it. Who in their right mind is going to give the IRS access to draft money out of their bank account? I would never do that in a million years.

[Alberta's Child]

Whenever I read about Obamacare and all of these idiotic complexities, I can't help but think about the wisdom of former Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. After he had his citizenship stripped and he was exiled to the U.S. in the early 1970s, he gave an interview in which he described the ambivalence he felt about that turn of events. I'm going to paraphrase a remarkable comment he made as best I remember it (the emphasis is mine):

"Losing my citizenship in a nation that has no moral right to exist does not bother me. The Soviet Union didn't even exist 100 years ago, and it may even cease to exist before I die."

[DelphiUser]

There is an aspect of this people seem to be overlooking. Obamacare is not about “health” and it’s not about “care” it’s about control. The taxes, IRS access to all bank accounts, all the other pieces that when put together, mean no freedom. Do you honestly think they “care” if you get help? Stopping the “care” portion does not stop the regulation and that is why they wanted the bill in the first place, and why they pulled out all the stops to re-elect the man who passed it. Which is why they support and cover up for him, so the regulations would not be repealed.

Sorry, been a bit depressed since the presstitutes got their guy...

I don't think that is a CHOICE!

IRS already takes people's money without recourse and most times, without notice!

[VRWCRick]

Agreed!! I say use every weakness found in this disastrous legislation to undermine and destroy it. Let’s turn Alinsky’s rules against them this time!!
