Sarah Kliff: 'States Don't Know How They'll Pay for Year Two of Obamacare'

Up a creek without a paddle. That pretty much describes the situation next year facing states that decided to set up their own Obamacare exchanges. And who is reporting this gloomy outlook? None other than one of the biggest media cheerleaders for Obamacare, Sarah Kliff of General Electric Vox.

Kliff delivers the sad news in a story appropriately titled, "States don't know how they'll pay for year two of Obamacare." And since almost all the states in question are Blue states, that also means their finances are already in bad shape. Here is Kliff playing a mournful dirge lamenting a massive Obamacare problem that seems to have taken her by surprise:

I'll laugh if Obama next year begs Congress for MORE money to help the States with ObamaCare.

Sorry Dimocrats.
The states that rejected Obamacare intend to leave those bills unpaid.
The states that embraced it deserve what they get.

The answer will be government-mandated universal health care with the red states subsidizing the blue states - to be fair to those in ‘need.’

And who could have been the slightest bit surprised about financial trouble for a program that could only be balanced using the tricks of

1. Counting ten years of revenue against six years of expenses, and
2. Having to lie entirely about both of those figures.

That's been the goal from the get go. Zerocare was never meant to cover those that weren't. It was the transitional plan until we got to universal, single payer coverage, and it's working great!

After the Feds took the Mustang Ranch Brothel ( outside Reno, NV) away from Joe Conforti for tax evasion, they tried to run it. And sure enough, they had to shut it down ultimately because they were loosing money. Imagine, the biggest whores in the country couldn’t even run a whorehouse! There’s a really good joke here, but I can’t print it!

Then it will be time for CWII. Interesting that the blue side will be separated, on the two coasts.
