Of all of the last-minute delays, website bungles, and Presidential whims that have marred the roll-out of Obamacare’s subsidized insurance exchanges, what happened on Thursday, December 12 will stand as one of the most lawless acts yet committed by this administration.

Krauthammer finally spoke out about the real goal..”NATIONALIZED SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE”> All of us for example, knew this from the start.

Insurance companies will raise rates to cover the extraordinary costs to extraordinary levels.

Oooh ObamaCare = “winning!”

We haven’t heard any comments from the insurance companies that would indicate that they aren’t supportive of Obamacare, have we? I feel like they are complicit in this, and I’m not going to spend much time feeling sorry for them. They seem to be going along with these “Presidential directives” without a fight.

An officer of a stockholder owned company has a fiduciary responsibility to his shareholders. If the company is essentially being forced into bankruptcy it is incumbent on the officer to save as much value for the shareholders as possible. By declaring bankruptcy now they could divide up the company’s assets before those assets are sucked away by the government. Failure to do this should result in a prison term.

So is the. Highness, the Emperor, going to do this by edict, or is Congress going to do go along with it and help the demigod do away with private insurance?

“Thanks bigcat32.”

No problem. I didn’t see this epic piece of news anywhere until this morning even though the action took place two days ago.

People need to wake up and realize that THIS is THE issue.

Everything else, including the ‘get it off the plate so the the election can be about Obamacare’ budget deal is just noise.

They're frightened of the regime. They have reason to be. Open opposition would bring about their company's demise sooner.

Since they're going down either way, they may as well go down with guns blazing. But that's hard to justify to board members and stockholders.

This is where the focus needs to be kept. On bh0’s illegalities trying to make his “signature” destruction plan for US medical care going.

To quote a famous figure from the left, "What difference does it make?" The system will implode, by design, and in the ensuing chaos the hue and cry from the great unwashed masses will be," Government, help us." This is proven history.

At the Forbes article link, Megan Kelly seems to be missing the larger criminal issue of the Obama administration’s attempt to intimidate insurance companies into providing free coverage for enrollees to cover for the govt complete failures in the website rollout.

As popular as Megan may be, there seems to be an ongoing pattern with her in missing the key points of a given story. Amazing how she completely glosses over the Obama administration’s lawlessness and attacks the insurance companies.
