they need crisis in order to bring things about they could never normally get done, and they need a ton f people screaming for them to do somethig.

they will pitch single payer as simpler because govt will be the only payer. so the system will be a lot simpler, we will be told.

if there are any fixes now, it’s to get the govt part of it working, not the private insurers parts.

I agree. This is now a really big problem. When this administration instructs private business to ignore the law then we potentially have a constitutional crisis. The company is exposed to lawsuits if they comply, they are also now exposed to lawsuits if they don’t. Lose - Lose for the administration and the Democrats.

They need crisis, yes, but not from something that they proposed. The crisis hypothesis only works if the crisis is perceived as the result of the opponent’s fault; for example, the 2008 crisis was (perceived ) as caused by Wall Street greeds made possible by Republican policies. So, it made sense when the Dhims then came with an alternative policy to deal with the crisis. It doesn’t work when the crisis is caused by their own policy.

Don’t give 0 a pass. They knew exacly wth would happen it’s just that they didnt plan on the after effects, results and backlash.

I believe it’s illegal for insurence companies to sell those policies. So what power does the president have to wave his paw and declare it’s now ok to do so? So let it be written, so let it be done, so sez pharaoh Obama

That's part of his plan - get them to commit illegal acts while following his illegal proclamation and destroy them with law suits after the 2014 elections - speeds up the single=payer end game.

Insurance companies need to push back on that. But it’s a misdirection to shift blame to them and take the focus off Obama
