Obamacare Can't Be Fixed | Michael F. Cannon | Cato Institute: Commentary: "to turn the United States into a European-style social democracy, the Left 'need only play good defense. The federal spending commitments now in place will bring about the leviathan state they have always sought."

"opponents may never have more power to chart Obamacare's course than they do right now. In particular, the decisions that federal and state officials make today could determine whether the 2012 elections produce a Congress and president who are willing to repeal the law."

"Obamacare opponents in most state capitols are laying the bureaucratic foundations for the law's new entitlement spending and lending it legitimacy by accepting its debt financed federal grants"

"In sum, states can impose harsher regulations than Obamacare requires and can choose who sits on their exchange's board. That's it."
