Sam Stein, who poses as a journalist while toiling at the Huffington Post (he lost any legitimate claim to the title when he wouldn't back away when caught red-handed pretending to know something he couldn't possibly know about John McCain's vetting or lack thereof of Sarah Palin in September 2008), wrote on Thursday (HT Hot Air) that "The Obama administration is considering a fix to the president’s health care law that would expand the universe of individuals who receive tax subsidies to help buy insurance."
Of course, Stein didn't look into how much this "fix," better described as a "huge spending increase," might cost, and "somehow" forgot that any such "fix" substantially increasing tax subsidies would destroy President Obama's unqualified 2009 pledge that "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future. I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period."
Sounds like the usual Democrat bribery for votes, an updated version of the ObamaPhone. Once he has you hooked on the subsidy, your premiums will go up and you will be paying through the nose....unless you are in the right color or gender-challenged group.
You can only put so many band-aids on a gaping wound before you realize that either quickly or slowly, you’re still bleeding to death.
Big Bwana the corrupt tribal chieftain says the law be whatever he SAY it is.
The president cannot arbitrarily change the law. As much as liberal Obama bootlicking acolytes wish it were so, Reichfuhrer Barry won't be able to do it and he will be forced to resign over this entire hot mess.
At what point does Congress step in and constrain the finances?

Yeah, that’s sure to stop him.
The fix is to give everyone free valium. Everything will be cool.
Ben & Janet’s can crank out the bucks!
Go Baraq!

Or more anti-Constitutional legislation by Executive Order, from the Dictator-wannabe.
how funny. Yep, that’s where we’re at. The old lady, who has no need for birth control at her age, will have that coverage. But, we’re going to ration out other care which would really benefit senior citizens.
More and bigger lies.

“Is Boehner willing to withold Americans’ healthcare, just to spite Obama?”
Wait for it.
But don’t hold your breath waiting for Congress to withold funding.
Obamacare will not “collapse under its own weight.”
Why can’t they just allow us to deduct the cost of health insurance from our tax returns?
Regardless of subsidies, the “sticker shock” will come with the bill for the copay and deductible.
I could see being forced to stay in with the premium being an automatic deduction of some kind. Otherwise, people will sign up, get all of their medical problems taken care of, then drop out.
That's the other factor that's going to cause the insurance to go up unbelievably after the first year...the "takers" will sign up if they find a way to use the system. A lot of people with a lot of medical issues, real or not, are going to get every benefit they can that first year.
The other thing is those new Medicaid eligible. Will they be automatically moved to Obamacare if their financial situation improves, without being able to opt out? They've given the feds control of their bodies when they took Medicaid.
I've been thinking about it. That's how they get enough people in the system. It's going to be like a sticky spider web. Wait to sign up until you get an expensive illness? No problem. Healed, want to go back to opting out. Isn't going to happen. The actuaries are writing the rules, after all.
I'm just guessing, but how else can it work?
They will double, triple and quadruple down before they'll ever admit the Obama choom gang is just plain incompetent.
“Why can’t they just allow us to deduct the cost of health insurance from our tax returns?”
LMAO! Because that only helps those that pay taxes and O’bastard and the Demonrats know that not many of their base are in that group.
The House will not appropriate any more money for more subsidies for a product that middle class voters don’t want.
I know — the childish politics will dominate the necessary considerations.
