Let me add this up again…

As expected “The Affordable Care and Patient Protection Act” is imploding before our very eyes. The stories of folks being dropped from their existing plans or receiving radical premium increases can no longer be ignored or explained away by “School Boy Jay Carney“. Adding insult to injury, the web site designed to bring it all to you for the bargain price of nearly $650 million dollars, (paid to a company with one of the worst track records in the tech industry), has crashed for the second time in just two weeks. Now I know there will be the sycophant naysayers who choose to go down with this flooding ship, but I would direct you to the President and his own propagandizing apologists Axelrod and Emanuel, as the language they are now using sounds absolutely nothing like “You can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan, and your premiums will go down.“. I think it’s more than fair to say, these were lies of epic proportions.

Inevitably “Obamacare” will fail. Not because I want it to, but rather because it was and is an academic and ideological attempt to usurp nearly one sixth of a free market economy, for use within an entrenched and growing entitlement state, and for which there was never/ever a tangible funding mechanism. It is simple second grade math people. Make no mistake however, what is obviously a monumental failure today, was actually meant to be just that. In his remaining time in office, the President of the United States will reframe the argument and use every last bit of his political capital to bring about “single payer” as a “final solution” to the very healthcare issues his own signature law exacerbated to their current levels. This was always and remains a war of ideologies with no end in sight. Buckle up…
