Horsecrap. It could fail 50 times over, in ways we can’t even articulate at this moment, it could never provide a lick of medical care, it could be shown to be a complete ripoff and never cause anyone in the entire country to get a freaking band aid for their kidney dialysis treatment and it would be lauded by the administration and the media and 51.3% of the population. And the next thing will be that the admin insists that we have to import 50 million (more) illegals to make the system work, raise taxes, increase deductibles, and only offer medical care on Tuesdays and Thursdays and STILL the FSA will insist it is their birthright, it is perfection except that it only requires a bit more time to perfect, and it will be applauded by everyone as the greatest humanitarian thing the United States has ever done, notwithstanding the defeat of Naziism and liberation of Europe, and the defeat of The USSR.
It’s over.
Not a snowball's chance in hell. Possibly in the private sector, but government??? No way.
Given that voters are “fire fighters” and not “fire preventers,” we need Obamacare to kick in for the following reason. Voters evidently need to get “kicked in the teeth” by constitutionally indefensible federal Obamacare to motivate them to get off of their couches and use their voting muscle to repeal Obamacare.
Voters, including former Obama supporters, can do so by trying to elect 2/3 conservative majority control of both Houses of Congress in 2014 elections. If voters succeed in doing so, then Congress will have the power, under the Constitution’s Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to override presidential vetoes. In other words, Congress will be able to repeal Obamacare without Obama’s signature.
It is not an insurance program. Insurance is a group of people who voluntarily agree to share risk. It must follow some basic actuarial principles or it will not work. The first principle that there is no free lunch. Obamacare will never work.
Ratings for Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, and SportsCenter will go up?
