The Double Edged Sword Of ObamaCare Rhetoric

From Victor Davis Hanson

The newly canceled health plans are suddenly rebranded by the administration as “subpar.” Only in autumn 2013 is the supposedly unaware public told that, years ago, “bad apple” insurance companies sold them “substandard” plans.

According to Obama, millions of Americans were once ignorant or uninformed, and thus will soon be pleased about their cancellations: “So the majority of folks will end up being better off. Of course, because the website’s not working right, they don’t necessarily know it.”

By that logic, the legions of Obama supporters who desperately sought and won exemptions from Obamacare are not “better off” now, but those stuck with it will be?

So the next time your local Obamacare salesman (any elected Democrat or one of their OFA-like water-carriers) brings out the “sub-par policy” argument…ask them why Obama went and screwed over all those people to whom he gave waivers?
