I’m Catholic. It won’t be the first time we’ve been arrested for practicing our faith.
“I won’t comply either.”
Neither will I, and here’s another way to describe that noncomplance.
Remember when Nazi Pelosi said, “Hey, quit your job, start a band, be an artist, live, love and be happy—free health care!”? (In her inimitable ditzy manner.)

It’s our answer to Cloward-Piven. They aren’t expecting those of us who are producers to put down our tools and keyboards and climb on board the `gravy train’ with their people. Call it `going mini-Galt’ or whatever.
The sun eventually goes down in the west, regardless of quantitative easing (or whatever they want to call patching a muffler with duct tape) and the cows make their way home and the chickens eventually roost.
This just speeds up the process. Zero will blame blame Bush but the whole house of cards of collapses, and it doesn’t take long. The left becomes irrelevant since “a hungry stomach knows no politics.”
Those of us who remember how to work, well, we start over and we don’t make the same mistakes again so that we don’t wind up with another “Great Society.” You don’t work, you don’t eat. Period.
Oh, I’ve actually gone Galt. I work enough to meet my needs.
Politically speaking it would never be repealed. What they would do is modify it and gut it of as many obamacare key provisions as possible based on votes available. They would leave pieces like pre-existing conditions, allow insurance companies to cross state lines. While the pre-existing conditions portion is costly you will never get rid of it now. Too late. Unfortunately that’s where we are - in the best case model.

Same here.
I used to drive by a basketball court on my way in to work and see guys about my age playing round-ball, going and coming, others with fishing poles.
And I would think, “That’s OK, I’ve got health insurance.”
Now I’m self-employed, like you working enough to pay bills, and I’ll see the same thing and they will have `health insurance.’
Well, they can find someone else to pay for it. To hell with “social justice” and “re-distribution.”
Many of us will not comply
*****”Let them throw me in jail for non-compliance. I’m old,I’ll cash out my retirement and give it to my kids and go to jail where I’ll get three squares, free room and medical, TV and clothing. Yeah! Throw me into the briarpatch there Br’er Fox.”******
It is my Retirement Plan

“Those who stayed home are stupid, plain and simple.”
How does calling people stupid win them over to our side? That’s stupid.
“How does calling people stupid win them over to our side? That’s stupid.”
And what do you seek to win? How do you define a win? Bend to the will of the uneducated masses as Jindal and Rubio wish for us to do?
Or are you saying that those that stayed home because Romney wasn’t pure enough aren’t really stupid, and that Obama is no worse than Romney? Do you really want to engage in that debate?
Are you saying that if the proper conservative is offered up, then these people will be motivated? And you’d like me to refrain from accurately describing those who would make the perfect the enemy of the good?
No sale.
I am going to invest my money in American business and take the risk of a bad economy before I will "invest" in our Marxist government.
Practically its not all that much different than giving you a ‘tax credit’ for doing something and then raising every-ones taxes by a similar amount so only those who don't do it pay the higher taxes.
Here in lib Maryland a neighbor gets a forced subsidy from the power company (~ 2K per year) mandated by state law for using solar panels, and the company just raises our rates to pay for it. Practically we are being fined there but they dont call it that, its hidden.
They also gave him ‘tax credits’ in the first place for buying the panels while they raised a number of our taxes at the same time. So he buys the panels and we pay (him) for our not buying them.
The Obama-care mandate fine/tax is similar to those examples practically except Obama wanted to claim its a fine and not a tax to avoid more resistance to it.
My point is we are already serfs, it's just the other cases are better hidden.
BTW : The R candidate Romney was the first to implement that 'unAmerican' idea.
I agree. Have you ever tried to make a twenty something do anything? Can’t be done. Millions of these kids just will do the passive agressive thing and not sign up. Sadly that is what Obama and his merry band of criminals (the Democrat legislature) are banking on. They don’t really want everyone covered by insurance. What they really want is the penalty/tax. They are praying millions don’t sign up because then they can collect revenues without having to pay out new expenditures for treatment.
As Carville would say “its a tax stupid”

Would have to hire a lot of security personnell to keep the drug cartel away.
Until they change the rules the IRS supposedly can’t go after you for not paying the insurance tax the way they can FIT. So I plan on just paying FIT and making sure I’m not due any return that they can deduct the insurance tax from.
Close but not exactly. It's worse than that.
NYS imposed a ban on pre-existing conditions without the mandate and so young people just didnt sign up until they were sick. That in effect raised the price and encouraged more to do the same raising the price even more. It was a disaster but these are the same fools who think price controls in an emergency help them.
So at the national level the private companies get bankrupted because the fine is so small and so people wait till they are sick to buy insurance, or the rising price drives more ininsured,
And that will be used to get voters to demand FURTHER expansion of Obama-care-medicaid to even higher incomes, for compassion and fairness. Its called ‘single payer’ what the libs wanted to begin with.
Yes the final Progressive objective is to get rid of private health insurance.
