The demise of Obamacare - by market forces?

Posted by blarman 9 years, 5 months ago to Economics

Get to the second update for the interesting part. Basically the market is creating policies to entice the core of the Obamacare target: young, healthy people, leaving it with only the expensive, sick people. Obamacare may disintegrate under its own weight even sooner than anticipated.

Note the comment that Obamacare was designed to fail. In government, nothing succeeds like failure. It will be followed by completely socialized medicine. If at first you don't succeed, expand the program.

Of course Ovomitcare was designed to fail. It was designed as an incremental step to full-blown, single-payer, national healthcare. The Demonscats miscalculated, thinking the vast majority of people would get a taste of socialized medicine and demand more of it, not less, in order to fix its flaws. $5Au expects this demonic plan to backfire on November 4.

"In order to keep the Democrat Party from being exterminated at the polls this year, King Barack I illegally rewrote the law to hold off those individual mandate penalties for people who lost their insurance due to his health-care scheme, exactly the way he promised dozens of times, on camera, that they wouldn’t."

If the Republicans control the House and the Senate I doubt there is much Obama can do about it. The market finds a way.

  Unless they are led by somebody with a hidden agenda (like the past 20 years of R majorities who claimed to want less government.)

    Good point Freedom. Mitch McConnell would probably sell us out for the right deal.

      There's plenty to add to the list, starting with John McCain and Jon Boehner...

        Now I'm getting depressed. You're right.

        Elections are next week. We can only hope (and vote) for positive changes.

        We are the only ones who will make change happen, and it will NOT be by voting in rigged elections.

        I used to think that cheating went on. I know the old joke in Chicago "vote early vote often". I recently have realized that it is worse than that. I honestly think Obama stole the 2012 election. If that is true, and if it happens this time, we have to do more than campaign.

        Turnabout is (continued un)fair play as Bush arguably stole one or two POTUS elections. At the time I thought nothing could be worse than Gore, but in retrospect I think America should just cease electing a president. There has been no one fit for the office (as limited by the constitution) since Andrew Jackson.

        Possibly Calvin Coolidge. I have often wondered what would have happened had he run in 1928. His son died during his first elected term and the country got Herbert Hoover. Hoover was a Republican but almost as bad as FDR. Things definitely changed from that point on.
