"Week after week, month after month," says John Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis, "the Obama administration kept telling us everything's working fine, there's no problem and then they turn on a dime and fire their contractor."

Yes, the proverbial "crisis," that can only be fixed by socialized medicine. To the surprise of no one here.
Obamacare is what Obama, i.e., the "Secretary," says it is. If he says it is single-payer, it will be.
Who will oppose him?
It is not narrative but a picture from Obamacare advertising for enrollees.
Congress? He don't need no steenkin' Congress!
