Someday, the shooting starts.
Renovating a house isn't necessarily fatal.
Whoa! Jonathan here gets his Kool-Aid in a continuous intravenous drip!
Can anybody put this into perspective? Is the author a screaming liberal or is this fair and balanced reporting? This is the first positive thing I’ve read about Democrat-care.
Q: Who built Obamacare?
A: Obama built that. Period.
I knew that when 0bama won in 2012, that was the last chance to undo 0bamacare. It has become so entrenched in the fabric of our country it cannot be rooted out. Romney at least said he’d repeal it. From now on, we slide down the slippery slope to the sludge bucket of single-payer.
Whether or not this is what a nation of shallow thinking LIVs wanted is irrelevant; it’s what they voted for and what they got.
Obamacare will continue to stumble forward and the complicit GOP leadership will do nothing to stop or even slow it. The next shoe to drop will be this fall when millions covered by group plans get dropped. We can hope that the voters will notice before the elections.
Take this with a HUGE grain of salt...

Federal implementation documents project that “most” employer health care plans will need to be canceled and replaced with plans developed under the exchanges. Since the vast majority of people get their health care through employer health insurance and employer requirements have been delayed a year, what will happen in late 2014?
When will either the costs of health insurance plans start to skyrocket? Or will the cost sharing (i.e. subsidy from the federal government to health insurance company's start?)
Similarly, when will doctors start saying they will not take new medicaid patients whose number has been swollen with the exchanges? When will the IRS start penalizing individuals and garnisheeing their earnings when they fail to pay the fines for not having health insurance.
Those are the things that will kill public support. However, by the time those real issues are felt by enough people it could be impossible to unroll the ObamaCare regulations as too many people will be “hooked” both from the standpoint of insurance companies, medical providers, and individuals.
This is a really bad law, but it may or may not be too late to kill it. The real question will be how many negative headlines doe it get between now and the November elections.
Don’t insurance companies stand to win hundreds of billions of government dollars from Obamacare?
Would they let it go away quickly and easily if so?
We have a lot of passion here, but they have a lot of lobbying money.
“There will be no glorious triumph of Obamacare, no cinematic score playing in the background, and no concession of defeat by the law’s opponents. That’s not how politics and public policy work.”
Well, somebody needs to tell Boehner and every moron RINO that, because they are under the mistaken impression that law is simply going to implode or some such nonsense.
Yet another article illustrating that Ted Cruz was right....
Why did I waste my time reading this?
Chait probably also believed that the Soviet Union was never going to collapse, and that 100 million murders by Communists were just a temporary "glitch".
Democrats never intended for Obama Care to work. They knew they were incapable of running anything that large, and they knew the Republicans were aware of their incompetence. The Democrats were sure the Republicans would stop them, thus leaving them without the responsibility of running something they were incapable of running but leaving them with the issue. What they didn’t realize was that the Republicans have become just as incompetent as are the Democrats.
Never forget that Democrats are Communists and Communists are ends justify the means liars. Democrats are masters of the lie, the double deal, the scam, the rigged election, and any trick they can use to stay in power, but they aren’t capable of running a legitimate business enterprise such as our country’s health care system and they know it.
When Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barry Soetoro passed Obama Care, they knew it was not only unworkable but it was unconstitutional and the Supreme Court would stop it, leaving the Democrats with the issue (“We tried to provide every American with affordable health care, and the mean old Republicans stopped us”). In the meantime, the Democrats rewarded a loyal Democrat with a billion dollar contract for a website that was never intended to come to fruition. They certainly didn’t expect John Roberts’ Supreme Court to leave them with the responsibility and not the issue.
Republicans stopping Obama Care was the issue the Democrats intended to use to rally their base for the 2012 election, and without it they had to use the Trayvon Martin shooting instead. “If I had a son,” and a few rigged elections barely pulled it off for them in 2012, but they were also counting on the ACA issue for 2014 and 2016, so now what are they going to use to rally their base? Not to worry, they’ll come up with something that’ll infuriate their “low information” electorate.
No, John Roberts didn’t do the Democrats a favor when he didn’t give them an “issue” but instead gave them the responsibility for doing something they were incapable of ever doing and never intended to do in the first place.
But what do I know? I’m just a tax payer.
Chait is dreaming on, thinking that Obamugabe’s Death Panel law is going to continue. She is wrong.
Listen carefully, Miss Chait: we will never, never, never, never, never, never, never stop until that piece of crap unworkable fascist garbage is gone. Out. Kaput. Obamugabe’s Death Panel law will be eliminated.
Your little fantasy is going to end, and freedom will eventually triumph. Guaranteed.
Tech-savvy young people won’t sign up for Obamacare because they don’t need it, don’t want to pay for it, and are terrified of the inevitable identity theft that would come from putting all of your private info onto a flawed site for all to see. And low-info young people won’t sign up because it’s a hassle and it ain’t free.
Upon reading this article, I cannot help but think about whose predictions regarding this law have been more correct; people like this writer or those that oppose the law?
Obamacare sits on a sinkhole.
Are they gonna fix that?
