You get what you vote for.

Even buzzfeed.com notices.

quote:
“Imminent elements of Obama's grandest policy move, the health care overhaul known as ObamaCare, are calculated to screw his most passionate supporters and to transfer wealth to his worst enemies.”

“The provisions required to make any sort of health insurance plan work … require healthy young people to pay more in health insurance than they consume in services, while the elderly … consume far more than they pay in.”

“…the individual mandate, which aims to force the young, childless, and healthy — "Young Invincibles," as they are said to think of themselves — to buy heath insurance, even if they think (and even perhaps make a rational, if risky, bet) that they don't need it.”

“…a lesser-known policy to limit the practices of charging different premiums to different ages, known as age-rating.”

“The near-total silence on this issue is a mark of a class that is either utterly selfless (hard to believe, honestly) or, as usual, singularly bad at seeing and defending its interests.”

Taxcutter says:
OK, Young Invincibles. You voted for him. Now cough up the bucks.

Read the link. Younger people (18-27, who voted 60% for Hussein Obama) are getting stuck.

Coerced into buying insurance they don't need.

In general the people will pay for this and the insurance companies gain. Crony capitalism with the best of intentions.

Here's another case:


Associated Press reports:


Some families could get priced out of health insurance due to what’s being called a glitch in President Barack Obama’s overhaul law. IRS regulations issued Wednesday failed to fix the problem as liberal backers of the president’s plan had hoped.

As a result, some families that can’t afford the employer coverage that they are offered on the job will not be able to get financial assistance from the government to buy private health insurance on their own. How many people will be affected is unclear.

I told you so.

Results don't matter to a liberal, intentions do.
