Favoritism in Obamacare? Nah

Here are two troubling aspects of Obamacare. (There aren't enough already?)  First of all, it seems that insurance rates will rise more in red states than blue states (states that voted against Obama as compared to states that voted for Obama).

And you must watch this piece that ran today on Fox News with Judge Andrew Napolitano. He reports that Obamacare is highly susceptible to fraud and abuse. Further, the bill removes the power of the Justice Department to prosecute crimes of kick-backs connected to Obamacare. Why would it do that? According to Napolitano, it is so the Obama White House can reward its friends and punish its enemies.

What is encouraging is that most of the mainstream news media is reporting on this issue and finding fault. (It's not just Fox News.) Of course, the holdout mad hatters at MSNBC are still working hard to defend this monster. It is laughable, but when has MSNBC been anything other than laughable?

    "He reports that Obamacare is highly susceptible to fraud and abuse... According to Napolitano, it is so the Obama White House can reward its friends and punish its enemies".

    The perfect example of "Justice for Us" and the Saul Alinsky, Progressive way.

    The parade of problems are just starting because it is such an unworkable enterprise to have the same basic coverage requirements for over 300 million people.... whether they want it or not.

    The underlying economics are unworkable besides the technical ones, which I have already commented on.

    One of the first things you should do when building a high volume web site is to buy up all the similar sounding web site names. If not, the identity thieves will set up "Obamacare.com", "AmericanHealthCare.org" and dozens of similar ones. People will enter their personal information, ask you to call it or mail it in. Kiss your bank account gone and expect your credit cards to be used up.

    Some day, at tremendous expense, all this will be worked out but then the inequalities will become a major problem for many, many years.

    Rates are determined by insurance companies... private sector, free enterprise, you know? What does big business have against red states? Oh, maybe more guns means higher medical risk?
