Buddy, always love your threads. And I don't mean to be the pee in the oatmeal, but. . . . what if Obama PLANNED on having the version of his healthcare nighmare fail?
What if he has something far worse waiting in the wings?

Oh I agree that it will be thrown out. No doubt about that.
But little things, like his latest Executive Order about utilizing everything in peacetime and in war, concern me.
Just because we've won a battle does not insure that we've won the war.

You're right...they actually CAN'T force you to buy insurance...you will however pay a tax for not doing so.

They can't legally fine you for not participating in something that you are free not to.

I have a feeling that the Supreme court is going to keep Obamacare in place. After all, Obamacare is actually a Republican plan....through and through....originally proposed by Nixon....and implemented by Mr. Romney.

The difference between Romneycare and Obamacare (to use the common terms) is that Romneycare was conducted at a state level with the majority of those in the state wanting it. Ironically, it went broke. A similar experiment occured in Hawaii. It too went broke.
ObamaCare has the mandate that insurance companies "provide" coverage for people with pre existing conditions. Fine, maybe that's one thing good. But.
If the government was so concerned, why didn't they simply come up with some kind of Social Security disability plan ? Or allow exceptions for Medicaid ? Or, just put certain cases on Medicare ?

Limits on malpractice lawsuits come to mind. Limits on malpractice insurance also comes to mind. Hospitals charge so much because they have to PAY so much. Privatize as much as you can, competiion lowers price. Get rid of the non-interstate clause that doesn't allow health insurance to cross state borders.
