buggyone see my post #30. apparently your quote did not highlight and i don't know why but i addressed yours above.

I love statements of defense of Obama care referring to it as the "law of the land".

What should we consider the immigration laws of this land?

Or can we legitimately view the words "law of the land" should be accompanied by a footnote stating ....as long as we choose to enforce it or as is the case to often...not enforce it.

Current politics and politicians have demonstrated the law of the land and the law doesn't really matter. They are nothing more than legal terms.

This country is becoming so permissive non enforcement is a daily practice and expectation.

The continuous watering down and weakening of the American fabric. Disgusting.

btk

ACA is law of the land.

Roe v Wade is law of the land.

The fact you consider it disgusting means nothing.

And this would include all the GOP governors who say they will not set up the medical exchanges in their states, allowing the federal government to do it for them. They also will not expand medicaid, which they are allowed to do under the Supreme Court ruling, making sure that hospitals and doctors must continue treating the poor for free and passing the costs on to everybody else, while turning down tens of billions of dollars in federal money which will then go to other states.

Why would any state pay for something that they did not ask for, did not want, and cannot afford ?

You make it sound like these people are unfeeling.....that is POLITICS you are playing. This was not asked for and actually not even liked by half the people in the country and now they are telling the states to raise their taxes or whatever they have to do to pay for this stuff.

This is a very bad move for any state looking to attract jobs.

Instead of doing the correct thing ie reworking medicaid which doctors hate and are running from, they institute this thing.
