No, they didn't vote to "opt out of Obamacare". They did vote to repeal an actual union-busting law.

Arizonians recalled and kicked out of office the Republican Senate president who hates immigrants and passed the restrictive "papers please" immigration bill. Buh bye. He's gone.

A good day for freedom and rights :-)

You obviously haven't read the resolution you are referring to, have you? You're being told what to think again by your poor sources?

Who cares about a barely-winning vote that was an open-ended and non-specific referendum, only symbolic, is unable to be put into law, and was only on the ballot for the GOP to try and use in the future during appeals to the Supreme Court regarding the PPACA?

Especially when another conservative Court of Appeals, the DC, just two days ago upheld the mandate portion of the PPACA as constitutional?

BTW: every state has the ability to "opt out" of "Obamacare" - it's written into the law. You've been told that before, I guess you just continue to choose to deliberately ignore it. States that "opt out" do not receive federal funds, but must set up the same, or a better, system on their own. That's in the law, too. But that's not what the Ohio referendum on health insurance was about.

The Obama administration wants the Supreme Court to rule on the mandate portion of the PPACA before the next election. I hope they do.

WASHINGTON - (AP) -- A conservative-leaning appeals court panel on Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's health care law, as the Supreme Court prepares to consider this week whether to resolve conflicting rulings over the law's requirement that all Americans buy health care insurance.

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a split opinion upholding the lower court's ruling that found Congress did not overstep its authority in requiring people to have insurance or pay a penalty on their taxes, beginning in 2014. The requirement is the most controversial requirement of Obama's signature domestic legislative achievement and the focus of conflicting opinions from judges across the country. The Supreme Court could decide as early as Thursday during a closed meeting of the justices whether to accept appeals from some of those earlier rulings.
