Obamacare could only be sold with a pack of lies. One was that the final bill foreclosed the public option (i.e., government-sponsored insurance). Not so. It’s back by virtue of administrative wizardry and hair-splitting. This is another stunning breach of the rule of law by the Obama administration (an earlier breach being the IRS rule allowing Obamacare subsidies to flow in states that refuse to establish their own exchanges in blatant violation of the statute). The contempt for law and We the People never ends with Obamacare.
““The Obama Administration is preparing for the federal government’s impending role as the primary sponsor of two new multistate health insurance plans that will be available for individuals and small businesses to purchase under Obamacare’s statewide insurance exchanges in 2014.””
““Although they are not exactly the same, the nationwide plans do somewhat resemble the government-run “public option” that some congressional Democrats advocated during the Obamacare debate.””
