First of all, Obama doesnt have the authority to change the law. And he cant give states, state agencies, and insurance companies permission to ignore it. Second, Obama said his key point today was that, because hes fixing it, its no longer Obamacares fault that people are being dropped. Nice try at dodging responsibility but dream on, pal. You and the Dems passed a law, the insurance companies adjusted, pricing things on the law, and cancelling policies that didnt comply. Its done. Third, theres this: Changing the ACA provisions could alter the dynamics of the insurance market, creating two parallel markets operating under different rules, thereby threatening the viability of insurance markets operating under the new rules, Cori Uccello, a senior health fellow for the American Academy of Actuaries, said in a statement. See that word there, Actuaries. Those are people who do math. Serious math about what to charge a group of people based on what theyre going to need insurance-wise. You can legislate that 1+1+3 all you want, you can proclaim it from behind a microphone and a teleprompter, but you know what? It doesnt make it true. 1+1=2 is a rigid principle that cannot be legislated. As Ayn Rands character, Steelmaker Hank Rearden said, Try to pour a ton of steel without rigid principles. Or stay in business insuring people without math.
