Simply grant every American an indefinite, universal waiver.

Just make sure the waiver also includes the Obamacare taxation component. I can absolutely imagine them waiving mandatory participation while still I,posing the tax/fine.

Push comes to shove, an EO by a conservative president could defund and sweep it away as well.

No. The same Democrats who say it’s legal for Zer0 to unilaterally alter 0bamaCare would say the opposite for a Republican president, and the GSM would throw their old positions down the memory hole. Welcome to Ingsoc.

That's about the only way a Republican president could stop it. Democrats in the Senate will filibuster any attempts to legislate it away.
