Watch: Sen. Mike Enzi Predicted Obamacare Failures Three Years Ago

His Democratic colleagues ignored him. Others even mocked him. But, now, congressmen who accused him of fearmongering are holding their tongues, for everything Senator Mike Enzi (R-Wy.) predicted about Obamacare has turned out to be true. Megyn Kelly brought Sen. Enzi on her show Tuesday to list for viewers his completely accurate warnings back in September 2010.

1. “Americans will eventually be forced to buy the kind of health insurance the federal government thinks you should have.”

Check.

2. “Employers will be less likely to hire new workers and probably even lay off workers.”

Check.

3. “Most businesses the administration estimates between 39 and 69 percent will not be able to keep the coverage that they have.”

Check.

4. “This new regulation appears to ignore the impact it will have in the real world. it’ll drive up costs and reduce the number of people who will have insurance.”

Check.

No, Enzi’s not a psychic. He’s just got a lot of common sense.

Kelly, after marveling at Enzi’s 100 percent accurate predictions and his being one of the only senators to actually read the health care legislation, spoke with the senator about his attempt to repeal the provision of Obamacare that would have allowed Americans to keep the insurance they want. Yet, as he explained, every single Democrat voted against it.

On the campaign trail, Obama promised there would be five days between the time a bill was produced and the time it was voted on, so "the people could read it." This bill, early 3,000 pages was given mere hours. I wonder why?

Jud Gregg said the exchanges were designed to fail...provide unaffordable insurance and lead to the next step of single payer system. He was there as Obabblecare was built...he knows the truth....just as Obabble knows the truth of his words when he was a state senator.

Part of his grand plans, his "transition to socialism?"

Occams Razor. The PPACA is exactly what it appears to be, it's a payoff to the Big Insurance companies who have donated money and lobbied for a mandate for decades, that's really all it is. I understand that some people want to believe that there's a sinister plot to move us all into a socialist HC system but you're giving our politicians way too much credit.

Senator Enzi is nothing special, anyone with even a basic education in economics knew from the get go that combining the worst of public and private sector was doomed to fail...too bad most people don't ever bother to take Econ 101.

Actually it's more basic than that. Too bad more representatives and senators didn't take the time to read it. Although they didn't have time to read the entire bill before voting, they should have demanded a delay in voting so Congress could read it.

If I recall, Obama promised 5 days between presentation of a bill and voting so the people could be aware of the bill and be part of the process of communicating with their representatives. If transparency was going to be a highlight in this bill and the openness was going to be an issue, it should have been weeks before the vote.
