The death of the death of ObamaCare

The Death of the Death of Obamacare -- Daily Intelligencer

Funny how the rw's don't seem to know that insurance has always worked by using the premiums of the healthy to pay the expenses of the sick.

... The Kaiser Family Foundation crunched the numbers and found that even this worst-case scenario would result in a 2.4 percent premium hike. That’s a trivial increase, nothing like the kind of premium hike that would chase healthy customers away and trigger a death spiral. The website botch may mean that the exchanges enroll fewer customers for 2014 than originally hoped. But the effect on the long-term prognosis of the law turns out to be essentially nil...

...Meanwhile, a newer legislative challenge has lurked on the sidelines. Conservative legal activists had seized on a quirk in the legislative text of the law which, if taken out of context, could be read to deny tax credits to any customers in the exchanges run by the federal government rather than the states. Yesterday, a judge laughed this challenge out of court....

A resounding victory for the administration in the exchange litigation | The Incidental Economist

While the rws are whining that they're paying more, more and more actual people are signing up and loving the lower costs.

I've always said the Republicans would acquiesce on ACA. Would have been no different if Romney had won. It's just a 'good cop, bad cop' charade. Both parties are after the same thing.

More than 40 admittedly fake votes to repeal at a cost of more than $54 million is not what I would call acquiescence. Not to mention the cost of the silly ass phony filibuster by Ted Cruz.

All of that was nothing more than campaigning for the next election.

The fact is, the traitorous R will do anything to keep Americans from getting good and affordable health care.

Heh, yeah, Republicans have a burning desire to deprive people of health care. Does that make sense in your head?

No, this has nothing to do with "health". It's all power and money, for both gangs of traitors. Grow up. Wake up.
