Makes perfect sense to me, and more will do it.  Soon the wailing from the slavepits from the ignorant masses and FreeShyt Army will demand single-payer/nationaliization...or so the story will go...

The End is Near.

Let's be honest here. Who has f**ked up medical care only looking to make a sh*t load of money for the least amount of work? The answer is......your garden variety snake err lawyer.

Somehow and it was certainly easy, they convinced Americans that it's far easier to sue a doctor for money than actually earn a living.(yes, I know some doctors should be allowed to operate on dolls but hey, second opinions and referrals can go far in the marketplace.) This probably followed the easy paycheck after suing for wrongful death or accidents for labels not giving proper warnings to idiots and we've discussed this on other threads.

When the progressives can't find a freaking doctor after doing something stupid like skateboarding or ski-football or the various other idiotic things similar to Jackass, the movie they can nurse their sorry broken ass back to a cripple state and starve when nobody will award them food. The gene pool will shrink and at the same time be purified, the weak minded will disappear and the liberals will have attained a society that doesn't give a sh*t about anyone least of all, them.

My company is coming right out and telling part timers to go on welfare, as we're no long giving them the option of getting on the company plan.  The memo hit just last week, along with the memo that does away with the affordable plan that many bought...the one that covers the basics.

This sort of thing will happen everywhere.

This is all part of the plan. ObamaCare is meant to be onerous and infeasible. It will generate a whole swathe of new problems for which the solution is "obvious", i.e. fully national government-run healthcare just as Libertas points out.

This is the favored tactic of the Left: aggravate a problem, implement a solution that involves bigger government, create whole new set of problems as a result of the solution to the original problem, finally proclaim that it proves the situation is too broad and complex for anything less than comprehensive government management by a whole new Department or Administration.

They're like that guy in NYC who ran a windshield repair business, and got caught going around at night whacking car windshields with a ball peen hammer.
