The President’s faux fix

I listened to the news conference (which sounded like a commercial for the Affordable Care Act) and almost gagged. At last, some of that transparency we were promised.

Remember when Obama lied about his mother losing her health insurance? He told some more whoppers today. If insurance was as bad as he says, the media would be interviewing these people daily to shore up his argument. I doubt that he's been persuaded by citizens losing their insurance, or even Democratic politicians who have to run in 2014. He promised in the short run the insurance companies would have all these new customers because people would be forced to buy it thereby making huge profits, and I'm guessing that's where the pressure is coming from.

President Obama has told Obamacare’s critics that the law is “settled” and “here to stay.” But today he is saying he’ll violate the law to put a Band-Aid on it for another year. That’s in addition to the one-year delay in the employer mandate and numerous other “fixes” and delays.
