That light at the end of the Obamacare tunnel? It's an oncoming train.
A senior Democratic senator who helped write President Obama's health care law stunned administration officials Wednesday, saying openly he thinks it's headed for a "train wreck."
"I just see a huge train wreck coming down," Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., told Obama's health care chief during a routine budget hearing that suddenly turned tense.
Normally low-key and supportive, Baucus challenged Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at Wednesday's hearing.
He said he's "very concerned" that new health insurance marketplaces for consumers and small businesses will not open on time in every state, and that if they do, they might just flop because residents don't have the information they need to make choices.
"The administration's public information campaign on the benefits of the Affordable Care Act deserves a failing grade," he told Sebelius.
Maybe he should've found out what was in it before he passed it. Because only an idiot would believe that the same people who brought us the Post Office and the DMV could ever manage our health care system.
And I might even believe that Baucus was being sincere, except he's up for re-election next year and the folks back home in Montana hate Obamacare with a white-hot passion. So I suspect Baucus's faux-outrage is nothing more than political kabuki, a smokescreen to fool low-information voters.
Dear Montana, please don't fall for his theatrics. Signed, America.
