The ObamaCare Rollout

CARTOON BY  ROBERT ARIAIL

THE ROLLOUT OF OBAMACARE HAS BEEN SOMETHING LESS THAT SPECTACULAR.  IN FACT TO THIS POINT IT HAS BEEN A FLOP.  THE LOOMING DANGERS OF IMPOSING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT ON THE NATION ARE NUMEROUS.  THE RAISING COST OF INSURANCE AND THE MILLIONS THAT COULD LOSE THEIR JOBS.  AND, OF COURSE, THE TENS OF THOUSANDS WHO MAY LOSE THEIR TRUSTED INSURANCE AND BE FORCIBLY PUT INTO A PLAN THAT DOESN'T FIT THEIR NEEDS.  AND THEN THERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE MILLIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO FEEL THEY HAVE NO NEED OF INSURANCE AND WILL BE RELUCTANT TO PURCHASE IT AND OPT OUT BY JUST PAYING THE SMALL FINE.  THIS WILL KILL THE PLAN AS IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THE YOUNGER TO HELP PAY THE COST OF THE ELDERLY.
