Problem is, when it collapses, Barry will be able to say, “It’s all the fault of those mean doctors and hospitals. And they’re all JOOOOOS!”

ACA is as untossable as the incumbent disaster-in-chief is unimpeachable. Far too many people have far too large a stake in both for either to be done away with; facts, fears, and prospects of disastrous times ahead notwithstanding.

“The whole thing seems to be about PR . . .”

Isn’t that really the only thing Obama has done – PR – aside from winning an election (which is PR) he really hasn’t done anything else and so doesn’t know how to accomplish anything. Oh, let’s give him a prize for that!

Remember when they were feeling indignant and self righteous about being called un America, or remember when they were like that when talking about Bush and lies?

I’m starting to think it doesn’t make any difference how bad Obamacare is. Those of us who knew it was a terrible idea are understandably happy to see it failing so flamboyantly — in its EASIEST phase: building a website. And when the rest of it starts to kick in and people realize that IT’S NOT A GOOD THING, surely the morons on the other side will notice and do something. Surely they will join us in tossing the whole thing out.

But how do we toss it out?

The more I look at it, the more untossable it seems. Even if it continues to collapse in such a dramatic fashion — thousands of doctors unavailable, numberless accounts hacked, etc — so what? The MSM starts to figure out it’s a scam and start actual reporting about the extent of the disaster? So what?

It doesn’t matter how outraged we are. It doesn’t matter how many Dem senators are tossed out in 2014. We CAN’T get rid of Obamacare. Unless there are 66 Republican votes in the Senate, the “President” will veto any repeal bill sent to him, and Obamacare will continue to grind away at our freedoms until 2016, when the cancer will have taken root and it will be too late.

Too pessimistic?

The more people that submit their data, the more people will be surprised at the cost and out-of-pocket expenses compared to their previous plans.

Then there will be those who think they are covered, but are not. Add those to the number of people who simply could not enroll in time. Together they represent a large number.
Actuaries make their estimates according to the Law of Large Numbers.

I would like to hear a health actuary’s estimate of the number of people who have lost their coverage and experience a catastrophic illness or accident before coverage can be secured.

ObamaCare backers are wary of the anecdotes that arise from these individual experiences. There will be plenty. This wariness is ironic, since progressives rely anecdotal evidence to advance their agenda. Sandra Fluke’s description of the plight of her classmate is one example. ObamaCare backers are right to be worried.
