Although we’d intended to promote a discussion of the Fukushima disaster here this week, perhaps it would be better to feature comedy rather than tragedy before we plunge into darkness, since “Japan’s problem” could soon mutate into the most serious problem the world has ever faced. In the spirit of a Delta Tau Chi toga party, then, let us take a few more playfully sadistic whacks at Obummercare — especially since the mainstream media have been doing such a lousy job of it. Reading The New York Times, The Washington Post and other left/liberal news sources, one might get the impression that once the computer glitches are fixed, Obummercare will cruise to success. To the contrary, we believe the problems inflicted on America by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will only get worse. Much worse. For, once the dust has settled, it’s likely that the impact of “The Worst Bill Ever” on the healthcare delivery system will make the current, computer-glitch phase seem like a romp in the park.
To kick off this week’s discussion, some observations and predictions:
- We still believe the ACA will collapse all by itself, but that the process unfortunately will take too long to spare the U.S. economy from deepest recession.
- Not only will Republicans not be blamed for this, Ted Cruz will eventually be hailed as a hero. It is only in the dreams of a left-tilting, protect-the-king-at-all-costs press that voters would remember the government shutdown, let alone Obummercare-related snafus, as “problems” caused by Republicans.
- Obama, continuing his tenure as the worst American president in U.S. history, will take blame for nothing, as always . To be perfectly clear, however, so cynical are we about the electorate that we believe Obama would be re-elected to a third term were it possible for him to run again.
- Although the economy eventually will recover from the bunker-busting implosionary force of Obummercare, the healthcare system will not. Doctors will continue desert Medicare and Medicaid, and a whole generation of would-be doctors will pursue other careers that do not promise to make them the indentured servants of Big Government.
- As a result, medical care will be rationed as never before. Unless you can afford to pay cash, you’ll wait months, rather than days or weeks, to see a physician for problems that are not life-threatening.
What say you, readers?
The irony here is, Ted Cruz is just like the rest of ’em, in my opinion. I can wait for him to show his real colors when the next step for immigration “reform” takes place. Along with Cantor, Rand, Boehner, and the rest of that scum.
Give ’em the boot!
