In the case of Obamacare, however, the problem isn't so much getting rid of an entitlement program.
Instead, the problem is all the damage Obamacare will inflict upon the infrastructure over the course of the 3 1/2 years before it can be repealed. The insurance industry will be re-structured to service the exchanges -- independent, individual insurance agents will be a thing of the past.
The medical industry will have morphed into a bureaucratic giant dedicated to providing mediocre care in the service of Obamacare -- while the practitioners who remain private will be organized around a strict fee-for-service structure.
Finally, advances in medical technology and pharmaceutical development will have come to a dead halt.
It will be very damaging. I pray we win in ‘14 and ‘16 to make sure to get rid of it.
Exactly — that infrastructure damage it part of why things never get repealed. Stop it NOW.
