This petitions thing is kind of a nifty tool. Here's a good one: A petition to allow any American to voluntarily opt out of Obamacare.
Actually, that alone would solve almost all the problems with the legislation. Just give permanent waivers to absolutely everyone who wants one. I think we'd still have to sort out the freedom of conscience issue -- which is a major issue -- but most of the rest would be settled.
It would simultaneously solve the country's problems with the Act and destroy the whole purpose of the Act.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you hand out waivers indiscriminately, how can you dole them out to supporters in order to consolidate influence?
