In
late April Anthem Insurance had a 39% rate increase turned down by the
California commissariat, and Obama called for an investigation of
the company's officers. At the time I thought three things, in
this order:
- You'da thunk California would have learned a lesson
about ignoring market forces, from the the Gray Davis era energy
crisis. Remember? The state suffered from multiple
large-scale black-outs,
one of the state's largest energy companies collapsed? Governor Davis was recalled, and replaced by the Trickenator.
- This is exactly what Obamunists want. Insurance companies go bust, gummint has a monopoly.
- Thug
I was reminded of this after reading this Doug Ross beauty.
Obama is, as we speak, crowing about how we have already begun to reap the Obamacare reward. Here's Mr. Ross again.

Like the Soviet central planners of a bygone era, today's Democrats are
marching us into an abyss of unintended consequences for our entire
health care system. They're pushing us, shoving us, against our will,
over a cliff of fiscal irresponsibility. They're killing a legacy of
prosperity that we could otherwise bequeath to subsequent generations.

Here's the deal. If the opposition party does not gain control of
congress in Novemeber, and repeal Obamacare (and just about everything
else Obamunists have grabbed), then XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
