The Patriot Post® · O'care's Greatest Liability: O'care

In 2010, Mark Alexander made the case that the enactment of the so-called “Affordable Healthcare Act” would come with dire consequences for Democrats, far beyond its disastrous rollout and other “up front” liabilities. Alexander recently wrote, “From October 1 forward, Americans of every political stripe who have any issue with health care will tie blame for their discontent like a noose around the necks of Obama and his Democrats, who enacted it, and more recently refused to defund or delay it.” Indeed, Lanhee Chen, Hoover Institution Fellow and Stanford Professor of Public Policy, argues that Republicans need to get out of the way and let ObamaCare become a political liability for the Left. Chen notes, “Let’s fight ObamaCare by getting out of the way. … Republicans can still use Obamacare’s failings to their advantage, but it will require a disciplined, realistic approach. And it means recognizing the impossibility of large-scale changes to the law while Barack Obama is president.” Indeed, when your adversary is self destructing, don’t interfere!
