“It’s a liberal President’s core “achievement” and a supposed demonstration project for how government can improve people’s lives: and it’s going down in flames.”
I am also hoping for this. It’s going to be an expensive lesson and there will be casualties (the people who are getting creamed by health care costs or the fools who “go bareback” and then are faced with bankruptcy), but I don’t think that it will be forgotten by the public until at least my family and I are out of the picture.
the destructive fallout to liberalism/big government: it doesn’t stop when the democrats give up and scrap or indefinitely delay the ACA.
millions of policies will be cancelled before that happens. All the insurance co’s have reprogrammed their systems to deal with the legal requirements of obamacare. the old policies are gone, they are not coming back
that’s why Shaheen, Landrieu wanting to grandfather existing plans will not work - it’s like trying to force GM to start selling Pontiac’s again.
for IT projects, you do not cancel the existing the existing system until the new is up and running.
Obama and co broke that basic rule, and they and millions of individual policy holders are going to find out the consequences of that on Jan 1, 2014.
