Why?
Why the why?
(bookmark actually but more fun to do it this way)
I don’t see it taking til 2017 at the rate things are disintegrating in 6-12 mos the pitchforks are going to be coming out.
Pffft. Americans are frogs in a pot. As long as the heat isn’t turned up sharply, Americans will sit and cook.
Refer back to the video of the people at a auto repair facility getting their heath insurance increases. Sure, they were upset, but not angry, more resigned, dis spirited.
The American public deserves less credit than I’ve given them lately, (which is to say, none).
No government program assuring as much ready and uncontrolled opportunity for the unscrupulous to abuse authority and steal from the system will EVER go away!!
NEVER
This should collapse well before the authors’ timeline. Much of the hidden agendas buried in this horror story are coming out much faster than the perps thought it would.
Conservatives/GOP have an excellent opportunity to paint the picture and use it in both 2014 and 2016. Pray for rain.
DITTO!
I remember reading on the Web in 1945, maybe even by the same author, maybe also excerpted, an article titled “How Social Security Will Die”. I’m waiting.
The author is an optimist. Obama will keep making changes and evolving Obamacare into government health care. It may not take a dramatic collapse to set the stage for full government care, but only a passive populace and Congress who will allow Obama to keep changing the plan as he sees fit. Obamacare will absorb providers and provider facilities through control of rates, standards and authorized practices. There will be more subsidies, delays and the cost will always be hidden. There will probably be a fringe private practice totally operating on a cash basis, but it will just be a small percentage of coverage and serve as a safety valve to populist pressure.
The Rats are running from Obama and Obamacare already. As more and more horror stories hit the news Obamacare and anyone who supported it will be radioactive.
The Lamestream Press will not be able to suppress it anymore.
Huh? Wha?
Bingo. Or to borrow from the analogy of another FReeper here, they put the frog in the pot, but then their hand slipped on the dial and they immediately cranked the burner up to 11.
Huh? Wha?
Damned time travelers. I knew they were spying on us. Once in a while, one gives himself away. :)
Got some bad news from the astronomy front on this analogy.
Wikipedia (yes, I know the warnings) article on white dwarfs
A white dwarf is stable once formed and will continue to cool almost indefinitely; eventually, it will become a black white dwarf, also called a black dwarf. Assuming that the Universe continues to expand, it is thought that in 1019 to 1020 years, the galaxies will evaporate as their stars escape into intergalactic space. White dwarfs should generally survive this, although an occasional collision between white dwarfs may produce a new fusing star or a super-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf which will explode in a Type Ia supernova. The subsequent lifetime of white dwarfs is thought to be on the order of the lifetime of the proton, known to be at least 1032 years. Some simple grand unified theories predict a proton lifetime of no more than 1049 years.
So, Obamacare will never die.
I just can NOT understand why people think Obamacare will die.
It has the full power of the US Government, its treasury, and the printing presses of the Federal Reserve behind it and every other progressive nanny-state scheme.
It doesn’t matter how bad or expensive Obamacare becomes. It will not die - it must be killed - and I see no spine or political will in DC to do that.
Agree; there is a lot of wishful thinking that it will collapse on its own and the politicians won't have to do anything that might be personally painful. Unless it is specifically killed and a wooden stake put through its heart, it will just keep staggering on with more and more money being sucked in that will create more and more constituencies that are dependent on it for treatment or income and will rally to defend it - just like the disaster British Health Care system.
LOLOL Thanks for that.
