100 Unintended Consequences of Obamacare

National Review ^ | 10/1/13 | Andrew Johnson

Today, Obamacare’s October 1 launch date finally arrived. Ever since its passage, supporters of the law have made countless attempts to convince the American people of its viability, dismissing predictions of lost jobs, decreased hours, and rising costs, among others.

Yet from major corporations to local mom-and-pop shops, from entire states to tiny school districts, a wide range of companies and institutions have seen Obamacare’s negative impact on their workers, budgets, and production. Here are 100 examples of how Obamacare is falling short of what was promised.

Unintended Consequences? I think not, and find the pretense insulting.

[jughandle]

From the article, “medical device tax”? Every time I try to read and understand more of this law the worse of a headache I get.

[arthurus]

The goal is to fail and thus cause Single Payer to be Required to fix the “failed” Ocare. Thus Obamacare is NOT failing in its purpose. I would bu unsurprised if the administration announces that Obamacare has, indeed, failed and that the Administration is changing the law to make it institute Single Payer. The wording of laws on the books and of the Constitution is of no consequence to this regime and many demonstrations of that have occurred already with this very law.There has been no pretense that what is being done to fiat change ACA is legal by the terms of the law itself, much less by the Constitution. The line has been crossed.

[Common Sense 101]

THEY’RE NOT UNINTENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is defending the signature bill of his Presidency that fully illustrates
that he is totally incompetent.

[I want the USA back]

The consequences are foreseen and therefore intended. They know what they are doing, and are willing to wait as long as it takes to turn the USA into a communist ‘paradise.’

[arthurus]

Judging competence depends on what he is trying to accomplish. Improved Medicine is assuredly not what the goal is. Socialist control of the economy and detailed knowledge of everyone's financial worth and arrangements. In short the goal is pure power and the elimination of the Cnstitution as even some sort of old stodgies' wish list. He is succeeding in all that. That does not indicate incompetence. Even if obamacare is crippled by defunding, the immense bureaucrach for it is already in place and it will be replaced by something even worse that the Republicans will go along with.
