In a new [blog post](http://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelcannon/2013/10/18/save-the-knives-for-obamacare-four-ways-to-actually-defund-the-aca/) over at *Forbes*, I encourage opponents to save the knives for Obamacare and focus on four strategies for defunding the law:

1. Stop Medicaid expansion in the states.
2. Get states, employers, and citizens to challenge the IRS’s illegal ObamaCare taxes.
3. Educate states about how to block the IRS’s illegal taxes legislatively.
4. Urge House investigators to subpoena all materials related to the IRS’s illegal taxes.
