Danger Will Robinson Danger…

“Danger Will Robinson Danger…”  Just like in the 60s TV show, Lost In Space, now is not the time to trust our President, who behaves much like the cowardly Dr. Smith  (who actually was a foreign agent) with lies and  finger-pointing for the meteor storm that Obamacare created.  Although, the Affordable Care Act debacle feels almost like a gift to those opposed to socialized medicine, from previous experience this isn’t a time to gloat, claim ideological victory or become complacent, because the real fight hasn’t even begun.  As implementation failures escalate, the proponents of socialized medicine will resort to brazen attempts to force single-payer (total government control) of healthcare as the sensible, only practical recourse to “fix” the huge mess their very policy has created.  If Republicans take this issue seriously, the only option they should insist upon is a total repeal of this unworkable behemoth.  It remains to be seen if the political movers in the GOP can see beyond their own shallow political interests and really take this kind of stand, but failure to do so will unleash an unstoppable, derailment of the entire American healthcare train, which will happen over months.  This lengthy collapse will offer the Obama administration and the loyal Democratic party faithful many opportunities to spin the story and defuse, confuse and accuse, placing the blame on the GOP, the Tea Party, the evil insurance companies,  GWB, anyone who is not for socialized medicine.
