Reform Talking Points

Severability and Obamacare | RedState

What this article misses is that there WAS a severability clause in the original House version.

This gives ammo to good lawyers who can argue that Congress intentionally omitted it from the final legislation, meaning that Congress intended for the entire legislation to fall if the mandate (or any other provision) were deemed unconstitutional.

This author has no special insight into how the Court will actually handle the issue. And it is worth noting that the Florida AG has specifically argued (to the Fed FL Dist Ct) that the entire law should be invalidated.

Healthagent: I like your approach, but you forgot to add the mandatory processing charge of $100!

Hey, just thought of a great auto responder:

"Jim Smith,

As we have not received your application for health insurance you are in violation of IRS code 19-305 per the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Therefore your checking account will be debited in the amount of $95.00 within seven business days.

If you have any questions I can be reached at 410 ***"

Nice!!!! I like it.

Or is that our new role in all of this? Are we going to be the Healthcare Gestapo?

"Ma'am, I know you can't afford the policy, but I see you're without coverage otherwise. I'm going to need to collect the $95 fine from you if you don't get the policy."

I like that - when will the training videos be ready to view?

I think the Gov't should allow agents to double as whistleblowers. Every time we run into someone without coverage who refuses to buy from us, we can give them a canned schpill from a 2x4 card:

I am obligated under the law to report you to the Internal Revenue Service for failure to comply with Public Law 2010-5110. As a courtesy to you, I will ask you one last time before I leave: Do you want to buy this policy, or do you prefer to pay a fine and face possible jail time?

ha ha ha! man what a closer line

Go for it! Then life agents would be invited to Thanksgiving again.
