Obamacare The state opt-out mirage

... I haven't seen this section of the bill, but one thing is certain: It will be easier to get Michael Moore through the eye of a needle that for states to opt out of Obamacare.

There will be countless additional funding measures attached so as to ensure that if states opt out, they'll go even more broke than they already are.

Technically states can opt out of federal education guidelines and run their own public schools any way they see fit -- as long as they don't mind losing millions in federal funding that states have come to depend on.

Technically states can opt out of the federal drinking age and set their own legal age for the consumption of alcoholic beverages -- as long as they don't mind losing millions in federal highway funding.

Hospitals also receive plenty of federal money. Guess what's going to disappear if your state "opts out" of Obamacare? ...
