Purposely written to be as complex as possible to bamboozle the CBO as well as the cattle-masses. And them rammed through without a single Pub vote.“This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed… Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass… Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”
That's what passes for morality among FHers: Thinking a policy is so good in the collective sense that it's okay to craft it and sell it in a way that keeps actual human beings from seeing what it does.
Is there any doubt that repeal is right and necessary?
That is abominable but it is how lawyers work. Repeal it, let's roll!
