Obamacare's problem: You can't fix stupid
CNBC ^ | 03/14/2014 | Jake Novak

Posted on 03/14/2014 7:31:37 AM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

It was supposed to be the most burning crisis in America: the 30 million, 40 million, or even 50 million of us, (depending on which politician was screaming the loudest), who didn't have health insurance and were clamoring to get it in order to avoid everything from bankruptcy to death.

So the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress, gave us the Affordable Care Act. And they did it with such urgency that they didn't care that not a single Republican in Congress voted for it, and they didn't care that it took legislative chicanery to pass it despite the Democrat super-majority. Nope, the millions of uncovered Americans desperate for affordable health insurance just couldn't wait any longer.

KEYWORDS:
All Obama and his thieves did was take advantage of "stupid voters" to get his whack radical agenda passed...next case.

Never start vast projects with half-vast notions.

There never was need for “universal” health coverage. This supposedly exalted goal is an intrusion upon the privacy of individuals and the sanctity of human relationships, which artificially distorts many positions of trust. Adoption of this “one size fits all” philosophy utterly destroys any probability of continued advancement in the frontiers of medical knowledge and technology, by freezing out the innovations and refusing to make exceptions for special instances where the greater good is sacrificed to the goal of “equality” of delivered services.

“Equality” is the most specious of objectives when it is applied rigorously and without regard for the individual differences that exist naturally between two or more persons. And especially so when it is determined that some are more “equal” than others.

A lot of Stupid voters will wake up this October with Skyrocketing healthcare premiums. Even with Obama, supposedly suspending the rules (though most Democratic states NOT complying with him), rates can't help going up because the numbers do not support it.

Democrats will be running from Obamacare more and more until there is a panic stricken rout.

Obamacare frames the perfect picture of disasterous liberal ideology. Liberalism is the worst enemy of America!

stupid writer.

He first points out accurately all the failures of Obamacare and argues against its implicit infringement of freedom.

The argues that people are stupid for not giving up their freedom.

15.7 of 300 million people = 47.7 million uninsured, WHICH IS EXACTLY THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED BEFORE DEATHCARE!

We are spending trillions to get less health care , while the regime spends trillions more to administer it.

Welcome to Acirema. Is your flag upside down yet? If not now, when?

Jake Novak is missing important stuff here... The 'people who didn't sign up' aren't stupid.

Stupid he says?

The poor had the perfect health care system. It cost ZERO dollars, had the best doctors and was available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and didn't require an appointment.

Hospital Emergency rooms.

Hospitals loved it (when they weren't grousing about their "jesus cases") Hospital emergency rooms charged $8,000 for a 'visit' - knowing they wouldn't collect a dime - and wrote it off their taxes. The 'poor' got a dose of antibiotic for their runny nose and everyone went home happy...

So Jake Novak it's the hysterical women and insurance salesmen who wrote 'Obamacare' who are stupid. And the liberal elites who are so out of touch with real people that the term 'clueless' doesn't scratch the surface.

If Jake Novak has any doubts he needs to go to a hospital emergency room in a poor area and OPEN HIS EYES.
