Amazing.
This was done, by the way, AFTER the budget passed--the budget funding the lawless actions of the Clown.
got fascism?
The founders of this Republic NEVER INTENDED for the executive branch or its agencies to CREATE law.
The founders intended for the executive branch to ENFORCE existing law.
The Clown makes up law as time passes to suit the Clown’s fancy.
Democrats could see the tar and feather buckets on the way to Capitol Hill.
This isn’t a law it’s a clusterphuck.
\
The rules change daily.
Repeal is the only real answer.
Even while reporting the cluster, the Monica Media is promoting the law.
Easily coulda been part of the deal.
Surprised President Ineffectual is doing anything at all - isn’t he supposed to be in Hawaii, resting up from all his confused and pointless inactivity?
Oh noes...Ted Cruz was right!
If this is true, where now are individuals going to find bare bones health insurance now?
This is obviously a ploy to avoid a 2014 slaughter.
If you like your Democrat, you can keep your Democrat.
What my country has become just makes me sick.
Obama through the Health Care industry stooges under the bus? Imagine my complete lack of surprise.
Dictatorship?
And Congress just sits back and lets him get away with it.
Where the hell is Congress?
Obama’s world view: So let it be written, so let it be done. We have our own pharaoh.
The BO administration has decided that people who had their health plans canceled could qualify for a "hardship exemption" from the individual mandate under Obamacare. But, gee, only a measley half-million people who had their plans canceled have not yet found other coverage. Everybody else is hunky-dory. So which is it? Do they know? Are they lying about both situations? What about all those people who were uninsured to begin with, supposedly the beneficiaries of this exercise? Are they covered? Or no?
And
we no longer have a law, or a set of regulations. The law and regs are whatever the Obamoids say they are on any given day. So if you go by the rules on one day, next day, you're a sucker because the rules have been relaxed -- changed. The insurance companies are reaping what they've sown by supporting this total fiasco. We had the best medical care in the world and they are well on their way to destroying it.
So far, there are more than 20,000 pages of regulations.
Now, on top of all that, we have four improvised "amendments" to the act:
1. Delay of employer mandate.
2. Allowing insurance companies to re-issue cancelled policies.
3. Extending due dates and pre-dating coverage.
4. What amounts to an elimination of the Individual Mandate, plus a reversal on the mandatory coverage requirement.
Just what is the law now, today? And what will it be tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow?
This whole affair is a clear demonstration of what happens when incompetence is granted unchecked power.
So the full-on flail is finally here.
This is even worse than I EVER would have imagined.
Enrollment must just still be AWFUL, and dropping off rather than ramping up as they had hoped.
As Quinn would say, “Liberalism has now generated the exact opposite of its stated intent.” Come January 1, there will be more uninsured as a result of this law than before the law, even including Medicaid.
Anyone wanna bet on March 31st, or even December 31st of 2014?
Analogous to the wonderful “monkey with a grenade” image of Bath House as military strategist, the new image is one of Bath House as phlebotomist, frantically puncturing the patient in search of a drop of blood.
Just yesterday evening, at our local good-ol-boys round table salon and tête-à-tête in our local country propane and hay store, we were reviewing possible future scenarios regarding the devolution of obamacare and obama. I posited the following:
1. That if the Republicans would just twiddle their thumbs pretty much about everything for next 3-4 months, obamacare would become so unraveled that the Democrats would be forced to beg the Republicans to save them, and that regardless of any legislative changes that might thereby result in a bipartisan fashion, obama would veto it all, preferring to see the complete destruction of the medical system and the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as the total destruction of the Democrat Party for at least two generations, rather than admit he was wrong about something.
2. That it was highly likely that obama would soon totally panic over the chaos wrought by obamacare and descend into utter lawlessness by attempting to govern completely by diktat, and that therefore there was also a reasonable probability that obama’s attempted dictatorship would eventually become so severe that Congress would be forced to initiate impeachment.
It would appear that this second prediction is already starting to come true.
