It is irrelevant. The infrastructure is in place. The HHS has already written rules. Money has already been paid in. The insurance companies have already made significant changes. Jobs have been created.
If Obama wins this, he declares it is only the first part of the new law and that much more has to be done. That will be the nod to his constituencies.
If Obama loses, same thing applies.
The most important aspect of this entire program that is not being addressed is this. This program is Cloward Piven on steroids. It is designed to put the nail in the coffin of the middle class. If you are wealthy enough, you will find a way to get your waiver. If you are poor enough, you won’t pay a dime into this. If you are in the middle class, you are going to be sucked dry until you are poor.
Within one election cycle, there will no longer be a middle class. Sorry people, the train has left the station and the on;y set of brakes we had was destroyed by the MSM when they picked Romney as our candidate.
Guess that leaves one locution: all the middle class need to become upper class.
Many people forget that even though a majority are against SoetoroCare in name, large numbers of people still support individual provisions that’ll be just as bad.. the stuff about insurance companies being forbidden to deny insurance to anyone bit, for example.
How the hell is an “insurance” company supposed to stay afloat when they’re no longer selling insurance.. correctly defined as protection against future events anyway.. but are forced to offer heavily discounted care for people who are already sick? They’ll need such massive gov’t underwriting that they’ll become Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s in all but name.
This is coming by Romney or Obama, I’m afraid. Romneys version might not be as terrible, but it’ll permanently destroy the future of real conservatism within Republican party. At least with barry, legislators with an R after their names can still call themselves the opposition.
Perhaps the USSC striking it all will trigger a public realization that forcing companies into dependence on gov’t aid to stay afloat merely gives you the worst of both worlds, but I doubt it.
