Obamacare Actually Cancels More Plans Than It Creates

Remember way back, a long time ago? Back when we were debating Obamacare having Obamacare shoved down our throats because it would result in more insured people? For our own good, of course.

Yeah, about that.

More than 4.7 million Americans had their health insurance canceled as a result of any of the thousand-plus-page law’s new rules, The Associated Press reports, but the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed Tuesday that between federal and state exchanges, just two million Americans have signed up for Obamacare coverage.

So, we're down 3 million insurance plans due to this law. I guess this is what the Ivy-League folks call a "sub-optimal" outcome, right? I'm only asking because I'm a moron from South Carolina.

Just to recap: Less people have insurance, it costs more, and it covers less.

That's one hellava a system you came up with, guys.

Occupy Columbia: When the Levy Breaks

To update you on the Occupy Columbia movement, the Occupiers had a small victory in Federal Court when Judge Currie basically allowed the Occupiers to stay on the Statehouse grounds because there were no written rules in place prohibiting camping.

So....the State is going to promulgate some rules. And the Occupiers, being Occupiers, are going to Occupy the meeting where the rules are going to be discussed. My prediction is that they make some noise, but accomplish little if nothing. Actually, that sounds like the entire movement so far.

At this point, I'm almost inclined to simply allow them to stay there as long as they want now that the winter months are bearing down upon us. If they want to camp out, that's fine. You know, the more I think about it, maybe there are some benefits to allowing folks to camp out at the Statehouse

Maybe I'll start a movement to allow people who drink to much in the Vista to sober up and sleep it off on the Statehouse Grounds. It's better than driving drunk, right? It's close, so you can walk it, and we can set up little "sober stations" with Waffle House food and Gatorade. We'll be "protesting" the fact that beer isn't free.
