Opinion in Brief

David Limbaugh: “Many pundits assume that if left alone, Obamacare will continue to unravel and disintegrate, but another school of thought says that it has already sustained the worst and will survive. I don’t know about you, but I would never want to bet against the survival of any government entitlement program. Legislators will always figure out a way to bail it out, or, if it is beyond all repair, they might just take the easy route and opt for a single-payer system, which was Obama’s plan all along. That’s the worst of all worlds. … Don’t ever underestimate the formidability of the media-enabled Democratic propaganda machine. If Republicans don’t get their act together now, they may not ever get another chance to prevent socialized medicine in this country. We’ll never have a better chance to make market-based health care reforms if we don’t pass the best bill possible now, for at least two reasons: First, Republicans will be punished for incompetence and betrayal in the next election. And second, there will be a point beyond which market reforms can’t feasibly be made.”
