[WV Dem Senator]Manchin: Obamacare could suffer ‘complete meltdown’
The Washington Post's Post Politics ^ | December 22, 2013 | Aaron Blake

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Sunday that Obamacare could be headed for a "complete meltdown" if costs rise too fast and people are unhappy with their coverage.

“If it’s so much more expensive than what we anticipated, and if the coverage is not as good as what we've had, you’ve got a complete meltdown at that time,” Manchin said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The senator said such a situation would result in the law collapsing under "its own weight."(continued)

Wait until they find out there is no healthcare in Obamacare. There never was.

I imagine that after a week of relentless nationwide abuse, Ethan Krupp (as that is Pajama Boy’s name. However, his familial relationship to the German WWII war machine industrial power has not been ascertained at press time), I imagine that the poor schmuck (Yiddish word, but let’s make an exception and apply it to the Kraut just once) must be under the care of a qualified psychiatric professional.

Can’t dodge it, Joe. You’re one of the ones who fell for passing it so we could find out what’s in it. You’re the one who followed a crazy woman and a foreign-born phony who sits in the White House and has run a debt that likely will ruin the lives of Americans for generations to come. Ole baloney, Joe. Really old baloney.

That is exactly what is going to happen!

The idiot Democrats have no idea how the free market operate, people aren't going to pay more for less and even the fine will not induce them to do so.

A meltdown, you say? Couldn’t happen to a more appropriate piece of legislative effluent. And, the sooner the better.

AGREED. Manchin needs to be reminded and held accountable.

It’s already had several meltdowns.

It will have more. As a law it is ridiculous and instead of waiting for a Court Case with standing a real Supreme Court would have done away with it the day after it was passed.

Of course what we have calling themselves a Supreme Court now is just a batch of educated liberal idiots without any idea what the Constitution says. Either that or they deliberately ignore it.
