The Endless Debacle of ObamaCare

Old ObamaCare: "We have to pass it so you know what's in it." New ObamaCare: "Never mind. Executive orders. Asterisks. Whatever."

No one can remember a policy disaster quite like this. Every day brings multiple new bad-news headlines. We could compare the sudden and seemingly permanent debacle of ObamaCare to the way the insurgency in Iraq sapped President Bush’s second-term popularity, but there are obvious differences between the two situations: We invaded Iraq after a long public debate, and after the policy was authorized by Congress on a bipartisan vote, whereas ObamaCare was rammed through Congress on a party-line vote with the Democrat Speaker of the House saying she had to pass the bill so we could know what was in it.
Democrats own ObamaCare exclusively, and so its failure — which is even more self-evident than was the failure of Bush’s Iraq policy — threatens to inflict permanent political damage. A few headlines:
Why liberals are panicked about Obamacare
— Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post
Befuddled Central Planner in Chief
Discovers Complexity Of Real Life
— Ed Driscoll
‘Fairy Tale’ Continues as Obama
Proposes Extralegal Obamacare Fix
— Daniel Halper, Weekly Standard
How Can Dems Mandate Policy Renewals If
State Insurance Commissioners Won’t Let Them?
— The Lonely Conservative
As Joe Curl says, Obama will try to turn this around by blaming insurance companies and Republican opposition for the failure of his policy and, at some point, the liberal media will line up in lockstep to parrot the Democrat talking points. Yet all the White House spin and all the media sycophancy in the world cannot hide the abject failure of ObamaCare, and Democrats will pay the political price next November.
Liberal Logic™ 2003: "9/11 was an inside job! Fire can't melt steel!" Liberal Logic™ 2013: "Insurance companies sabotaged ObamaCare!"

Note to Democrats: Denial is not an effective political strategy.

I always loved the “fire can’t melt steel” theory. How in the hell do liberals think steel is made?

Unicorns use their special horn to form steel into whatever they need……….

Except that Mary Landrieu’s political future hardly has the poetry of Othello. I think that the farce is strong with this one.

The insurance commissioners are doing the right thing in protecting their states and the companies that operate in their states. I guess Obama didn’t even understand that this might happen and circumvent his try at putting blame on the insurance companies. He’ll probably blame the “insurance industry” instead.
