It's Not A Bug, It's a Feature
The Wall Street Journal is predicting a Class War:
The ObamaCare fight is turning hot and heavy. House Republicans have made an implausible threat to shut down the government to defund ObamaCare, but a plausible motive is to create fear, uncertainty and doubt (which already exists in abundance regarding ObamaCare) during the crucial sign-up period that begins next month.
On the flip side, the administration's last-minute decision not to require income documentation in the first year can only do wonders for enrollment. A handy Kaiser Family Foundation calculator shows how:
A single person who estimates his 2014 income as $33,000 would get a measly $6. Change the estimate to $30,000 and, hey, get $507.
This is war—turning sectors of the economy into partisan battlefields is a cost of their agenda that liberals, with their pure faith in "programs," never factor in. But wars also have a way of leading to unexpected outcomes.
