Could have? Has he been paying attention since October 1?
President Barack Obama’s healthcare law could have a “meltdown” and
make it difficult for his Democratic Party to keep control of the U.S.
Senate next year if ongoing problems with the program are not resolved, a
Democratic senator said on Sunday.
Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who has urged delaying a penalty
for people who do not enroll for health insurance in 2014 under the law,
told CNN that a transitional year was needed for the complex healthcare
program, commonly known as Obamacare, to work.
“If it’s so much more expensive than what we anticipated and if the
coverage is not as good as what we had, you’ve got a complete meltdown at
that time,” Manchin told CNN’s “State of the Union” program.
“It falls of its own weight, if basically the cost becomes more than we
can absorb, absolutely.”
Meanwhile, Obama took a moment today to urge people to help get the word out
, since apparently the billion dollars spent advertising this mess hasn’t
reached the desired audience.
“The law is working,” he said in a statement. “If you don’t have
health insurance, go to [the site] right now and sign up. If you do it
before December 23rd, you can be covered on the first day of the New Year.
… I’m asking you to spread the word about getting covered.”
Desperation. |
