Obamacare Update

Obamacare has not only flown into the ground but is continuing to plow through the woods, houses, whatever gets in the way. Cover Oregon is dealing not only with the totally dysfunctional $300M website and whether to junk it, but is facing a fiscal crisis as well. Only 63,000 people have signed up, many of whom were already on Medicaid or are newly on the subsidized program and the full-fare folks are staying away in droves. The result is a financial squeeze on the agency. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Dictatorship is clearly the answer.

Meanwhile over at MSNBC (aka "The Comedy Channel") Melissa Harris-Perry has taken the dictatorship model to heart and told her audience on the air, such as it is, that, "You can't keep your crappy plan! Just deal with that!" It's tough to come back to such incisive analysis, but let's try. Her follow-on sentence probably should have been something like, "That's right - you gotta sign up for our even crappier and more expensive plan - OR ELSE!" She would look good in the black uniform of the new Amerika Corps, don't you think?
