The beginning of the article at FoxNews.com reads:
President Obama’s re-election has effectively ended the waiting game about whether his law that overhauls the U.S. health care system would really take effect, sending states into a scramble that includes deciding by Friday whether to establish their own programs for residents and businesses to buy the insurance.
The decision is just one of several that states, businesses and individuals must make before roughly 30 million Americans start applying for insurance just 11 months from now -- through programs known as exchanges.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sent a letter to governors Friday that extends some deadlines – including those for exchange partnerships and grants to establish exchanges. However, the letter made clear that the cutoff for governors to decide on state-run exchanges was still Friday and that insurance purchases would begin Jan. 1, 2014 “with no delays.” Open enrollment begins two months earlier.
An agency spokeswoman told FoxNews.com Tuesday this week’s deadline needed to be enforced so federal officials can see whether states are on the right track.
Notice the language. The Affordable Care Act requires everyone to have insurance, whether they like it or not. The promise that everyone will be insured started with a mandate that you get insurance, or else pay a fine. Buy it, or be punished.

The law also requires the States to establish "exchanges." If any of the States refuse, the federal government will set them up for them. In other words, the States have no choice. Do it, or it will be forced upon them by the federal government.
The lead Gestapo agent behind all of this, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, a woman given incredible power in relation to the health care law, sent a letter to the governors of the States making it clear that they will decide to create the state-run exchanges - "with no delays" when their deadlines approach.
Does the requirements of the health care law sound like something the Founding Fathers would approve of? Do they sound like anything that protects State sovereignty, or our individual choices as free citizens?
The idea behind Obamacare is to destroy private sector insurance, to kill the industry, and force us into a "Single-Payer" system controlled by the government. Your choice will be gone. No alternative insurance will be available. It is the government's way, or else. Does that sound like liberty?
Stopping the madness, now that Obama has won reelection, has gotten much more difficult. Repeal is now off the table. I spoke with Congressman Ken Calvert, and he told me the plan will be to defund it, but we know how the democrats work their propaganda to stop such things, and we know that the GOP is infested with weak establishment types, and progressives. Therefore, the way to stop Obamacare resides in our own hands. We The People must defy this totalitarian takeover, but not only by rejecting the health care law, but what it creates. . . a complete governmental takeover of our way of life. If the federal government becomes the provider of health care, they can decide what they will cover, and what they won't (which would eventually lead to those death panels Palin was referring to). If the federal government becomes the provider of health care, they can tell you what you can eat, what you can't eat, what activities you can engage in, what exercise regiments you must engage in, and so forth. We must convince our State leaders to nullify the law by refusing to implement it, and we must flood Washington with our communications showing our dissatisfaction.
And we do have one other possibility - an Article V. Convention, which allows the States to hold a convention, propose amendments, and ratify them, without federal interference. 49 of the 50 States have applied to hold the convention, but the Congress refuses to call the convention; the only federal involvement in an Article V. Convention.
Perhaps the States will wise up and call the convention themselves.
Let's make some noise.
