Krauthammer on Healthcare.gov: 'All hell's going to break loose'
FoxNews ^ | 1/22/2014

Posted on 01/23/2014 11:46:36 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Charles Krauthammer predicted Wednesday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that "all hell's going to break loose" if the administration can't fix the problems with the Healthcare.gov website by mid-March.

"Right now the insurers are guessing at the subsidy, so all of this is on the honor system and it can be wildly off," Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor said. "If they undershoot, the insurers are going to go bust. If they overshoot, the government is going to be stuck with a huge bill."

Well they are all correct. The system is designed to fail. Single payer will be the “only option” in the next 2-3 years.

If Kruthhammer’s prediction of the ACA blowing up (the purpose of their plan all along) by the end of March and in conjunction with the organized citizens uniting and marching (American Spring) on DC on May 16, 2014, this current government thugacracy will likely take some sort of action before hand to quell both. No, I don’t have a crystal ball but nor am I blind.

Yup.

” Hell “ ain`t gonna break loose.

The Statist will NEVER allow their plans to fail, no matter how much more it will cost. Money pit? No problem , we own the printing press.

Path to a true neo-marxist state to save their obamacare? So be it.

Yes, and every thread about Obamacare is guaranteed to have at least a dozen comments that state that, as though it's something that's never occurred to anyone before.

One thing that is rarely stated around these parts, is that repeating "single payer" like a daily religious mantra, will only help to ensure that it becomes reality. A self-fulfilling prophecy, if you will.

If every Freeper posted, "over my dead body!", there's a strong chance it would go the other way. You simply can't win when half your team chants, "we're doomed", all day and night.

Nope.

That might have been their original intent, but they’ve bungled it so badly the vast majority of Americans want the federal government to have NOTHING to do with health care. As FReeper HiTechRedneck put it so well, they wanted “a soft fail, not a spectacular fall off the edge of the aircraft carrier fail.”

on the damn website. That's the LEAST of the problems.

It's the most visible, and easiest to attck.

Wasn't it unpaid income taxes that brought down Al Capone?

Unpaid taxes seemed to be the least of his worries, and turned out to be his most most vulnerable angle.

All Hell is going to break loose?

I doubt it. Obama has achieved the defacto nationalization and politicization of our nations health care system, and we are no longer a nation of freedom.

If you are dying and want to prolong your life, you want to be a leftist. As a conservative you will get no end of life care. The left will. Thats what rationing health care will mean. Death Panels are exactly what Obamacare will be about.

If you recall, about 70% of the public opposed ObamaCare before it was passed, yet we have it.
