Many people forget that even though a majority are against SoetoroCare in name, large numbers of people still support individual provisions that’ll be just as bad.. the stuff about insurance companies being forbidden to deny insurance to anyone bit, for example.
How the hell is an “insurance” company supposed to stay afloat when they’re no longer selling insurance.. correctly defined as protection against future events anyway.. but are forced to offer heavily discounted care for people who are already sick? They’ll need such massive gov’t underwriting that they’ll become Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s in all but name.
This is coming by Romney or Obama, I’m afraid. Romneys version might not be as terrible, but it’ll permanently destroy the future of real conservatism within Republican party. At least with barry, legislators with an R after their names can still call themselves the opposition.
Perhaps the USSC striking it all will trigger a public realization that forcing companies into dependence on gov’t aid to stay afloat merely gives you the worst of both worlds, but I doubt it.
