Will ObamaCare be repealed this year?
Not a chance. As Voltaire writes in msg 4, “It's here to stay.” And quoting Mott in msg 7, “once the reforms are in place they will become very popular and then those who have opposed them so strongly will have a big political problem,”
I believe Obama played it well, very well. He knew there would be the usual lies and distortions and people unaware of government medical would react. It was a natural and logical assumption so he started off with kids being on parent’s plans.
That’s one regulation affecting two distinct groups of people, children and parents. Very few people with children would argue against that regulation and certainly fewer children (young adults) would.
As far as I’m aware the “meat” of the plan doesn’t take effect until after the ’12 election, meaning little can be done to interfere with it in the present. As time passes and regulations take effect people will like them. We know that to be the case because every country with a government medical plan has kept theirs. No exceptions even though every plan has a number of differences.
Time is on Obama’s side. The more people understand the plan and realize the benefits the more people will support it.
Then we have the economy. While most health plans are connected to ones job and many are either losing their job or worried about the possibility, health care becomes a priority. Rather than contemplating the pros and cons of private insurance vis-a-vis a government plan the focus switches to the possibility of no plan verses a government plan. If one is concerned with losing their medical plan along with a job, which would provide the ability to pay for one, then government medical looks mighty good, indeed.
That is the angle Obama needs to exploit. He’ll have to walk a fine line between “what will you do if you lose your medical along with your job and, thus, your ability to afford any insurance” without making it sound like he’s forewarning about poor economic conditions ahead. But I’m sure he’ll be able to pull it off.
My forecast is the economy will not greatly improve and people will realize the necessity of government medical regardless of whether they believe it’s better or worse than the old fashioned way of doing business because they’ll realize the old fashioned way may quickly slip through their fingers.
To sum up there will be those who realize the benefits and those undecided who will prefer to have some type of medical plan to no plan at all.
It all looks good.
