Interesting to see how this plays out.

1) Motion for reconsideration- denied by SCOTUS;
2) Non-compliant medical care providers simply won't get paid their Medicare/Medicaid charges, which will financially choke them into compliance very quickly- because their cash flow, operating scales and entire business structures are dependent on regular Medicaid/Medicare payments;
3) If Desantis interferes in any way- there will be an immediate federal court order prohibiting him from interfering, which would would then be appealed to SCOTUS quickly. Scotus might even simply refuse to even hear the appealast, which would either refuse to even hear the case or rule on it against him immediately.
4) If he were to still refuse, I am sure the federal government would bear pressure by withdrawing aid and resources to quickly choke the state into compliance; and finally;
5) Should it ever come to it, the next step is serious coercion and then the use of force....
Federalism. SCOTUS ruled (fairly or not) and the matter is supposed to be fully and finally decided. Desantis wants this fight. It is raw meat for the national crowd. He could have no way out from his position and he will continue to complain and argue about it ad nauseum. Wonder if he'll ask FL to secede? LOL...
Deep South governors once refused school intervention and their supporters cheered. But, it didn't take long for the federal government to step in with force. I wonder if, taken to the extreme, this could kind of play-out in the same way. HE ONLY WON BY A MERE .4%, i.e. just 4/1Oths of one percent, which is anything but a plebiscite
