On Friday’s “NewsHour” on PBS, New York Times columnist David Brooks warned that Obamacare is headed for much larger problems, beyond the current obvious problems of the dysfunction of its website.
In his weekly appearance on the PBS program with syndicated columnist Mark Shields, Brooks called the website the easy part of the 2009 health care reform law. And he said Americans should be concerned about are the larger structural problems of the program.
“I think it’s a hole that is getting deeper,” Brooks said. “I mean, the website was the easy thing to do. And they messed that up. The people who are losing — are getting their insurance cancellation that was a necessity of the law. It’s sort of offensive because they think they have a good insurance plan. The government regulators are saying, ‘Sorry, not good enough.’ Some of them are going to suffer. Some will benefit. But these are the foothills to what will be a whole set of bigger problems.”
*shrugs* And the light bulb finally lights. This is news? Most of us with a brain had this figured out 4 years ago. If I didnt worry that I would be involved in this..I would be saying..get the popcorn.
I am really, really anxious to see the outcome of all of this.
