Do you think that states in this country will secede from the union in our lifetimes? (lifetime being say the next +/-50 years)

Do you think if the healthcare reform passes it will be the first major step toward this happening?

NO.

Couple of years? NO 30-50 maybe

Nice touch with the last option, which is what I chose.

The Federal government is far too paternalistic and powerfully centralized to let any state ever leave.

+1. Not going to be any Rev or Civil wars either. We'll go out with a whimper, like Rome did.

Didn't we have this debate about 150 years ago?

A civil war over health care reform. Somehow, I doubt it.

We are the modern day Rome in my opinion.
