Obamacare? “Nevermind.”
==
Obama tries for a do-over and opens a whole new can of worms that is wrought with unintended consequences.
Obama ‘allows’ the delay of the individual mandates, if individuals can get a restored plan from their insurance company.
So what if the restored plans are illegal, under the Obamacare Law. The O hath spoken.
The O then sneakily appoints insurance companies and state insurance commissioners to, quoting Captain Picard of The Starship Enterprise, “make it happen.” That alleviates The O from having to act any more and it shifts responsibility for failure and conflagration onto the insurance companies and state insurance commissions. Slick, huh!
However, several state insurance commissions have already raised questions and/or declined participation in The O’s ‘recommendation’. One insurance commissioner (D.C.) has already been replaced for disparaging ‘the grand recommendation’.
Trial lawyers are already lining up for the probable lawsuits — from patients, from insurance companies, from medical facilities. This could turn out to be the greatest silver-lined cloud (for trial lawyers) since the great tobacco settlement of two decades ago that was supposed to end smoking.
Insurance companies have lost their customer base, it isn’t easy to build that.
What is going to happen to the entire health care distribution system next year will make the Philippines devastation look minor.
No provider will know how or when payment will be made or who will make it.
If government thought that inserting “wellness” coverage into every policy was actually going to save lives and lower costs they were just plain stupid.
No matter what insurance companies, hospitals, etc do, there will be lawyers, government - to enforce selectively whatever Holder and the gang want; and civil to sue for malpractice.
It is going to be a very bad winter!
Is the regime just introducing more chaos or is it real?Also will the Republicans manage to once again steal defeat from the jaws of a sure victory?
