Obozocare a ‘plane-wreck’ for administration…
| CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeff Toobin: “This still looks like a train wreck for the Obama Administration, and it may also be a plane wreck. This entire law is now in serious trouble. It also seems that the individual mandate is doomed. I mean, Anthony Kennedy spent much of this morning talking about if we strike down the individual mandate, how should we handle the rest of the law? Now, it is less clear that they are going to strike down the whole law. There does seem to be some controversy in the court about that. Certainly there are some members of the court, Antonin Scalia, Justice Alito, who want to strike down the entire law, but it seemed almost a foregone conclusion today that they were going to strike down the individual mandate, and the only question is does the whole law go out the window with it?”
Whitfield: “Oh, my goodness. Okay, so I have got about 20 seconds or so left. How might this impact arguments later on this afternoon, Jeff?” Toobin: “Well, it’s hard to imagine how things could be going much worse for the Obama Administration, but now they’re going to be dealing with the Medicaid portion, and they may decide to get rid of that as well.” |

“Oh my goodness” she says? At least Toobin is playing it straight.
The status quo of health care is far preferable to Obozocare. Nobody is being “sent out on the ice.”
When it comes to Obozo and the leftists, EXACTLY that type of mindset is pervasive. These are egomaniacal population-control freaks. They want to control all aspects — the behavior, the size, the lifespan, and the growth rate of the population.
Medical costs should never have gotten to where they are in the first place. It’s a vicious circle with the ridiculously overpriced insurance companies along with ambulance-chasing lawyers as a big part of the problem. Again, a vicious circle. If enough people got wise to the sickening scam of the insurance racket — where all the money flows one-way — then the free market would take care of the rest. Eventually medical costs would become sustainable even without health insurance, and health insurance would be priced as a viable alternative. This is how it used to be.
Just look at how high some pharmaceuticals are in the wake of widespread “prescription coverage.” Those prices are incredible and should not be sustainable in a proper capitalistic system. Things are too rigged nowadays. The medical industry sticks it to the insurance companies because they can, the insurance companies stick it to the consumer because they are currently getting away with it bigtime, and the trial lawyers are leeching off both.
But the Obozocare bill fixes absolutely nothing, is a heavy-handed destroyer of basic human liberties, is dehumanizing in the extreme, and makes things so mucked-up and radically totalitarian-ended that it’s shudder-inducing.
