Usual crap. Obamacare is a massive failure, massively unpopular. All it has done is sign millions up for Medicaid on my taxpayer dime. Krugman also managed Enron, so best to ignore him
The “death spiral” is a spiral - it doesn’t happen overnight - whether it actually does happen we find out in the future, when we get feedback from how premiums and coverage costs correspond. I don’t even have a Nobel Prize in economics, and I can understand that point.
And at a more fundamental level, what we have now is not Obamacare, it’s a small subset of Obamacare. Mr. Krugman can get back to me with his snark once all the delays, exceptions, cut-outs, and hold-overs have expired, and the entire public has to walk around with this albatross.
The father of a friend on mine has been waiting since March 1 to see a cardiologist, he is still waiting. I am not talking about the VA.
(Martha) RADDATZ: Let me ask you this, I want to go back to this implementation, because we can’t quite go forward yet. Did you feel misled by Obama?
(Senator Kristen) GILLIBRAND: He should have just been more specific, because the point is if you’re offered by a terrible health care plan that the minute you get sick, you’re going to have to go into bankruptcy, those plans should never be offered.
RADDATZ: So, were you misled?
GILLIBRAND: He should have just been specific.
No, we all knew...
I almost feel sorry for Krugman.
FORWARD COMRADES!!!
So it just doesn’t count that people are losing their insurance, their doctors, and paying through the nose for the privilege. Those enrollment numbers are up (forced at the point of a penalty or worse).
Why should they care? They’re exempt.
When should be able to euthanize this creep, under the aegis of the complete lives system.
I’m going to enjoy the look on Krugholes face when Ophonybamacare is declared a colossal failure and is replaced by a FRee market healthcare system!
One thing we can thank God for is that neither Osama Obama nor any of his rich,privileged pals will ever have to wait 4 or 5 *seconds*,let alone days,for *anything*.
How come Obamacare’s biggest champions are people who are exempt?
Since much of this calamity has been postponed until after the ‘14 and even ‘16 elections, it is far too soon for this Obama cultist to hoist the “Mission Accomplished” banner.
How can it be working when all of its key features have been delayed for political reasons?
You can safely ignore the scare-monger’s rumors of Soviet troops and vehicles in Seelowe Heights. We’ve taken Moscow and are rapidly driving east.
I’ll bet Krugman has pinup posters of Barry all over his bedroom walls.
It is working just fine except for the ones who need it or have it. Otherwise..its a winner!
Not even half of Obamacare has been implemented after all Obama’s waivers for favored groups and his putting off many major components, including the biggest component of all which is implementation of the employer mandate.
No one but an idiot or an Obama apologist would be declaring success at this stage.
But wait until they try to turn that into healthcare.
Then they'll find out how much paper is worth.
