President Obama announces that you "stupid" consumers can keep your "substandard" policies from "bad apple" insurers for another year! No enforcement of the individual mandate just as previously announced for the employer mandate.
But what about the children (TM)?
Wait, I thought I kept hearing in September from Harry Reid and others during the attempt to defund Obamacare that it was sacrosanct and "the law of the land"?
Wonder how the media and the Democrats (for the most part the same group) would have reacted if, during the 2012 campaign, Romney announced that if elected he would not seek repeal of Obamacare but merely not enforce any of the provisions?
In related news, the Administration also announced there will be no IRS enforcement of tax related laws and regulations for the next year.
We can now see the results of a toxic mix of bad ideas, arrogance and lack of practical experience.
Speaking of which, this announcement triggers yet another cascade of practical problems but since the Administration is more interested in the politics and shifting the blame to the insurers, rather than figuring out how to undo the mess it created, this disaster will continue for awhile longer until some adults finally step in.
