Yeah, darned conservative. Trying to force reality on a world that is much happier in a democrat world where words mean what the dems SAY they mean. < /s >

The thing that totally amazes me is that they think just by calling it something people will believe it. How on earth can you possible attach "free market" to Obamacare?

Yes and God knows that profits are EVIL. The only thing that is good and wholesome is unending debt.

From the comments section on Townhall (not mine, I just thought this was good): Everyone thinks that Obama Care is a failure, but in reality, its working flawlessly.

1.They know that a give-away policy, once enacted, will never be repealed. So it doesn’t matter if it “works” or not, the money faucet has been turned on wide-open for ever.

2. Fixing the website is an endless project with an unlimited un-appropriated budget, that people will demand be fixed no matter the cost.

3. The navigators are being set-up, providing a federal footprint in the inner cities. These agencies will expand, hire unqualified people and pay them lavishly, and engage in graft, cronyism and influence peddling.

4. Private insurance and, by extension, free enterprise have been painted as evil. This sets the stage for single payer.

5. The mechanism is in place for complete control over our lives through the cost of “risky” behaviors like eating trans fats or owning a gun. The feds will have your complete medical history on file, with instant updates.

All is working to plan as Dr. Evil says.....

....except that Americans are not believing it, and, most of all, are not buying it.

What? The insured public isn’t enjoying and embracing their transition to nobamadontcare? They must be racist. How dare they resist the dictate of Clown Prince nobama.

Bullet, rope, or electricity? Those are free market choices.

The president's attempt to airbrush history is similar to the commandments on the barn wall in George Orwell's "Animal Farm." One day the commandment "All Animals are Equal" mysteriously appears rewritten with a new qualifier beside it, as if it had been there all along: "All animals are equal -- but some animals are more equal than others."

Been a long time since I read Animal Farm, but IIRC eventually all of the animal's rights are whitewashed over, replaced by a single dictum: "Napoleon is always right".

Obama seems to have the right to change, redefine and selectively enforce the ACA. He can delay action, subsidize or exclude groups from compliance, to the point where Obamacare is what he says it is. Eventually no no rationalizations, clarifications or excuses will be needed, because "Napoleon is always right"
