ObamaCare architect: It wasn’t supposed to be this way
Hot Air ^ | Erika Johnsen | November 12, 2013

Former senior Obama healthcare adviser and bigtime ACA architect David Cutler maintains that ObamaCare is going to work, and indeed, that law is already reducing medical costs across the board (…yeah, no). He did point out on Fox News last night, however, that without more robust enrollment than we’re seeing now, costs are definitely going to start skyrocketing: “If the numbers aren’t there then the premiums and the exchanges will be very high because the people who will go through the most hoops to get that coverage are those to whom the costs are highest and their coverage is the worst.”

As to the insurance cancellations millions of Americans are now receiving, he lamented that this is the way the process of implementing ObamaCare is going at the last: People were supposed to want to readily switch from their current plans and transfer into the exchanges, because they’d be able to so easily see how much better off they would be both financially and coverage-wise in the exchanges, and none of this would have been an issue. Back in 2010, Cutler warned the White House that their healthcare rollout was already a botched, glitchy mess in the making, but even if the website had been perfect from Day One… one wonders why so many individuals would volunteer to pay health care premiums at an average of 41 percent higher than before.

It’s always the contractors’ fault. Anyway, are we seeing an impromptu rebellion?

Collectivism has many flaws. Chief among them, assuming folks will behave according to the design of the pogrom.

“It wasn’t supposed to be this way”

Is that what the captin of the Titanic said while standing on the bridge and going down with his ship?

"Necessarily skyrocket" that is.

As with our electric rates.

A great time, huh?

The election of RINO Scott Brown meant you had to pass the bill thru reconciliation as-is and could not implement your slate of technical fixes.

Awww......too bad!

bigtime ACA architect David Cutler...

You've come a long way... for shame. I'm presuming this is the Cutler of Digital VAX fame, thence to Windoze NT.

So, how does Obama take Clinton’s advice and let people keep their coverage ... and brings costs down by enrolling young healthy people?

I see a disconnect here.

BTW, does Obama tell Clinton to stuff it?

This guy is a weasel and scared of Kelly. LOL he kept sniveling the whole time.

The interview with David Mamet that followed was priceless because this guy’s behavior was addressed!

So, if it’s a big benefit to you, you’ll probably sign right up. But, if you don’t see the benefit in it, you won’t sign up or you’ll drag your feet. Wow. Who would have thought that? You’d probably have to go to Harvard law school to be smart enough to know that. Well.........maybe not.

According to the libs Obamacare is the law of the land. Therefore unless it is repealed these people who lost their policies cannot get them back because they don’t meet the legal requirements.

I would assume the Obamanistas shortly will start calling Slick Willie a racist again...

Mandatory enrollment with no opting out is on the way.. As planned. Even the Fascist SCROTUS might have a problem with this, however.

With the government takeover of health insurance and healtcare, prices can’t do anything but skyrocket. Fascism isn’t cheap.

Given that former Speaker Pelosi irresponsibly wouldn’t give representatives the time to read the Obamacare bill before ramming it through the HoR, Obamacare is a Pandora’s Box.
