Later this morning, Obama will be addressing Democrat and national populace concerns over ObamaCare and its draconian burden on privately held insurance. If he proposes any solutions, know this (a prediction): his solutions will involve subsidies for some Americans, limited to a set period, perhaps a one or two year time frame. Or, he could simply pretend that things are not as bad as they seem, and announce business as usual. Whatever he proposes, look for the unspoken agenda and typical Obama "double speak."
___________________________________________
Update: We are being told that Obama will allow folks to keep the coverage that has already been cancelled. If he takes this path, it will give him the ability, then, to blame the insurance industry for not reinstating these policies as if "reinstatement" is an easy process that does not involve state's approval and compliance with the new ObamaCare law. Understand, these policies are already gone. They would have to be rewritten, newly negotiated with doctors and hospitals, and approved by state insurance commissioners, nation wide. Further, if he does not put a time limit on this solution or allow for increased - drastically increased - rates, this solution will undermine the basic financial principles of ObamaCare.
____________________________________________
In short, his "solutions" will not be existential to ObamaCare nor systemic in nature. To counter this charge would put Obama in a poor light with regard to GOP opposition; it would give the appearance that "they" are right, and he is wrong. As a result, do not expect Obama to admit anything that does not give him plausible deniability . . . . . . . period.
Temporary solutions, more money, the shifting of blame, continued accusations against his opposition and typical Obama double-speak will be the implicit themes of this day.
