nobamacare is collapsing. Drip, drip, drip...

Too bad that after it collapses we’ll be stuck with single payer.

Wonder if that will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Are y’all pissed off yet?

(May 16, 2013) Emanuel plans to shift city retirees to new federal health care plan

[Paleo Conservative]

I don’t get it. How is this disrespectful of Obama?

If my little city comes up with a stupid program, I can go to the department or city council meeting and scream at them. I can do the same for any stupid state programs. Stupid federal programs? I’d have to travel to D.C..
There’s a reason they make everything federal. It’s harder to scream at them. Try calling the VA. A recording comes on and says thanks for calling and then hangs up. They make it hard for you to complain.

***The big benefit to moving workers into the state marketplaces is that it shifts the burden of paying for health care from the city to the federal government.***

No, Sarah, not the federal government. The American taxpayer.
