Anyone seen the method for "opting-out" yet?
Is it going to be the legislature? Ballot initiative?

If it's the state legislature I would love to see some of those people take a no vote on it.

1. Only thing I saw was one article which said
states would be allowed to opt out, "preferably by referendum." I believe the answer is the details are not yet ironed out or 'TBD.'

2. It's not decided yet.

They're said to be talking of possibly by referendum, legislature or even just a gubernatorial decree.

I have a sinking feeling it will be either legislature or gubernatorial decree.

3. We already HAVE an opt out plan
Cant afford the insurance, get sick and opt out by dying.
