Krauthammer on Healthcare.gov: 'All hell's going to break loose'

Charles Krauthammer predicted Wednesday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that "all hell's going to break loose" if the administration can't fix the problems with the Healthcare.gov website by mid-March.

"Right now the insurers are guessing at the subsidy, so all of this is on the honor system and it can be wildly off," Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor said. "If they undershoot, the insurers are going to go bust. If they overshoot, the government is going to be stuck with a huge bill."

In other words, a path to single payer by the end of 2014 DOES exist.

i predict they’ll - fedgov - undershoot on purpose to kill off a bunch of insurers and get to single-payer that much faster.

[Robe]

Either way, it will work as planned, single payer here we come

CHarles, it already has................................

Here’s my free advice to healthcare insurers -

have the plans that people want “on deck” and ready to sell,
as well as TV ads telling people you have them available.

People will buy them, doctors will accept them, and the gov’t can go pound sand.

If private insurance companies aren’t bankrupt within a year, ACORN and SEIU will surround their HQ buildings with gasoline and burn them to the ground.

That’s what we get for allowing a foreign agent to usurp the presidency.

Them Chickens are coming Home to Roost.

Another Total train wreck is following.

Charles Krauthammer's problem is the focus on the damn website. That's the LEAST of the problems.

Fixing the website would be about as effective as having a nice functioning cash register is a restaurant selling sh*t sandwiches and forcing people at gunpoint to buy them.

Obama will take charge and say , I can’t wait for Congress(what he always says) and declare single payer and take a victory lap with a vacation , LOL

... path to single payer

If I had a dollar for every time some Freeper posted that on this website, I could buy a new truck for cash.

Solyndra - cash for clunkers

the list is massive

A little late to the party....”all hell broke loose” in November 2008...

[ThomasMore]

It was always planned that way.

[Capt. Tom]

"If they undershoot, the insurers are going to go bust. If they overshoot, the government is going to be stuck with a huge bill."

Just a wild guess, but I think the insurers will overshoot. -Tom

That statement deserves major emphasis.
