That's just nutty.
Silly Republicans.
I can't believe the harm that some of those in power are willing to cause just to fight against "the other side." Both sides do it way too often, but this time around the Republicans have gone off the deep end.

Congress will not fix any glitch in the ACA, as the Republicans will block any effort to. Normally, with any major legislation, there are glitches, but they are often repaired through legislation. Because of the steadfast opposition of Republicans, however, no repair of glitches in the ACA will be forthcoming.
If the ACA goes down because of this, then it will likely be at least another 10 years before we get universal health care in this country. By that time, with states like Texas going blue, it should become somewhat more feasible, with less backlash.
Well if they go by that reasoning, the individual mandate would still stand, but those in states that refused to set up state run exchanges would not receive subsidies. Gotta love the way politicians have no trouble harming millions to make a point.
Yeah.... another bit to consider. Those governors who refuse to take federal money to expand Medicaid and set up exchanges are simply giving their own citizens tax money to other states.
That's just nutty.
Silly Republicans.
The "free government money" stops after like 2 years and Medicaid is already bankrupting states. Adding hundreds of thousands to the Medicaid rolls isn't going to make it solvent. The Supreme Court threw out the medicaid expansion precisely because it was an unfunded mandate.

It would only be 100% federally funded for 2 years. After that, they would only cover 90%. The Supreme Court threw it out as a state's rights issue.
Exactly.
The states that are refusing to participate are being led by spiteful fools.

spiteful fools who were voted in by people perfectly willing to cut off their collective noses to spite their faces, in the manner of spiteful fools themselves.

one of their bibles is "the virtue of selfishness" written by that harridan.
One of the few circumstances I would encourage book burning.
