If Businesses Get Relief from Obamacare, the Rest of America Should Too
◼ BOEHNER TO OBAMA: WHY A BREAK FOR BUSINESSES ONLY? - AP
If the White House can grant a one-year delay for employers - as the administration did just last week - individuals should get the same consideration, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and other senior Republicans said in a letter to the president.
"Your decision to delay one part of the law affecting employers and leave in place provisions regulating individual and family health care creates many new questions and concerns," the GOP leaders wrote. "We agree with you that the burden was overwhelming for employers, but we also believe American families need the same relief."
The White House had no immediate response to Boehner's demand.
◼ Obamacare called ‘The fiasco for the ages’ - Wesley Pruden/Washington Times
Pundits and professors are rifling through the thesaurus, looking for the right word to describe what the Wall Street Journal calls “a fiasco for the ages.” The Journal editorialists reminded everyone that they “fought the Affordable Care Act from start to passage, and we’d like to apologize to our readers. It turns out we weren’t nearly critical enough.”
The editors of The New York Times, Mr. Obama’s most reliable sycophants, are deep in mourning, but working furiously to apply more rouge to the corpse before it turns the parlor too fragrant for a wake. It’s summer, and they’re running out of ice.
