These complaints are coming, hypocritically, from one of the people who created Obamacare. He never raised these issues several years ago, before Obamacare was passed. He waited until after the 2012 election to raise these issues. He has no one but himself to blame for the mess that he created.

[Jim Robinson]

Idiots. The entire mess is unconstitutional. Repeal it before it repeals us!

[colorado tanker]

This jerk has been the engineer driving the train, so I guess he knows where it’s going.

[grobdriver]

You've never given me data. You only give me concepts, frankly," Baucus told Sebelius.

But you voted for it, didn't you.

Schmuck.

[shhrubbery!]

"Baucus ... a key architect of the healthcare law, said he fears people do not understand how the law will won't work."

There, fixed.

" Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution. " James Madison Federalist No. 39, January 1788

No one with a brain can only NOW suspect that the whole “Obamacare” scam is or EVER WAS a workable and rational plan for Health Reform.

How anyone can be surprised at how abjectly ruinous the idea is, is beyond me!

[Billthedrill]

Well, Max, buddy, I guess now you know what’s in it. BTT.

[ScottinVA]

This drunken fool was one of Obamacare’s prime proponents. Fine time to tell us all it’s FUBAR, Baucus.

[Cicero]

I wonder if any of them have read it yet?

[freekitty]

My guess he is not really concerned; unless it is to distract.

Sen. Max Baucus was the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a chief architect of ObamaCare. Baucus inserted language in the ObamaCare bill to provide services and benefits, including Medicare, for a group of Montana miners exposed to asbestos.

So, Baucus was a chief creator of ObamaCare and now he is suddenly saying it’s a coming trainwreck. Just try to imagine how the corrupt MSM would be screaming if this were a Bush/Republican bill and it was falling apart and destroying the economy along the way.

[magellan]

Pelosi was right. They had to pass the bill to find out what is in it.

That said, this is by design. It is cause and effect. It is reaping what one sows. Overly complicated, poorly designed legislation results in overly complicated, poorly designed law which results in overly complicated, poorly designed bureaucracy which results in overly complicated, poorly designed policy, which results in overly complicated, poorly designed programs.

[Mr. K]

the law was not MEANT TO work
it was meant to fail, and cripple insurance companies, so that we all end up in single-payer (100% government health care)

[loveliberty2]

Back in 2010, one of Baucus's defenses of Obama's policies was, Baucus: "It is a shift, a leveling . . . ."As will all such schemes by governments throughout history, coercive "leveling" (coercive redistribution of the earnings of hard working citizens) never works, but always destroys liberty.

America's liberty and prosperity for over 200 years was based on another idea, for the earnings of hardworking citizens were protected from the coercive hand of government by a written Constitution which did not allow the Baucuses of the world such "taking" power. Hear Samuel Adams:

"Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which ought to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice.” - Samuel Adams

And:

“The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional.” - Samuel Adams

[SusaninOhio]

The rats are trying to distance themselves already.

All the while the head rat blames the Republicans (who control everything in DC, according to Obama when he is looking for a way out of his mess).

[LyinLibs]

This is the part where the TRAITOR congressmen pretend they didn’t “really” want to vote for Obamacare, but had to.

They also pretend nobody owns TV’s during primary season.

[Amendment10]

Am I seeing DC socialists trying to turn their "remedy," Obamacare, for a crisis that DC socialists manufactured, into another government-manufactured crisis?

[Timber Rattler]

What a lying, hypocritcal POS...he wrote the healthcare bill, bullied CBO into lowering its score, and then denied ever reading it, saying it was a "waste of time."

Scum.

[RetiredTexasVet]

If I remember correctly, Baucus has a perfect cover for his vote and subsequent critique of the implementation ... he was drunk!! I remember distinctly that he was incoherent and an absolute embarrassment to the Democrats (if that is possible).
