Obamacare: too big to succeed (UPDATE)

Rush had a couple of segments during Wednesday's program that stressed how the monstrocity of Obamacare is too big to work and will likely take the states to fix Obama's nationalized health care debacle...
"Obamacare, I don't think can work. I don't think it can be successfully implemented. Now, that can be disastrous, by the way...all these rules and regulations...administering this is gonna be impossible. ... This could end up being like trying to herd cats. It's just too big, it's too wieldly, it's too unresponsive to the real needs that people have. ... What they have devised here is simply impossible to implement. It is impossible to track it. It's too open-ended. They can add regulations at anytime that contradict existing regulations, which is going to happen... It's gonna end up being this giant jigsaw puzzle that nobody could ever put together if they lived forever, because the parts are gonna forever be increasing, changing in size. It's not gonna be workable."

"Some states are not even messing with Obamacare. Some states are basically punting Obamacare, as much as they can. And those states, I think, is where the savior in all of this is gonna end up being found. ... And the day is gonna come when the federal government begs states to bail them out of this."


Joe Klein of TIME magazine wrote an article on Tuesday concerned with the incompetence surrounding the implementation of Obamacare. Limbaugh had a brutally honest response for Mr. Klein's desire for Obama to step in to 'fix' the problem...
"Barack Obama doesn't care about the implementation of Obamacare. Barack Obama doesn't know what's in it. What Barack Obama does is keep score, and he got national health care, and it's for other people to deal with."

"But if you perceive Obamacare's implementation is the problem, asking him to fix it is not the way to go. If you really want Obamacare to work, you're gonna have to go to the states and beg them to fix this, because they will tell you at the states, they can't deal with it. They'll tell you at the states, there isn't any money for it."

Cancer clinics are turning away thousands of Medicare patients. Blame the sequester. (Even though the sequester includes Medicare cuts, no more than 2% annually, it doesn't specify they're required to be made. Contrast that with Obamacare, which stole half-a-trillion from Medicare! Of course the administration would use the sequester to cut more, and then blame it on Republicans.)

UPDATE: Rush continued on Thursday with another piece of the jigsaw puzzle...The Washington Examiner reports that now tens of thousands of so-called Obamacare 'Navigators' are being hired by October to help you choose Obamacare options. Where's the money coming from to fund this? Just look in the mirror. But keep reading and you'll quickly come to understand the subversion occurring here as well...
Tens of thousands of health care professionals, union workers and community activists hired as "navigators" to help Americans choose Obamacare options starting Oct. 1 could earn $20 an hour or more, according to new regulations issued Wednesday.

The rules also addressed conflict of interest and other potential issues that navigators could face as the public's first stop on the Obamacare trail.

It is still not clear how many navigators will be required. California, however, provides a hint. It wants 21,000.

That could be an expensive proposition. The proposed rules, now open for public comment, suggest an estimated pay of $20-$48 an hour.

The rules allow navigators to come from the ranks of unions, health providers and community action groups such as ACORN and Planned Parenthood. They are required to provide unbiased advice.
Unbiased? With these biased groups? Preposterous. See where this is going?
Some in Congress are already wary of the navigators. Louisiana Republican Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., chairman of the House Ways and Means Oversight subcommittee, has raised questions about a voter registration provision in the Obamacare application Americans will have to fill out to receive health care, and whether Democratic-leaning activists will influence which party people choose to join.
They're hiring tens of thousand of community activists to register people to vote, preferably Democrat, under the guise of 'navigating' you through Obamacare. Just another example of how this has nothing to do with your health care, and everything to do with this man and this party's perpetual campaign...
