Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he shares colleagues’ concerns that the Affordable Care Act could become a “train wreck” if it’s not implemented properly.

Reid warned that people will not be able to choose health insurance plans on government health exchanges if federal authorities lack the resources to set them up and educate the public.

This 30% tax on business will put many out of business...lawyers will sue...costs will be in the trillions...doctors will quit and go underground...cash only...private hospitals...welcome to a third world country...

Yet our MSM pundits still gaggle & drool at an Obama event....?

Ever been to a "Special Education" class for the hopelessly retarded kids?

[DPMD]

Maybe he can dip into his obscene personal fortune, money collected above and beyond his salary as a Senator, to help the train wreck.

[Recompennation]

Yes yes! Granpa Munster let her crash

Yep, even though this nearly 3,000 page bill has already generated over 20,000 pages of regulations and added nearly 200 new taxes the expected disaster isn’t the fault of the Mastermind. Instead, it is because someone else isn’t capable of proper implementation and if they do implement it properly, then it is your fault for not paying enough in taxes!

No matter the result of centralized, top down, iron fisted control, the Mastermind will ALWAYS deflect blame. If at all possible, the Mastermind will direct that blame to their opponents. Heck, we would have utopia if we just didn’t have opponents standing in the way of progress! If the commoner doesn’t like being controlled, then we simply need to “educate” them until they do like it. What has history shown us as the methodology to “educate” those that do not bend their will to the Mastermind’s dictates?

[pfflier]

federal authorities lack the resources to...educate the public.

Does that just sound Orwellian enough?

[Cheerio]

When will the “No Balls” in Congress stand up to this? For Gods sake It’s our country going down the shitter here!!! Hello, Anyone home?????

The GOP-e Leadership - so called - in the US House will be the first to tell all us that they have voted to repeal Obamacare at least (fill in blank) times, but "Oh whoa is us - you rubes only gave us control of 1/2 of 1/3 of the Corruption District, so we cannot make it happen!!"

But what did they do when
1) multiple Continuing Resolutions,
2) multiple Debt Ceiling negotiations,
3) sequestration 4) extending the "Bush" tax cuts.

And what was the GOP-e Leadership's Position when they held a Royal Flush in their hands?

Boehner: House Will Fund Obamacare in CR; Won't Risk 'Shutting Down the Government'

I personally am way past supporting anyone in the GOP at the national level.

[Claud]

And don’t all spending bills originate in the House? So they could...ya know....cut off the money if they wanted to?

I ask the question because I’m not up on all the bits of the Constitution that we selectively ignore nowadays.

FTA: Reid warned the federal government is not spending enough money to implement the law because of Republican opposition to ObamaCare.

It's them wasscawy Rethuglicans again!

[Cheerio]

I ask the question because I’m not up on all the bits of the Constitution that we selectively ignore nowadays.

ABSOLUTELY!!! That is the point I have been trying to make for 2+ years. The GOP runs the House - when those four items come up on the calendar, they are sitting in the cat bird seat. ALL CONTROL OVER WHETHER TO FUND OR NOT RESIDES WITH BONER. HE IS GUTLESS AND WILL NOT DEFUND ANYTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE. And then comes out and hold press congerences bragging about how THEY cur spending!!! What bullsh$%.

[Vaduz]

Indeed set them up and reeducate the public.

[Starstruck]

So predictable. In fact IIRC many here on FR did predict just this.

Not really a prediction. If I said the Sun was going to rise next Tuesday is that a prediction?

We have two choices: (1) the punishingly expensive train wreck currently scheduled, or (2) an even more expensive train wreck with an added cost equal to whatever we dump into that terrible program but no compensatory benefits. I wish I could be confident on where Speaker Boehner would stand.
