Today? "You can KEEP your insurance, PERIOD." Tomorrow? "You can KEEP your DOCTOR, PERIOD."
This whole mess hasn't even begun to play out yet. President Obama made TWO prescient promises... promises he knew he couldn't/wouldn't/didn't plan to keep.
We're debating the first as if it's the end of the ****ing world. It ain't. It's a lie which will be a mountain that could have been a molehill had those in charge of the message decided early on to be more transparent. Would that it could. I can only hope that the last living person on Earth chisels that into a rock before she dies...
"Would that it could."
Come January, MILLIONS of people are going to want to go see "THEIR" Doctor, now that their plan has changed... now that their plan entitles them to so much more than they paid for before...
What are they going to say when they find out that DR. SMITH doesn't participate in their plan? The DOCTOR they've seen for DECADES doesn't participate, and might as well now be as far from them as France?
New debacle.
What's the short-term answer for THIS one? January to November is a LONG time... and NOVEMBER is when the MID-TERM Elections happen.
We're spending all our waking hours arguing about insurance WHICH ISN'T HEALTH CARE and in less than 47 DAYS everyone's going to start scheduling appointments...
47 Days.

Amazing how the smartest people on earth didn't already know this.
And this...
"It's a lie which will be a mountain that could have been a molehill
had those in charge of the message decided early on to be more transparent."
... wasn't possible. He had to lie to the American people in order to get it passed.
Oh, and the increased premiums, can't keep your doctor, and the number of hospitals who will no longer in the network are just scratching the surface of all the problems obamacare will inflict. People are going to be pissed.
Dear Leader has been exposed in a very noticeable way to be a liar. If gun legislation were to be introduced, and he said "Under this legislation, you can keep your old guns," who but a fool would believe him?
You primitives ain't seen nothing yet. And we're going to sit back and enjoy your pain.
