Interesting.

Still, though, haven’t heard much from the insurance companies.

They should be railing against this - should have been. And they’re not explaining their innocence in a clear way.

They’re at least going to be a major casualty. I don’t see us going back to the old system. And that could be good. But they are not explaining to their customers, as far as I can see, how a basic catastrophic plan is unavailable, and that the penalties for not having any insurance are going to increase by a LOT next year.

Ted Cruz, of course, was right. Anyone who’s worke d for a big system or government knows that you can’t repeal something like this, certainly not if you couldn’t even just say no to it.

The generations that preceded us fought against the people Americans are now voting for.

“haven’t heard much from the insurance companies”

Seems the Obama Administration has had a talk with them saying ‘Nice little company you have here. It’d be a shame if something would happen to it. You WOULD like to participate in the Final Solution, er ah, the Health Care Market wouldn’t you?’

Obama has threatened them to keep quiet (just imagine the IRS and DOJ hell he could rain down on them).

Insurance companies saw $$$ signs so were all too willing to go along. Wouldn’t you love to sell a product everyone HAD to buy?

They won’t say a word to discourage people from signing up. They need people to believe their doors are open wide for business.

Insurers will set their 2015 premiums based on what’s on the books by about mid 2014. If it’s a disaster by mid 2014, the death spiral of rapidly increasing costs will thwart enrollment even further.

They lay down with dogs and they are frantically trying to avoid fleas. They do not want a mandate delay at all.

America has repealed constitutional amendments. A law failing at the speed and magnitude of Obamacare most certainly can be repealed.
