ObamaCare

In a recent blog published titled "Opting-out of More ObamaCare Burdens" details out texas opting out of taking on the burden to set up government mandated healthcare. "Texas is one of many states refusing to voluntarily take on the burden of setting up federally mandated “healthcare exchanges” – and taxpayers are better because of it." The authors intended audience is anyone interested in the future of our nations healthcare system. The authors main argument is that by Rick Perry voluntarily opting out of taking on the burden of government run healthcare, "taxpayers are better because of it." I do not agree with that. Taxpayers are not going to be taxed on the state level for government run healthcare, but they definitely will be on the federal level. The money has to come from somewhere. The authors other point is that Rick Perry absolutely made the right decision in opting out of paying stating that we would receive the same treatment if the federal government sets it up as opposed to Texas setting the system up. 
The authors evidence that Texas will be better off is because the state would incur a cost near 63 million for setting up a system and then 43 million dollars annually to keep it running. The government is still unsure just how they are going to get the money to fund this due to the fact that a “funding mechanism for the exchanges was left out of the 2,000+ page bill.” The author goes on to say that “Guess they should have read it first before they passed it.”
