#2 Gov. sanford tried something like that in SC and got shot down by the courts.

And no doubt Congress will sneek in some poison-pill language that will deny Medicare reimbursements in the state if they don't play nice with Team Barry.

#3 He said Congress has broad powers to regulate interstate commerce, which would include something as big as health care.

This is going to be a huge battle. Every State has its own, unique, statutes regarding Health Insurance. And demographics based on geography are the key to proportionate premiums. A One size fits all option will defiantly result in a winners and losers scenario. Surprise...surprise...the NE region will be on the winners side.

People will be surprised how much local interests can trump party affiliation when its an issue of power, particularly under the long yoke of unfunded Federal mandates which have effectively stolen state budgets. All of the sudden those lower on the hierarchical chart are equal or great in power than those in the Beltway.
