From the Wall Street Journal, we have this conclusion:
It seems Nancy
Pelosi was wrong when she said "we have to pass" ObamaCare to
"find out what's in it." No one may ever know because the White House
keeps treating the Affordable Care Act's text as a mere suggestion subject to
day-to-day revision. Its latest political retrofit is the most brazen:
President Obama is partly suspending the individual mandate.
The White
House argued at the Supreme Court that the insurance-purchase mandate was not
only constitutional but essential to the law's success, while refusing
Republican demands to delay or repeal it. But late on Thursday, with only four
days to go before the December enrollment deadline, the Health and Human
Services Department decreed that millions of Americans are suddenly exempt.
Individuals
whose health plans were canceled will now automatically qualify for a
"hardship exemption" from the mandate. If they can't or don't sign up
for a new plan, they don't have to pay the tax. They can also get a special
category of ObamaCare insurance designed for people under age 30. . .
. . "
And the
Journal concludes its article with the following challenge to a statement
Obama wants us all to believe:
"The basic
structure of that law is working, despite all the problems," Mr. Obama
added. His make-it-up-as-he-goes improvisation will continue, because the law
is failing.
Editor’s
notes: So, after months of name calling and threats to
the Republican opposition; after having to
listen to the morons at MSNBC call fiscal conservatives “Nazis,” “Racists”
and worse, for even suggesting that ObamaCare was an absolute mess; after all that, 2013 ends – three months into ObamaCare - with all populations qualifying for coverage, exempted from the bill until late in 2014 or sometime in 2015. This includes both the Big Business and Small Business and their 160 million policy holders and, as of two days ago, the remaining "individual" population (some 15 million Americans) - in other words, nearly everybody.
