Chicago Paper – Scrap Obamacare Monstrosity!

Posted by Tina

According to Breitbart Big Journalism the Presidents hometown paper, The Chicago Tribune, is throwing in the towel on the unaffordable care act, AKA Obamacare:

Bottom line: Let’s delay and rewrite this ill-conceived law. Congress need not start from scratch. Lawmakers can build on what all of us have learned from three years of painful trial and error. Three years of attempting, but failing, to make this clumsy monstrosity work for the American people.

They had a few choice words to describe the painful trial and error:

Democrats strong-armed Obamacare into law three years ago. Now they’re busy flouting it.
The mandate that employers provide insurance next year or pay a penalty, as the law requires? Delayed for at least a year.

The law’s dictate that people applying for federal subsidies to buy insurance provide proof that they’re eligible for the government aid? Scaled back.

Sharp limits on Americans’ out-of-pocket costs for health care? Suspended for a year.

Providing members of Congress and more than 10,000 staff members with federal health care subsidies that the law does not allow? Done, via a deal brokered by President Barack Obama.

And on and on.

Republicans have been saying, “Repeal and Replace” since the beginning. They knew this law was a pig in a poke. Would anybody on the Dem side listen…No!

A rewrite would be more painful than helpful and result in another monstrosity.

Grab what is smart and useful…like precondition acceptance requirements…insurance sales across state lines…and scrap the crap. Chalk it all up to an expensive but valuable lesson…then scrap the idiots that wrote and passed the da*n thing.
