As predicted: Republicans Give Health Law Room to Stumble

As you read this, ask yourself the following:

Even though NO ONE could have predicted just HOW galactically incompetent development of the web exchange system was, didn’t people like Paul Ryan have the numbers on premiums, the understanding of the forced cancellation of individual plans, and the ability to synthesize the reaction of the people?

Did those who understood what these items would create among the people fail to convince others?

Mr. Ryan voted to OPEN the govt, and raise the debt pending 6 more weeks of negotiation (and nothing has happened, notice).

Many House Republicans are replacing their push to delay or defund the 2010 federal health law with a new strategy: Hang back and see if problems with the rollout continue or get worse.

It is an abrupt reversal of the activist approach of just weeks ago, when Republicans demanded changes to the law in exchange for funding the government or raising the nation’s borrowing limit. Now, they say putting the spotlight on technical flaws of the law’s health-insurance exchange may be more effective than a direct attack.

"It’s its own worst enemy, and to some degree it is collapsing under its own weight," said Rep. Michael Burgess (R., Texas), who sits on the committee that pressed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday to explain what is going wrong.

Weeks ago, Democrats had been unified against GOP efforts to delay parts of the law, particularly the requirement that people carry insurance or pay a penalty. But now, as problems in the rollout of the law prompt some Democrats to call for a delay, it is Republicans who say they are giving up on changing anything.

The rocky rollout of the new health care law has deepened, with concern over insurance cancellations and personal privacy adding to the problems of the health care website. And how much is the new law to blame for Obama’s record-low approval numbers?

"There are folks in my caucus who say just let the Americans face the pain," said Tim Huelskamp (R., Kan.), who voted recently to link government spending to a one-year delay of the health law. Now, he says the fate of the law is out of the hands of Congress. “At this point in time I don’t think we can change anything,” Mr. Huelskamp said.

Mrs. Epa is among those who believe we deserve all we suffer from this, btw. You get the govt you deserve, is the genesis of that, I believe. There is no doubt that is true.

These are inarguable facts of this program. If the CBS news data is correct.26 new Obamacare enrollees joined FORWARD in the last 24 hours.

I’m sure they will comeo up with some excuse, like …’WELL THE WEB SITE WAS DOWN’ but I wonder if they connect those dots?

As for me, since the expense is RIDICULOUS, I am going to have to opt out. Naturally this form does not yet exist.

I expect it will become available the week after the fines, oh, excuse me Justice Roberts, the TAX is enforced.
