You know what is absolutely the most infuriating thing about all of this? (Excepting the stupidity of starting it in the first place and destroying the existing health care frameworks)
It is that even if Obamacare dies, the tens of thousands (or even hundreds of thousands) of federal and state bureaucrats will likely continue to exist in some way, like some giant headless monster.
All the furniture, computers, buildings, and other things that are part of a large bureaucracy won’t go away either. They are going to find a way to keep them all “on hand” with their “valuable” experience while they try to formulate a follow-up to Obamacare.
Like a one-way ratchet, they will never give up ground they have lost. The last department I can even think of that was actually disbanded was Office of Economic Opportunity in 1981.
Interesting.
Eventually they will run out of money. Then the fun begins.
