They didn't try to "defeat" it, Bobert. That was just sleight of hand for the masses. Pro rasslin. Don't throw me in the briar patch.

And it's not a free country. We've been taken over by bankers. Insurance companies are essentially banks. Banks own this country. The outright banks got their turn at the trough with Bush's bailout and Obama's stimulus, and now it's the insurance companies' turn.

And the insurance companies don't have the feds in their hair, they're MERGING with the feds. Fascism--government/business merging. The government and the insurance companies will now work together to strongarm Americans into buying "insurance." You've probably seen the mafia movies that revolve around this theme. The people have to buy "protection" so they don't get blown up. That's what the mafioso government is doing with this.

And yes, DougR, suits are going to be filed, but I expect the corrupt supreme court will find in favor of the feds. That's why state sovereignty resolutions are so important. I guess this week or next I'll start contacting my state rep and state senator about this. The states have the final say over this kind of garbage. Within a year I expect upwards of 10 states will nullify this unconstitutional action within their borders. Hope so, at least.
