More fun with Obamacare

Tmi3rd looks at Obamacare, and the utter disaster it would be.  One thing I'd note is this,

Safeway's program was profiled in the WSJ recently. I can only assume that Obama intends to give tax incentives for being healthier, which translates into "We're going to tax you for being unhealthy." The fact that the left-libertarians are not howling like gibbons about this mystifies me, but that's a discussion for another time.

I actually watched the CEO of Safeway being interviewed by Mike Huckabee about this (was at hotel, been drinking, no computer), and the word I kept hearing during that interview was control.  I don't like to hear CEOs talking control, government talking about control like that scares the hell out of me. I should note too, the Hucktard's band did an original song for that taping, the song being about, of course, the greatness of Mike Huckabee.  Modesty. 

The good news is that I think that as long as the GOP leadership can show the level of competence I think they're capable of (and I'm setting the bar seriously fucking low here), with conservative media and thinktanks on the attack, I think we can bog down and ultimately stop Obamacare, but it is going to be at least an Amnesty-level slog, probably worse, so get ready.
