Hey, remember the last time we measured success by clicks and eyeballs?...
Daniel Henninger of the WSJ believes that, if passed, Obamacare will do just that: This thing called "ObamaCare" carries on its back all the justifications, hopes and dreams of the entitlement state. The chance is at hand to let its political underpinnings collapse, perhaps permanently. If ObamaCare...
Playing along is not a victory, any more so than it was in June 2012....
The gist of the message is that, from the outset, the calculations used to sell Obamacare to the American public were slipshod and/or naive and/or mistaken and/or simplistic and/or outright lies (see more here). And this is news to exactly whom? Obamacare: One Blow After Another The Obamacare...
I realize I have re-posted this a number of times. The original post was November 11, 2008, a week after Obama's first election. Because I knew we had elected Door No. 2. Watching Ted Cruz and others on the floor of the Senate tonight, I have to...

Obamacare-exchange insurance is essentially Medicaid lite - insurance but few doctors who will see you....
It's about leaving nothing left except government care. And no, you can't keep your doctor or your present insurance.

Why are Democrats holding the nation hostage to Obamacare?...
President Asterisk strikes again...
Obamacare’s start date, October 1st, is rapidly approaching. As the impending Tuesday draws nearer and nearer, new headlines are drawing attention to unsettling aspects of the system. Troubling enough was the NSA surveillance scandal this summer. Now, add sensitive medical information to the mix. Concerned citizens...
Death Panels by a thousand cuts....
No offense to rodeo clowns intended....
The president's latest radio address is a classic example of Obamaspeak. We've grown used to the drill. First, some empty words about how he's going to help the economy and the middle class. Then sanguine projections about what his program (in this case, Obamacare) will do...
Reid said he thinks the country has to “work our way past” insurance-based health care during a Friday night appearance on Vegas PBS’ program “Nevada Week in Review.” “What we’ve done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we’re far from having something that’s going to work forever,” Reid said. When then asked by panelist Steve Sebelius whether he meant ultimately the country would have to have a health care system that abandoned insurance as the means of accessing it, Reid said: “Yes, yes. Absolutely, yes.”It was treated as breaking news.
Some Republicans also seemed shocked:

This announcement, however, was neither breaking news nor reason to be shocked. Democrats have been saying that Obamacare was just a step in the right direction since the days in which Obamacare was first proposed:

Obama has been telling us that single payer was the goal since the time he was just a twinkle in the eye of the Chicago political machine (video via Hot Air):
Muddling through is becoming a kind description for the implementation of Obamacare. In addition to a multitude of operational problems and cost misfires we recently learned that the employer mandate would be delayed for a year. On Friday another shoe dropped. The government is delaying for...
As Mandy Nagy previously noted here, the employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare, will now be delayed until 2015. The decision to delay Obamacare's employer mandate could cost the U.S. billions: http://t.co/bzOYrJAYj3— MarketWatch (@MarketWatch) July 4, 2013 News of the O-care employer...
