” Government ownership of the means of production means that politicians also own the consequences of their policies, and have to face responsibility when those consequences are disastrous — something that Barack Obama avoids like the plague.
Thus the Obama administration can arbitrarily force insurance companies to cover the children of their customers until the children are 26 years old. Obviously, this creates favorable publicity for President Obama. But if this and other government edicts cause insurance premiums to rise, then that is something that can be blamed on the “greed” of the insurance companies. “
Great job by Tom Sowell. Why OWN the means of production, when you can CONTROL it, and when things go awy, blame the opposition?
That is certainly how Dems need it to play out and almost half the disapproval of it is those who think it doesnt go far enough.
Obama put all those freebees up front in his election year 2012 and the resulting rising premium costs could be claimed to be ‘why we need the affordable health care act more than ever’, so it was a good move for him foe election.
Now next year it really hits the fan with the really destructive stuff and yes Dems will be blaming Sequester and GOP for all the Obamacare caused ills.
The best thing the GOP can do is provide regular and accurate specific detailed examples of what Obama-care is doing to our insurance, like a tuitorial, rather than repeating all the generalizations they been using for years.
