"Bending the cost curve" up America's collective ass:
Health-care spending by middle-income Americans rose 24% between 2007 and 2013, driven by an even larger rise in the cost of buying health insurance, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of detailed consumer-spending data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Why, how can this be? O promised, solemnly pledged, cheaper insurance, cheaper healthcare bills, and more competition in insurance, AND that we could all keep our plans and doctors. Remember?
My stars and garters, how could our president have been so wrong....across the board....about everything? I mean, he can't be incompetent, can he? He's the most brilliant human being who has ever lived, right? And such a messianic figure isn't capable of, and couldn't possibly have....lied to us about it all - could he?
Since this is all (1) excruciating snark and (2) old-hat review for the smartest audience in the Alpha Quadrant, I won't bother with a punchline. I'll simply observe that most of the private health insurance market has already been destroyed, the six or so million Americans who had the health plans they liked taken away from them a year ago are just the leading edge of the hundred million more that will lose their plans once his infernal majesty stops deferring the Employer Mandate, and this is a core reason why the Democrat "brand" is canine excrement.
At least for now. Not that O needs a "brand" anymore, anyway. It really is good to be the king.
