Link only - Obamacare Initiates Self-Destruction Sequence
It needs to be repealed for real.
“Obama Repeals Obamacare.”
Yes, they are repealing it bit by bit, but they were too arrogant to let it be rightfully defunded or delayed back on Oct. 1 when they could have saved face.
OUCH! from the comments:

I think they’re dropping the mandate so they can use that as an excuse to explain the low enrollment rather than the fact that the plans are overpriced and overfeatured.”

This is what happens when affirmative action plays out and someone who’s never had a real job is allowed to play businessman with other peoples money.
Just like ObamaFlowers — good analogy that I got in an email. Send it on.
Obama Flowers - Have you ordered yours yet?
(Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?
(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you.
(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife.
(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer) But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer) Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer) What’s the difference?
(Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income?
(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department.
(Customer) FlowerAid?
(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can’t afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.
(Customer) Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.
(Customer) Whoa.....I don’t remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a “Tax”. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer) I don’t believe this...
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir?
(Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year.
(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer) Why?
(Receptionist) To determine what your ‘non-participation’ cost would be.
(Customer) WHAT? Your can’t charge me for NOT buying flowers!
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It’s $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income.....
(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I’ll pay the $9.50..
(Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!!
(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer) Look, I’m going to call my Congressman to find out what’s going on here. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay it.
(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that’s why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.
(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING?
(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir
(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.
Hits the nail ON THE HEAD. People who continue to support Obamacare are still doing do on tbe THEORY of what they perceive it is supposed to do, not on the realities.
ping for am
G'head, Cap'n, slam 'er inta warp drive. I dinna care no moor.
Obamacare appears to be venting plasma into open space, Captain. Their containment shields are probably breached.
Dinna worry, lad. Cap’n 0kirk is Cap’n 0kirk. E’ll simply issue an order suspending the laws o’ physics.
This is at best, damage control. Which suggests that the administration is expecting a fair amount of damage.
I love it.
Millions of people’s lives wrecked because of the democrats and the republican party is helping.
-Probably one of the five best science fiction movies of the 20th century. Come to think of it, five best, period.
Funny, but not really.
“It’s gonna go boom. “
Yeah LL, and the first boomlets will be heard the first week of the new year when some poor sick bastards try to see their doctor and are told no tickeee, no washeee! Look for Obassturd to be down around 30% by March 1. That will probably be the bottom because 100% of AA’s will still be in the tank for him.
“It needs to be repealed for real.”
Yes it does, but not before it causes FUBO’s demise.
