Obamacare: Are There Any Conservative Principles that Conservatives Will Stand Behind? | Alternet
"Conservatives, we are told, believe in states' rights and the power of local government. They distrust centralized power, believing that faceless bureaucrats in the capitol aren't able to govern states with diverse populations and economies as well as the states can govern themselves. They favor local control -- constantly advocating for the devolution of power from Washington.
Many are now refusing to set up the healthcare exchanges that are a centerpiece of Obamacare, which means that faceless bureaucrats in Washington, DC, will do it instead -- they're opting for more centralization."
