So it turns out there is an Obamacare death panel after all.
It has nine members and it operates out of a marble building directly across the street from the Capitol.
When the Supreme Court on Friday announced that it would take up another challenge to the Affordable Care Act in March, it delivered the threat of two mortal blows to the signature achievement of the Obama presidency.
First, it raised the possibility that the justices, who narrowly spared the law in 2012, will in June come out with a new ruling that would dismantle the law on different grounds. But even if the justices make no such ruling, the very act of taking up the challenge to the law will itself undermine the law. The justices announced their decision just a week before the open-enrollment period for 2015 begins — and the looming possibility that the high court will strike down the law will probably deter those who are considering signing up for its coverage.

it was designed to fail anyways
Die
Die
Die
It can’t die.
SCOTUS can always find some “right” in it, and now matter how poorly designed or expensive it is, the Federal Government can always have the Federal Reserve print up more money for debt monetization to pay for it.
there is no such thing as a death spiral for Obamacare or any federal program for that matter, it’s just a bigger deficit, which Obama and the democrats just don’t care about. It means absolutely nothing to them
” it was designed to fail anyways”
Of course it was. Back door to the fedgov just snatching money out of your account every month.
My, my. that would be such a shame. When the light of truth shines on the lying Left, they run like cockroaches.
There’s something near that called withholding, but some universal healthcare tax would make it worse.
The idea is such a lead balloon, however, that it will force political change.
what did panther whiz ever do to deserve the comparison here.
The more the insurance companies take a hit, the more they get paid by the taxpayer, so it’s not a death spiral in the classic sense of the term. Believe me, the insurance actuaries have baked in this very scenario, whearas Dynamic Analysis is not the government’s forte.
The Death Spiral is when not enough input is there for the outgo. In this case young people, paying through the nose and paying fines, verses sick people (read with pre-existing conditions).
IMHO Obamacare is already in the Death Spiral because of the pre-existing clause and that not enough of the young have signed up because it is too expensive for most of them.
My feeling was that, just as the Architect said, the Voters were stupid (and did not realize the planned failure of the ACA). When the outgo exceeds the income, it's a treasury raid till that goes bust and so does our government. IMHO, that is the plan.
Yes, but it was supposed to kill off the private insurance market first.
There is no Dana, only Tool.
The American People are against it, it will die or be killed.
While yours is the obvious answer, I offer others:
1-It is the natural result of the Black Hole it created in the Federal Budget.
2-Pyramid Schemes always end in a death spiral.
3-Oft times the “Greater Fool Theory” runs out of fools earlier than anticipated.
Obama ... hoisted on his own petard ... Bravo!!!!!
