Obamacare will ultimately fail because it gives the government the right to rule you instead of offering greater choices to individuals about their health and wellbeing.
In spite of all the resignation, I see Obamacare failing for the following reason: Start by considering just a short list of the current entitlements/benefits/programs/bureaucracies in place.
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Food Stamps
Subsidized loans
Grants
Etc, etc.
Now we know that the expansion of federal government has lead to an unsustainable fiscal position of growing deficits and public debt. Everyone knows and recognizes this, and it will fall upon any administration to deal with it when the day of reckoning (very soon) arrives. Just before we plummet into a Grecian abyss, it will be the unpleasant task of Congress to begin pulling plugs on the aforementioned sacred cows. Which one do you think they will dismantle first? The popular programs that have been around for years and that for good or worse many have become dependent on, or the most recent one that only about a third of the voting public likes?
We are in for some hard economic times. We can forestall them by borrowing and printing more, but it will only make the final accounting worse. The only positive out of this is any more socialism *cannot* be implemented in the U.S. because it is too late, we are already out of other people’s money to spend.
