No. Legislative branch controls spending. IF and it’s a big IF, when the Dummies are run out of Congress, hopefully, the new members will cut any funding for this monstrosity.
Will take guts but cut off the food supply and it will die quickly.

Unfortunately, some marxist community organizer group would be in court in a nanosecond, and the courts would decree that the law be followed.

If it passes, the only way we get this eliminated before 2013 is through the Supreme Court. Things are iffy there, it may not be unconstitutional if it is a tax. If it is a bill that forces people to buy insurance, yes, it probably is unconstitutional, but I am not sure how they structured this thing.

The Supreme Court in the 30s wanted to strike down FDR's social security, but when they looked at it, it was just a tax, and it was legal under the 16th Amendment. It was sold to the country as a retirement plan that required everyone to participate, but when the Admin argued it in the Supreme Court, they admitted what it was. It was a tax that went to the general fund. That's why the Dems are able to spend all that money that supposedly is for SS. It's not a trust fund.

Same thing might happen with health care.

And yet we still fund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

I wish I shared your optimism.
