I Stand With Jase Bolger; Michiganders, Rise Up!

On this point, the Governor must not bend to special interests and do what is right for the sovereign individuals in this State. , to stop him from implementing a Healthcare Exchange.

The Governor says that if we don’t act by the end of the year, the Federal Government will impose an exchange upon us.  However, if he agrees to expand Medicaid, it will drown us financially in the years to come.

is the right way to look at this, as all or most of the rest of the Republican Governors are holding a tough line to save taxpayers money at the Federal AND State level:

Here’s another complicating factor: Most states have not yet set up an exchange. Many, especially ones with Republican governors or legislatures, may refuse altogether. By most estimates, as few as 15 states are likely to have exchanges in operation by the 2014 deadline.

ObamaCare gives the feds the authority to step in, setting up and operating an exchange in any state that doesn’t set up its own — but there is reason to doubt that they have resources to do so in so many states.

Anyway, federal subsidies are available only through exchanges that the states set up. The feds can’t offer subsidies through a federally run exchange.

Thus, if states neither expanded Medicaid nor set up exchanges, that would effectively block most of ObamaCare’s new entitlement spending.

Block it!  Stop it!  Look, the union bosses that are going to turncoat the union members anyhow, they will drop their push for companies to give health insurance as a benefit, and pocket the money.  How do I know?

The UAW has always been for socialized medicine.  Walter Reuther pushed heavily in the 60’s, just as this current clan is now.  Do you think that union members will be allowed to keep their nice benefits?  No way in hell.

Union members will not be exempt from the new taxation that will be a part of our Federal and State obligation from here on out.

The ONLY way we can stop our taxes from dramatically rising under this monstrous law is to stand up against the Federal government and REFUSE to be subjected to this mess.

NO TO THE EXPANSION OF MEDICAID.  NO TO THE EXCHANGE.  STARVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  HELP ELECT PEOPLE WHO PROMISE TO REPEAL THIS LAW.

Jase Bolger must hold firm against the implementation of Healthcare Exchanges in the State of Michigan, or all is lost.

Disgusted By How I Am Being Treated

talks about how the Supreme Court decision now leaves a conundrum for the State governments.  Now that the Supreme Court has said that the Federal Government does not have the power to force States to expand Medicaid, it is up to the State governments to decide if they want to expand the program and face a substantial increase in their expenditures for years to come, or, put in exchanges funded 100% by the Federal Government.

All the while, Jen Taxpayer is thinking, “My taxes are going to go up, and nobody will speak for me.”

I’m screwed both ways here.  It’s not a matter of whether my State will save money by doing one thing or the other.  Both my State taxes AND my Federal taxes are going to go up.  Substantially.

I am a State taxpayer, and a Federal taxpayer.  We aren’t talking about different people, just one person footing two bills.

And then, in 3 1/2 years, I have to prove I have health insurance, and if experience has shown me anything at all, it will be about the same time the employer will dump my insurance.

So then I have to go buy insurance, to top it all off.

This is a purely practical reality, not a partisan complaint.  There is no way out, this is my future.  All I have now is to try to minimize my financial stake.  In my fervor to do so, I noticed the author points this out:

Thus, if states neither expanded Medicaid nor set up exchanges, that would effectively block most of ObamaCare’s new entitlement spending.

I want that one, I pick that, write me down, I’m for it, where can I sign up, I’ll lead the march and print the petitions.

At the same time, if you don’t buy insurance, and you don’t really have to pay the fine, :

The law, however, severely limits the ability of the IRS to collect the penalties. There are no civil or criminal penalties for refusing to pay it and the IRS cannot seize bank accounts or dock wages to collect it. No interest accumulates for unpaid penalties.

So how can the IRS enforce the mandate? Scary letters and threats to withhold tax refunds.

Ha!   What tax refunds?  After digging in my purse for loose change, and checking my dryer, the feds and the State won’t find any more money to take, there won’t be any stinking tax refunds.

If this nation’s governments were sane, they would automatically know what I must be thinking on this.  But, instead of picking the door that says, “Less Government Intrusion,” they continuously demand more complicated methods to steal my children’s food.
