The program will fail on the weight of its outrageously expensive requirements, or it will remain in place but only with the addition of much higher penalties and more threats of actions against those who won’t willingly overpay for their health insurance. We don’t believe the latter will be tolerated by the American people so we are left with the former.

I wish this were true, but all the evidence says it's not true.

Light bulbs are a good example. A stupid law was passed. The Pubs vowed to repeal it. They didn't and now 40, 60, 75 watt incandescent bulbs are being replaced with LED bulbs that are 10X more expensive, or fluorescent bulbs that are more expensive.

obamacare will not be repealed. The leftists love fascism. A growing majority of people think you can get something valuable at someone else's expense. As more and more problems come up with this idiotic healthcare system the solution will be more govt control and in the end Medicare will be morphed into a program covering everyone.

The Pub mantra that the system will collapse because of it's poorly conceived economics is wrong because we no longer have a market based economy.

A friend has several rental homes. When people leave now, they take all of the light bulbs.
