Sen. Joe Manchin warns that Obamacare could collapse under its own weight if there are continued problems, repeating his push for delaying the
If its so much more expensive than what we anticipated and if the coverage is not as good as what we had, youve got a complete meltdown at that time, the West Virginia Democrat said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNNs State of the Union. This transitional year gives you a chance to adjust the product for the market.
Manchin is pushing legislation with Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) that would delay the individual mandate for another year.
It falls under its own weight if the cost becomes more than we can absorb, Manchin said.
I am 63. My new year resolution is to get healthier from diet changes and improved exercise. The last thing I want is to use or healthcare system.
SHUT UP JOE, you worthless turncoat.
No, Obamacare is sinking in the harbor just after it's release from dry dock. And Skipper Obama is insisting that passengers keep boarding the ship while the vessel is taking on water.
I think you are the first to get that. It seemed like the obvious name for him to me.
Manchin plays his constituents the same way Evan Bayh did in Indiana. Acts morre conservative when he talks to his state, then goes to DC and votes with the progressives. So far, that BS works.
But maybe not always. I was glad Krauthammer asked him to join the other side. Puts Manchin on the line.
Excellent comparison. Let ‘em eat (insert favourite Hawiian food here).
It will collapse!!! Idiots!!!!
"we're going back to the old way. Sue us all. Maybe we'll reconsider if you get your act together."
You can bet your ass it ain’t a can of SPAM.
Manchin’s vote was the deciding vote in passing ObamaCare. Never forget that Obama needed every Democrat vote, and he got them....so Manchin, Pryor, Landrieu, Begich et al each cast the deciding vote for this monstrous program. They should be held fully accountable for the consequences.
They should, they would turn their sullied image around over night but there's a problem: this once honorable industry, which by the way is necessary for any economy to advance, is now run by cronies who don't really understand, let alone have the cojones to support, the free market any more. Greedy consumers, and we all know friends who brag about "sticking it to" an insurance company, are part of the problem too.
The industry is now run by highly educated Ivy League types who wouldn't know the real America or the free market if it bit them on the ass
and they have shown their ignorance here, signing onto this thinking that either A; the lib bureaucrats could design this right and B: Americans would put up with it. It is one of the great industry lessons of our lifetimes

My comment on Politico:
Comrades, do not listen to nay-sayers like Joe Manchin! Obamacare is on track like Soviet locomotive at full speed! As Dear Leader Obama said to AFL-CIO in 2003, single payer is goal, and will take several steps and maybe ten years to become reality. Now it is 2013, and plan is on schedule, as soon as destruction of obsolete so-called “free market” medical insurance corporations is complete. All according to plan, comrades! Soon, single-payer National Socialist healthcare will be reality for all good comrades, like in best years of former Soviet Union! And best of all, with hard work by commissar-navigators in new ACA-NSA-IRS data-hub fusion centers, bad comrades from reactionary “tea party” groups will soon “get minds right,” or no operation or brat kids, or medicine for useless feeders like old granny! Like comrade Zeke Emmanuel says, only good comrades of productive working years need good National Socialist healthcare! For others, take pain pill, like said Dear Leader Obama!
The only way to “fix” it is to throw trillions of dollars at it and if Democrats were in control of congress that is exactly what they would be doing right now. By hook or crook.
Democrats have lost all credibility and the way to get it back is to spend trillions to patch up the monstrosity and make appear to work.
We don’t have trillions of dollars to spare so it would mean massive taxes on the American people and American businesses. The only thing preventing this is the fact that Republicans control the House... for now.
Obama delayed the mandate for everyone who had insurance that was canceled. But he didn't delay it for the people who didn't have insurance previously. How does this make any sense?
Obamacare as DESIGNED to collapse..
It will take huge effort to forestall that it does....
Even then it will collapse into single payer.. as designed..
Communist CREEP... Socialist finagle.... Fascist bait and switch...
Any that do not know that are as dumb as they want to be..
It’s ALL part of “the Plan”... i.e. Cloward-Piven...
Way to go!! Check this out for resources (not my blog ... just a good one I found):
About The Self-Pay Patient
I created The Self-Pay Patient to be a resource for the tens of millions of Americans who are either uninsured, have high-deductible health insurance, or just want to escape from bureaucratic medicine and get their healthcare without either an insurance company or the government being involved in their medical treatment. These Americans are often referred to as self-pay patients, and this blog is intended to help them find affordable health care options in a health care system that is not generally friendly to self-pay patients.
===========================================
The O's are spending tax dollars like water. The endless vacays,
the $100 million African trip to apologize for slavery--
Mrs O's $3,800 p/n Grace Kelly Suite w/ 30 rooms for her
entourage. God knows what Taxpayers paid for room service.
Grace Kelly Suite In Ireland.
=================================================
NRO tallied what taxpayers are paying for the Ohaha's living in the White House: $1.4 billion per year: Air Force One ($181,757 per hour), executive chef ($100,000 per year), three full-time White House calligraphers ($ 277,050 per year for the trio), chief of staff to the presidents dog ($102,000 per year), Ohaha's royal motorcade ($2.2 million).
==========================================
$1.4 BILLION is the current annual cost of the White House just in household expenses, not including US policy operations for which the WH exists-- administered by some 900 parasites--- policy staff recruited by Ohaha.
Annually, Ohaha vacations cost $20 million (the low estimate for Ohaha's last Hawaii vacay was $4 million, but the true cost is probably five times that); the first familys yearly health-care costs are $7 million; more than $6 million is spent on the White House grounds each year. Transportation costs were a staggering $346 million last year.
The O' kids were flying aroound to the Bahamas and Sun Valley.....while US kids were shut out of the WH supposedly due to sequestration Secret Service cutbacks. The O's galivanting teen daughter was spotted in NY---with girlfriends---dining at the pricey Buddakan, scoffing up rock shrimp, edamame dumplings, short ribs, lobster fried rice........replete w/ five Secret Service guards dining nearby, while students her age were denied access to the people's house.
Mrs O wore her pricey diamond bangles sat a DNC fund-raiser last Sept, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raised big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor." Her diamond Gothic cuff was priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com
