The Obama administration once gave us "man-caused disasters" for acts of terrorism and "workplace violence" for the Fort Hood shootings. Now it has trumped those past linguistic contortions by changing words to mask the Obamacare disaster.
The president and his advisors apparently knew long ago that millions of the insured would face cancellations or premium hikes once Obamacare would be fully implemented. Yet to get the 906-page bill passed, they had to convince the public of the very opposite scenario. So they repeated ironclad guarantees that no one would lose their coverage or doctors -- "period!"
Now the administration explains the deception by going after both the ethics of the insurers and the intelligence of the previously insured. That task required language to be altered. The newly canceled health plans are suddenly rebranded by the administration as "subpar." Only in autumn 2013 is the supposedly unaware public told that, years ago, "bad apple" insurance companies sold them "substandard" plans.
According to Obama, millions of Americans were once ignorant or uninformed, and thus will soon be pleased about their cancellations: "So the majority of folks will end up being better off. Of course, because the website's not working right, they don't necessarily know it."

The thing that totally amazes me is that they think just by calling it something people will believe it. How on earth can you possible attach "free market" to Obamacare?
Yes and God knows that profits are EVIL. The only thing that is good and wholesome is unending debt.
From the comments section on Townhall (not mine, I just thought this was good): Everyone thinks that Obama Care is a failure, but in reality, its working flawlessly.
1.They know that a give-away policy, once enacted, will never be repealed. So it doesn’t matter if it “works” or not, the money faucet has been turned on wide-open for ever.
2. Fixing the website is an endless project with an unlimited un-appropriated budget, that people will demand be fixed no matter the cost.
3. The navigators are being set-up, providing a federal footprint in the inner cities. These agencies will expand, hire unqualified people and pay them lavishly, and engage in graft, cronyism and influence peddling.
4. Private insurance and, by extension, free enterprise have been painted as evil. This sets the stage for single payer.
5. The mechanism is in place for complete control over our lives through the cost of “risky” behaviors like eating trans fats or owning a gun. The feds will have your complete medical history on file, with instant updates.
All is working to plan as Dr. Evil says.....
....except that Americans are not believing it, and, most of all, are not buying it.
OMG-—this sucker get scarier by the minute.
What? The insured public isn’t enjoying and embracing their transition to nobamadontcare? They must be racist. How dare they resist the dictate of Clown Prince nobama.
Bullet, rope, or electricity? Those are free market choices.
Been a long time since I read Animal Farm, but IIRC eventually all of the animal's rights are whitewashed over, replaced by a single dictum: "Napoleon is always right".
Obama seems to have the right to change, redefine and selectively enforce the ACA. He can delay action, subsidize or exclude groups from compliance, to the point where Obamacare is what he says it is. Eventually no no rationalizations, clarifications or excuses will be needed, because "Napoleon is always right"
