IMO, this is good. People will get a good dose of why you DON’T let the federal government to take over your health care. Plus, it will put the lie to their story that Obamacare was going to REDUCE costs. By the time they get through trying to set up these exchanges, they will be wanting to raise taxes yet again.
True, but if you remember, the grand plan was for all of this to be paid for with a VAT, which the TEA Party victory in 2010 upset. Remember how Pelosi and company did not want to pass a budget that year until AFTER the election?
Beware the VAT: Why the consumption tax is possible (August 11, 2010)
Don't be surprised when Obama trots out the VAT again in a year or two as a potential source of new "revenue" to pay for Obamacare.
