Exactly as they were all in on the scam.

I am leaving in his stammering, because it helps clarify the context of his meaning

Just meditate on that for a while.

The recent jigsaw-puzzle compilation of the Benghazi timeline by Conservative Treehouse - with numerous citations from the left’s own media outlets - reveals that Messrs Boehner and McConnell were as aware and approving of the supposedly clandestine plan as any Obamaite.

The point is that Boehner and McConnell are unarmed - by design or happenstance - in opposing or investigating any Obama wrongdoing, fraud, or plain old falsehoods on Obamacare or any other subject. They have walked right into a blackmail trap. They are happy to let Issa, Gowdy et al hold hearings and rave on TV but the leash will be kept short out of necessity and any findings will be predetermined, limited and of course punishments will be light to nonexistent.

"Since people know so little about public policy in general and health-care policy in particular, they tend to have incoherent views. In health care and other areas, they want to enjoy generous benefits while paying low taxes..."

This is a superb argument for why all of this must be left in the hands of the Free Market. Because there people are making decisions for themselves and not at best having 1 vote every two or four years out of millions of votes. It's impossible for a human being to make an informed decision about this.

In the Free Market, if people make a bad decision, they have incentive to correct it. Under government, there is no incentive to overturn a bad decision, in fact the worse it gets, the more money government demands. How many decades has the government been "reforming" government schools. Have the government schools improved in their core job of educating children in the basics? Gender-norming, they got down in aces, but geometry, not so much.

And 99% of Republicans are "reform" government types and thus doomed to failure. The RINO's and GOP-e are not even "reform" types. They're "let us run the show" types. Worse than useless.

Chait should have also included his “stammering for context”, because this justification clearly requires it....

Anyone who takes New York Magazine seriously deserves to be subjected to Chait’s bilge water. This article will convince no one who isn’t already a true believer.

May I be the first to point out that the Emperor has no clothes. The entire argument over Obamacare and the U.S. healthcare system is based on a myth and fraudulent argument.

To wit: The millions of people, citizens and non-citizens who had no insurance coverage were totally without healthcare. That was the big lie that was sold to generate demand for a revision of the healthcare system, one sixth of the economy. But it simply wasn’t the case. No one made the argument that there is a major difference between being insured and the delivery of healthcare.

If millions got no healthcare prior to Obamacare wouldn’t there have been statistics showing millions of death due to illnesses and accidents that weren’t treated? Wouldn’t there have been thousands, maybe millions, of bodies in the streets?

The fact is that every community in the country had a delivery system for healthcare to folks who weren’t insured through hospitals and clinics that furnished care to them based on need and their ability to pay. In fact, the poor and non-citizens got the best deal of all since their healthcare was usually delivered without deductibles and without requirement for payments.

So we have changed a working healthcare system that many people were OK with, for a pig in a poke which has been dictated to us by a few ‘experts’ who believe they know what is best for everyone. And so they lied.

But the biggest lie of all was that without insurance you couldn’t get any healthcare.
