ObamaCare: What If It Were Fire Insurance?

Tea Party Economist reports:
ObamaCare is a great program for sick people . . . once they enroll. It’s not a great program for healthy people, once the sick people enroll.

In the middle of the speech, a young woman standing behind him almost fainted. It turns out she has a pre-existing condition: type-1 diabetes. She has another. She is pregnant.

The good news for her is this: she is now covered. Someone else will pay to treat her pre-existing conditions.

All in all, it was a representative press conference. A handful of winners were there. The millions of losers have not yet paid the bills. They will.

This government-rigged insurance program is like a four-alarm fire. What is on fire is the public’s freedom of choice in the health-care delivery system.

Where’s the fire department? The toll-free line is busy. Call back later.

Ouch.
