If some few red states want to opt out, that'll be the utter end of the

Yep. Good Dem play.
If they really have the balls to get it.
Ain't done yet.
What's important to a lot of people is job mobility.
Me for instance.
Since we can't ensure that either one of us can get a job that offers
a health care policy, the wife stays where she is.
Might convince her to move to Florida with a new insurance regime.
Though I must say there are other reasons for staying put, including
family, seasons, and plain old inertia.
She says a number of people at her work - the ones that don't use the
ER for health care - are there only for the health policy.
Job market and wages might undergo quite a bit of change.
Could invigorate the economy.
But then maybe Florida will opt out.
Their choice, given state rights and all.
hehe.

I don't believe Florida would opt out but you might see a lot of the
relatively healthy center of the country where they have a low
uninsured rate anyway.
Unfortunately that pool of healthy people will not be there to balance
the coasts in the public company.

It's a red herring. Who is going to "opt out" and still end up paying
half their income for the part of the country that doesn't pay any taxes
at all? Right...

Well, if you got a job, you could be paying taxes.

Dickbrain doesn't understand that it'd be the Red States opting out,
who statistically return the least amount of federal tax/capita.

It'd certainly be more equitable on a state-by-state basis if they did
opt out.
