Obamacare "Success" Story

As told by Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show:



"That’s right, the White House said that it surpassed its goal for people enrolled in ObamaCare. It’s amazing what you can achieve when you make something mandatory and fine people if they don't do it. And then keep extending the deadline for months. It’s like a Cinderella story. It’s just a beautiful thing. You make everyone do it. Isn’t it great how many people do it? But if you still haven't enrolled, you might have to pay a penalty called the individual shared responsibility payment, which is 1% of your salary. Then Americans said, ‘Man, good thing I don't have a job."

Indeed. It really is fertile comedic territory, especially since it is mostly unmined by anyone in the national spotlight. The best of the SNL skits drilled any pompous political types of both parties. Fallon is a worthy alum.
