Obamacare - Becoming A Joke

The train wreck known as "Obamacare" rumbles down the track. The disastrous signature legislation of the Obama

Administration is in lock step with the disaster that is the Obama Presidency. despite it being the law of the land and has a time table for implementation, the president is circumventing the law and picking and choosing what's to be implemented and what's not. Despite the White House's rhetoric to the contrary, delays in putting key pieces of the law into practice are purely political. The unpopularity of the bill among a large majority of Americans spells trouble for the Democrats in the upcoming mid-term elections.Thus the delays. And now another key provision of Obamacare is on hold until 2015. Conveniently after the mid-term elections. Read More: Out-of-Pocket Caps Delayed .

All these delays point to three observations:

The law is an unworkable disaster. The Federal Government has missed numerous deadlines in getting it off the ground. One third (33%) of the program will be delayed, not only proving the ineptness of the government but that Obamacare is to large and confusing to be effective. The typical government program. 

If it was a good law, there would be no reason for delays of key, unpopular provisions such as the employer mandate.

President Obama

It's not a good law, and the delays are proof the administration knows it.

The law is widely unpopular with the voting public. It has been from the start. A recent Foxnews.com poll shows 57 percent of Americans think the law's implementation "is a joke."
More from Fox News on the matter:

Majorities of Americans think the new health care law is going to increase their medical costs and their taxes -- and add to the federal deficit as well. Those are some of the reasons why voters say -- by a two-to-one margin -- that Congress should keep working on the law.
A Fox News national poll released (last) Thursday also asks voters about how they think Obamacare is being carried out: 31 percent say “it’s going fine,” yet a 57-percent majority feels “it’s a joke.”
In general, just six percent of voters describe Obamacare as “wonderful,” while another 37 percent say “it’s progress.” More voters use negative terms to describe it: 14 percent call it “a step backwards” and 39 percent say “it’s disastrous.”

This is the law that was meant for everybody...including Congress. The health care program Democrats ballyhooed as a great and wonderful thing. It was rammed down our throats in a short period of time and without a single Republican vote. Now Democrats in Congress are stepping back, "Uh, we aren't sure we like this..we want a waiver." Obama steps in, "Granted." Congress gets a break. The American people don't get one. They are held hostage.
Charles Hurt wrote an opinion on this in the  The Washington Times . It's a great read and should be shared. Read More:  Obamacare's Slap in the Public's Face


Congress and President Obama see themselves as a "ruling" class, elitists above the rest of us. They forget, and refuse to acknowledge, that they are servants of the people. Being there is a privilege, not a right.
