One other thing... since we're on the subject of 'not getting things right'... here are some facts about your litigation comment from the
Constitutional Accountability Center:
...the Act actually preserves the vibrant federal-state partnership that is the hallmark of our federalist system and falls well within Congress's constitutional powers.
To help set the record straight, CAC has prepared an issue brief entitled "The States, Health Care Reform, and the Constitution." This issue brief demonstrates that Congress clearly had the authority to pass health care reform--including the individual mandate--and that
the legal challenges to the Act filed by a handful of State Attorneys General are more political theater than genuine constitutional argument. The issue brief also explains why state efforts to block implementation of the Act outright--known as state "nullification" of federal law--are an attack on the Constitution and purely symbolic at best. Finally, the issue brief highlights aspects of the Act that preserve the role of the States as "laboratories of democracy," allowing the States considerable flexibility to shape insurance exchanges or even opt out of the Act--including opting out of the individual mandate--so long as they create an alternative system that meets certain coverage and cost containment requirements.
