Obama-Speak Defies Logic
Victor Davis Hanson on BO’s insurance rebranding.
Historian Victor Davis Hanson: “The Obama administration once gave us ‘man-caused disasters’ for acts of terrorism and ‘workplace violence’ for the Fort Hood shootings. Now it has trumped those past linguistic contortions by changing words to mask the Obamacare disaster. … The newly canceled health plans are suddenly rebranded by the administration as ‘subpar.’ Only in autumn 2013 is the supposedly unaware public told that, years ago, ‘bad apple’ insurance companies sold them ‘substandard’ plans. … From the very beginning, Obamacare defied the laws of common sense and basic logic. Providing more coverage for more people cannot result in radical reductions in costs, as promised – unless a shopper normally can buy more and better groceries for cheaper prices. How logical was expecting indebted young people to voluntarily pay more for insurance they would rarely use in order to pay for others to use it a lot?”
