Her status update caught my eye, but only because I'm used to seeing this friend write about her role in the latest play at the community theatre, or post about something hilarious one of her kids said.  She doesn't post much of anything political, and I can't remember ever seeing her complain.  But this post was different. Kelly had just received a new premium quote to cover her family, which includes her husband and their five children. 

In order to get young people to buy the Obamcare Exchange health insurance plans, the Obama Administration dictated to insurance companies a new deadline of December 24, Christmas Eve, for policies to be effective January 1. At the same time, over the weekend the President went through a botched PR rollout of his own, enrolling in the DC Exchange. These games will continue, and probably become worse, once the law is in full effect next week.

What have we done?  Let me start by saying that I do not believe we didn't have problems with the health care system in America prior to ObamaCare - we did - big problems. But, what I want this post to highlight is what we have done, in order to solve the problems.

On today’s edition of the FreedomCast, Charles Cooke joins me to discuss the numbers game that the Obama administration is playing with ObamaCare enrollment, how expanding Medicaid may sound compassionate but has not proven to enhance health or longevity for its recipients, and

During the Obamacare sales pitch we heard from President Obama that "If you like your insurance you can keep it," but Americans have been finding that the reality is far, far and away from what the President promised. First let's rewind the tape back to 2009 when the Obama Administration was spoon-feeding us the wonders and joys of the coming Obamacare utopia.   Remember, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

The broken promises of ObamaCare are almost too many to count.  We've seen ad nauseum the clips of President Obama stating, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan." Anyone who knows simple economics knew, even before seeing numerous reports of dropped coverage, that simply was never going to be the case.

In his effort to try to convince Americans that the Affordable Care Act was going to be affordable, and that benevolent big government cared, President Obama exclaimed, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. Period." 

There will be an attempt, and probably a concerted effort, to attack as selfish and even unpatriotic people who do not wish to participate in Obamacare.  If people choose to behave rationally and react to perverse incentives, expect the Left to cry foul.But as long as the wrong-headed and unjust law continues to remain in effect, all of us, one way or another, will be forced to endure the consequences. The only questions are how we can protect ourselves from it, and how much blame we're willing to accept for the damage it causes.
