Funny that you brought that up. On December 3 I posted the following reply:

New Obamacare Headache: Is Your Enrollment Real?

It is 4 AM January 1, 2014 and a farmer, father of four minor children is proceeding through a green light on his way to a veterinary hospital with a sick animal when a drunken, uninsured, illegal alien blows through a red light and strikes the driver side of the pickup truck putting the farmer in a hospital with a coma for three months until he eventually succumbs.

The widow is presented with a hospital bill in excess of $800,000 after she learns that the back office of the Obamacare program had miscommunicated with the insurance company had falsely advised the farmer and his widow that they had health insurance when in fact they had none.

It turns out of the hospital in the course of the next 90 days finds that it is under a pile of such cases amounting to millions of dollars in unpaid hospital services and they want to sue the widow and and take her farm. The widow turns to the government insurance plan and gets no help, in fact, she is dunned by the IRS for failure to have insurance as required by the Obamacare statute.

Scenarios similar to this are replicated in the tens of thousands during the days weeks and months immediately succeeding January 1, 2014.

It’s a disaster getting ready to happen.

If only these people could file a class action suit against the Government.

There will be thousands left without insurance.

It will be a wonder if Americans do not go to Washington with Lynch ropes for Democrats.

Would that be the same Rick Perry who pushed “dreamer” legislation.

Rick also pushed the Trans Texas Corridor.

Ah, yes, I had forgotten about that gem.
