Read your casefile before you plea your case. Oh and have your Missus Queenbee change her alias, to Missus Bo-fred. - Doctor Ciano Thu, 03 Mar 2011 08:28:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15391 BTW, the sexist comment about getting a cookbook does not do you any justice. Surely you have the intellect to be able to express yourself better. - BoFred Thu, 03 Mar 2011 05:25:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15390 I'm sure La will opt out, but I just got a notice my Blue Cross is going up a whopping $400 a yr, to $1200/mo for my family, and that is with a whopping deductible. No Rx card. I have to try to figure out a way to do this. I need to stay healthy for a few more years, till my kids are grown. I need to have them insured. I'd love the opportunity to try a federal insurance. I WOULD WELCOME THE COMPETITION in Louisiana, to see if some companies would lowere their risk. Since I haven't made a claim in years, I guess I have to pay more for the insurance industry to pay to make sure this federal health program doesn't take place. - BoFred Thu, 03 Mar 2011 05:22:57 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15369 Docpaul, fair analysis. It will be interesting to see what the corporate-friendly, federalist Supreme Court will say about this. "Obamacare" was favored by the insurance industry which lobbied for it (after all, the mandate would give them billions of dollars in windfall). So we have a bunch of SC justices who would like to stick it to Obama for the Republican pals, but these same justices are friends of the corporatocracy and lean heavily toward federal power over states' rights. - Resident Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:32:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15344 Hardhat: I'm not quite sure why my response gave you such a h--d-on." Punked in the younger generation's vernacular means when someone lays down and doesn't fight anymore; to be weakened; non-responsive, "soft".....uh, what did you think it meant? - queenbee Wed, 02 Mar 2011 09:36:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15330 Consider the the widely unpopular individual mandate (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/individual-mandate-in-health-care-reform-law-still-widely-unpopular-poll-117146333.html) and whether it is considered a penalty or a tax. DOJ argues that it is a tax and therefore is constitutional through the use of commerce clause. However, it appears that the six judges that have weighed in on this as of March 1 (3 for and 3 against) have stated in their opinions that they all agree that it is NOT a tax (http://www.redcounty.com/content/legal-fate-obamacare-may-boil-down-tax-issue). Most believe this will have a bearing if this gets to the Supreme Court and the individual mandate will be struck down as unconsitutional and thereby since there is not serverability from this and the entire law, Obamacare will be deemed nullified. - Docpaul Wed, 02 Mar 2011 04:30:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15324 Queenbee, your president was born punked and i'm sure you have no "idea, what the word "PUNKED explains. Do mankind a "GREAT FAVOR". Go buy you a betty crocker baking receipe book. - HARDHAT Tue, 01 Mar 2011 21:15:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15316 I am disappointed at how Obama has allowed the Republican party to "punk" him. Can you please get a backbone, sir? - queenbee Tue, 01 Mar 2011 14:16:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15307 Sounds like move to undermine the lawsuit. Nonetheless, I doubt it changes much. - James Melancon Tue, 01 Mar 2011 13:04:03 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7882-obama-allows-states-to-opt-out-of-health-care-reform#comment-15305 Actually, there is some debate about whether he could stop the states due to a process called Nullification...... - Gerald Bertholl Tue, 01 Mar 2011 13:02:54 +0100
