The three burials of ObamaCare. Twice before we've tried to kill it. This time, let's use a silver bullet!
ObamaCare costs more if you're married. Oh, isn't this just lovely! Now we've got the bureaucrats providing incentives for people to get divorced...
Oops, there goes another ObamaCare promise... Dave Carter at Ricochet speaks to the Obama voter. His lede:
By chance, have you had enough yet? Many of you have either lost your jobs or you've had your hours reduced. Millions of you are seeing your insurance policies go up in a fireball before your very eyes, like a KISS concert only instead of singing, "I Stole Your Love," the front man now sings, "I Stole Your Heath Care."If you set the bar low enough ... even the government can make it over. We find out now that the administration's goal for healthcare.gov is for 80% of people attempting to buy insurance to actually make it through. Worse, we find out that this goal has just been set – before that, there were no goals. As I read this piece, I was trying to imagine Jeff Bezos' reaction upon discovering that someone working at Amazon had set the bar that low...
But I don't want you to feel gullible. I think, under the circumstances, something approaching totally bamboozled would be understandable, ... or snookered, or hoodwinked, or hornswoggled, swindled, fleeced, scammed, deluded, stung, bent, folded, spindled and mutilated perhaps, broken into tiny dehumanized pieces to be redesigned into an academic's experimental idea of a perfect society certainly, … but not gullible.
In what became the longest instance of political foreplay in contemporary American history, the President whispered utopian nothings in your ear, caressing your hopes while dreamily promising that millions of people would get something for nothing and you wouldn't have to pay for it. You could say he was being coy, but that would be on the order of saying that the Titanic took on just a little added moisture.
Toe the line, you shlubs! The Washington, D.C. insurance commissioner questioned the viability of Obama's proposed “fix”. One day later, he's out of a job. Don't you dare question The One!
Rope.
Tree.
Congresscritter.
Some assembly required.
