Obaminable impossibility

As we speak, Dear Leader is about to announce that — lucky you! — you can keep your inferior, inadequate, cancer-covering, less expensive, lower-deductible health insurance after all. For a while.

Except that, as even NPR understands, that’s mostly impossible due to all the hurdles insurance companies had to go through to be “allowed” to cancel old plans and the hurdles they’ll have to go through to be “allowed” to keep them. Not to mention the millions — billions? — they’ve spent making internal changes and notifying policyholders. And what’s their motivation undoing it all and doing it all again a year from now?

The “Obamacare Schadenfreudarama” has been entertaining (horrible though it is, in fact). But this adds yet another dimension of suckage.

Whatever the details of what O. is about to announce, the whole heap of s*t appears to be nothing but more noisome politics: “See, I’m letting you keep your plan. If those evil-bad-monster insurance companies still cut you off on January 1, it’s only because they’re so greeeeeeeedy and don’t care about you.” Also a desperate attempt to save Dem pol asses.

How many do you suppose will fall for it?

But at least there’s one encouraging sign. ZeroHedge reports that Americans are 34 times more interested in buying guns than buying Obamacare. (Dispute the motivations and the reasons for the difference in stats; it’s still a hoot of a notion.)
