LA Gov. Bobby Jindal refuses to implement Obamacare despite Supreme Court ruling

[Fred_Garvin]

This is a strong bold move in defiance of the Supreme Court affirming President Obama's 'Affordable Care Act'. It is also a slap in the face to Obama but I fear if Jindal does this Obama will withhold all federal funding to the state of Louisiana.

Quote:
The Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama's health care law on Thursday, but Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a possible Republican vice presidential contender who has refused to establish a federally mandated health care exchange in his state, said Friday that he will continue to ignore it.

"We're not going to start implementing Obamacare," Jindal said during a conference call with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. "We're committed to working to elect Gov. Romney to repeal Obamacare."

Under the Affordable Care Act, states must set up a health insurance exchange program by Jan. 1, 2014, and will receive grants from the federal government to implement it. Several Republican governors, including both Jindal and McDonnell, have put off setting up the exchanges in the hope that the law would be repealed or struck down by the court. Now that the law has been upheld, Jindal said he won't change course and is looking to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to lead the repeal effort if he takes office in 2013.

No different than Obama deciding not to enforce the laws he does not like.

He can at least wait until the election, then he will know if he will be forced to comply.

States don't have to set up an exchange, though they're certainly encouraged to design and build their own exchange to best meet the particular needs of their population and their market.

But if a state government prefers not to run its own exchange, the law provides that the federal government will set up a federal exchange for them.

Certainly as american as naan.

Yes and he'll be one complaining about federal government meddling in the affairs of Louisiana.

Americans are evenly divided, 46 percent to 46 percent, on whether they support the Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Barack Obama's health care reform on Thursday, according to a new Gallup poll. Nearly 80 percent of Democrats agree with the court, compared to 45 percent of independents and only 13 percent of Republicans. Americans evenly divided on court

 

[Vanquish]

So conservatives can attack Obama for not enforcing federal immigration law, but ignoring the ACA federal law is justified? Two wrongs don't make a right.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Not all conservatives and certainly not all Republicans.

High Court Ruling Will Provoke States to Nullify ObamaCare

1. Despite Thursday’s controversial Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare, states retain the right and authority to nullify the healthcare law,


2. Bobby Jindal has already declared that he will not establish a healthcare exchange in his state.
"We're not going to start implementing Obamacare," Jindal said during a conference call with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. "We're committed to working to elect Governor Romney to repeal Obamacare."


3. “Several Republican governors, including both Jindal and McDonnell, have put off setting up the exchanges in the hope that the law will be repealed or struck down by the Court.”


4. Chief Justice Roberts wrote:
The Federal Government does not have the power to order people to buy health insurance. Section 5000A would therefore be unconstitutional if read as a command. The Federal Government does have the power to impose a tax on those without health insurance. Section 5000A is therefore constitutional, because it can reasonably be read as a tax.

Since Chief Justice John Roberts called the individual mandate that is so integral to the healthcare law a “tax,” Republicans are now afforded the option of using a procedure known as “budget reconciliation” to formulate a repeal bill that requires just a simple majority to pass.

5. States may also fall in line with Louisiana and Missouri and nullify ObamaCare. In the 1798 Kentucky Resolutions, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers … a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.”

The Tenth Amendment Center indicates that the states have a number of methods by which they may nullify a law, including through state law, a statement amendment, or a voters' referendum


6. State nullification proved successful in defeating the Real ID legislation passed under George W. Bush. Led by Maine in 2007, half the states in the country passed resolutions and laws refusing to implement Real IDs, citing funding and privacy concerns.

He's smart. Why spend tax payer money on something that will be repealed shortly after Obama loses the election?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Sigh. States will do nothing of the sort.

Very wrong, Zander. Revised and reformed, but not repealed. Romney would not dare use reconciliation to repeal legislation, and the Senate Dems will not permit provide they have 40 votes, which they will have at the very least, if not the majority.

You are a disengenuous moron. It is only a slap in the face of Louisians.

I think Roberts voted as he did on purpose, because he knew that it would energizes the republicans and ensure an obama lose in November, and then the entire bill would be repealed anyway.

So the fuck what? If Louisiana wants to be independent and not follow the federal guidelines why should they receive any federal money? Is the state of Louisiana a "giver" or a "taker" from the Federal government when it comes to tax revenues and monies received from the federal government?
Well by golly gee!!!!!!!
Louisiana gets more in federal aid than it gives in taxes

SHUT THE FUCK UP JINDAL YOU HYPOCRITE! If you get money from the government or want money from the federal government, either you do as they say or get NO MONEY. "Get government out of the way" and take care of yourselves.

Nullification.

That joke never gets old.

Yeah while his state is sucking off of the Federal teet at the same time.

Do you truly think it can be repealed so easily? What would it take to repeal it?

"Loss" The english language.. learn it...love it.

The only thing "sure" is if the GOP wastes the next four months trying to kill a bill that was passed and co-signed by the Supreme court they will pay dearly for this waste of the taxpayers money in November.

You teabaggers are really the dumbest motherfuckers to ever come upon the American political scene.
