This Is DFL Government

You, the DFL voter, wanted a government-managed healthcare market?  You got it!

And we’re all paying for it!

Health insurers are hiking premiums and limiting enrollment in Minnesota’s individual market next year, with regulators saying the emergency measures were needed to avert a market collapse.

The moves are a clear sign that the market for some 250,000 people who buy coverage for themselves is dysfunctional and needs reform, said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman during a Friday news conference.

While rate increases of more than 50 percent aren’t fair to consumers, Rothman said, things could have been worse. He described a period this summer when all health insurers in the state seemed prepared to abandon that segment of the market.

Elections have consequences; as former New York mayor Ed Koch put it, “the voters have spoken, and now they must accept the consequences”.

It’d be nice if those consequences didn’t botch up everyone else’s life.

    “Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance.”

    -Nancy Pelosi

    Before showing any interviews with Pelosi, or even any pictures of her, people should be reminded that Pelosi was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, has never had to work a minute for what she has, and that she is married to a contractor and developer who grew wealthy off of her political connections.
    She probably honestly believes that people would become photographers or writers if they didn’t have to work. I think the stupid woman has been infected by an old sociology theory, out of fashion since at least the 1950s, that said that criminality is an artistic, creative act that people engage in when society fails to see to their economic needs.

    All I can say is thank God Nikki Haley told Barry and his filthy tribe of anti-American reprobates to pound Obamacare up their asses.

    It gets better than, “Help us GOP, you’re our only hope.” It started as, “It’s the GOP’s fault! They’ve wanted it to fail from the beginning, and they’ve done everything they could to ensure that it did.” (Everything they did was pretty much sitting back and not fixing it.)

    Response from the GOP: just take up one of the bills the House of Representatives has passed to repeal it. Problem solved.

    And the great unspoken (but starting to be murmured about) solution to all this: We need single payer, publicly subsidized, socialized, government supplied and managed health insurance and care.

    As we have been predicting since Obamacare was still just a twinkle in his eye.

    I read a comment earlier today about how it was so wonderful the last time this guy visited Sweden, how they have FREE health care. Yeah, FREE if you like paying 70% or more of your income in various taxes.

    Bill C, that’s the thing. The liberals who want free (sic) health care, think that someone else is going to pay for it. They don’t know that your number is correct. The middle class pays a 70% tax.

    Did you know that Texas residents fund its state government withWITHOUT PAYING INCOME TAX? It’s true!

    Anyone who says that Minnesota needs an income tax is a liar, Texas proves it! Also, Texas has a large supply of affordable housing, and since correlation is causation, that means STATE INCOME TAXES DECREASE THE SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING!
    Don’t believe me? I’ll show you the math:
    Let h = supply of affordable housing, l = local income tax, k = some constant.
    Then h = k/l.
    The higher the value of l, the lower the value of h.
    I love math because it proves things.
