There’s the story about the nail factory in the old Soviet Union. The manager was given a yearly production quota in tons of nails to make. As the end of the year came, he realized that he wasn’t going to make his required quota. So, he made one ten ton nail. That’s how Obamacare is going to work. Success won’t be measured by improved healthcare, it will be measured by how many people sign up. It’s like asking how many refrigerators a refrigerator plant produced and then the manager says, “Well, we had a hundred thousand orders!” It’s smoke and mirrors.
Tufta, it’s how you pad the quota.
