| Obama's Race for the Cure |
| 2013-11-22 |
| [CONTENT.TIME] A good President needs a big comfort zone. He should be able to treat enemies as opportunities, appear authentic in joy and grief, stay cool under the hot lights. But humility doesn't come naturally to those who decide they are qualified to run the free world. So the sign that the Obama presidency had reached a turning point came not when his poll numbers sank or his allies shuddered or the commentariat went hunting for the right degree of debacle to compare to the rollout of Obamacare. It happened when he started apologizing. In triplicate. For not knowing what was going on in his own Administration. For failing to prevent his signature achievement from detonating in prime time. For not telling the whole truth when he promised people that Obamacare would not touch them without permission: "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan." Obama's supporters can decry a "feeding frenzy," but this is a critical moment for a President whose agenda for a second term amounted to little more than being not as lame as the other guy. The HealthCare.gov website may or may not get fixed on deadline, the senior staff may be booted and rebooted, but it is already too late to avoid a pageant of media scrutiny, Republican merriment, a rebuke even from Bill Clinton and a host of existential questions: Can this policy be saved? What is left of Obama's second term if it is consumed by fixing an unpopular policy from the first? How could a White House appear so confident and incompetent at the same time? |

| #10 California health exchange votes to not enact Obama health plan 'fix' From the link: "There's no way to make the federal law work without this transition to ACA-compliant plans," board member Susan Kennedy said. "Delaying the transition isn't going to help anyone; it just delays the problems. I actually think that it's going to make a bad situation worse if we complicate it further." |

| #9 The interesting thing to me is the nuclear option. I read that as the Dems knowing they are going to be out of power for awhile and are hoping to pack the courts beforehand. It is also a gamble that the Republicans will be too nice to use such power against them when the time comes and that the media can make any Republican use seem partisan and unique rather than it being turn about. |

| #7 There is no need to start Ocare over. All we need do is let the market work things out with a few tweaks to allow interstate insurance sales, tort reform to control the monster that is malpractice and the ability of people to keep their insurance despite job changes. The gov't needs only to enforce contracts and get the hell out of the way. |

| #5 There's no cure for ObamaCare other than to scuttle it and start over. This imposter could still create a great deal of mischief before he is gone. It has started in the Senate with Harry Reid changing the rules. That despicable weasel. It has started in the WH with executive orders. |

| #4 It's still early in the the third quarter - a little early for optimism. But not too early for hope, and as for schadenfreude? Yewbetchya! |
