The tangled web Barack Obama has woven for himself and the Democratic Party, which passed his signature legislation in lockstep, has left him with no way out. The multiple deceptions inherent in Obamacare are becoming obvious, and because they affect the health, wealth and welfare of every American, they cannot be papered over by a supportive media haze.
The “you-can-keep-your” lies about insurance policies and doctors are only the first stage of deception. Obamacare was sold to the American people on the premise that it would not add “one dime” to the deficit, a lie that was perpetrated with the help of gaming the scoring rules used by the Congressional Budget Office. With Medicaid enrollments soaring and guarantees to make whole health insurance companies who might lose money spiraling into the stratosphere, the ten year cost to taxpayers will be in the realm of the t-word, trillions, if this abomination is not repealed.
Yesterday, the president announced his intention to change what Democrats only weeks ago were calling “settled law” without Congressional authorization, exempting health insurance companies from the mandates in that law. This doesn’t pass the laugh test, as the toothpaste has already been squeezed out of the tube, and even if state insurance commissioners went along (the State of Washington commissioner has already announced he won’t), there is no way that health insurance companies could re-do their paperwork in time for December 15th, the effective deadline for having policies in force on January 1st. The administration that couldn’t make a website work with over three years of time and more money than has ever been spent on a website now expects health insurance companies and insurance commissioners in 50 states to go through complex calculations and review procedures in one month. The very industry Obama recently characterized as “bad apples”is now expected to pull his chestnuts from the fire and perform miracles.
It is already certain that on January 1st, 2014, people with sick and injured family members will be showing up in emergency rooms and told that they have no health insurance coverage. Bankruptcy, lack of treatment, and eventually, fatalities will result. Obama lied and people died. The slogan writes itself.
Congressional Democrats are now really in bind. The “fix” Obama attempted to craft yesterday makes their dilemma even more acute. It is obvious that it won’t work at a practical level, and the attempt to shift blame to the insurance companies for failing to take advantage of the permission Obama gave them won’t offer any cover if Democrats vote against the Upton Bill (which basically puts into law Obama’s changes the way the Constitution requires). Votes against the Upton Bill, or the Landrieu Bill in the Senate, would be a gift to Republican opponents in 2014.
It is obvious that yesterday’s press conference did nothing to stem the panic hitting Congressional Democrats. Some in the leadership have retreated into a fantasy realm.
