Did Obama Just Override the Supreme Court on Individual Mandate?

Obamacare is in shambles, as is the presidency of Obama, as after a protracted battle over the individual mandate, which went to the Supreme Court of the United States, and was reaffirmed as legal and necessary to the success of the law by the Court, Obama with a brazen act, simply wiped out the mandate he fought for for millions of Americans.

It just keeps getting more bizarre as the attempt to force health care on all Americans continues to fail.

Obama has made so many changes to the suggestion law, that it's even more confusing than it was before, as he continues to gut it on his own. Democrats who will oppose Republicans in 2014 are scrambling behind the scenes as they start to understand they will be voted out of office over the Obamacare debacle, which has been lied about by the President himself over promising no one would have to drop their existing plan if they didn't want to.

So many groups and people have been given exemptions from the individual mandate, I don't even know who has to line up with it at this time. I don't think the White House does either.

What is happening is if Obamacare rendered your existing health plan illegal, you now will be able to fore go the individual mandate without the government making you pay a fine as a result of taking that action. As I said, it keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Want a good laugh? Here's how a rushed release of the new ruling was written by the HHS and supported by the Senate Democrats. It says that those who "experienced financial or domestic circumstances, including an unexpected natural or human-caused event, such that he or she had a significant, unexpected increase in essential expenses that prevented him or her from obtaining coverage under a qualified health plan," can get an exemption from the individual mandate.

What's so hilarious about this? The ruling essentially admits and asserts that Obamacare is just such a human-caused event! In other words, the other lie about health care expenses not rising because of Obamacare was brought to light. The very action of HHS confirms Obamacare in fact did raise rates to the point they struggle to find an affordable replacement. Many can't find it, which is where much of the outrage comes from. People couldn't afford to pay for the expensive premium required to receive Obamacare. Obamacare was the cause for losing and not being able to afford insurance.

The purpose of exemptions was to help the poor who were in dire need of help; not to force people off of affordable insurance plans into plans they couldn't afford.

Even with the exemptions health care costs will still be more expensive than former insurance plans, and this "catastrophic" coverage won't include some of the mandates originally included in the individual mandate. Under the original plan Democrats even fought making this concession. Being on the verge of being voted out of office, they suddenly got concession religion.

This is going to continue to get worse, as Americans start to realize some people are getting exemptions at the expense of others. Who's going to pay for all of this in light of this?

Before it was thought younger people would pay for it, but if they get significant exemptions, how will health care for the sicker, elderly be paid for?

If you don't see this as an act of desperation by the White House and Obama, you don't understand the severity of this action by HHS and the president. There is no doubt Obamacare could end up being shut down after all. This is the only explanation for why there is such as drastic change in direction; one which literally opposes what the White House fought for before the Supreme Court. A growing number of people are getting angry, and it's a bi-partisan anger that will punish the Democrats in the next election, as it should.

Republicans wisely voted against the disaster as a block. They'll rightly remind the public of that fact going forward.

The ongoing risk is Obamacare will be changed at a whim by Obama based upon political winds brought to his attention by his own party. There is no doubt we could see an extraordinary even in the elections of the near future, and it appears there is absolutely nothing that the Democrats can do about it.

Amazingly Obama is step-by-step doing to his own health care plan what the Republicans were trying to do by changing the law.

Unfortunately for most Americans, we'll have to pay the price for Obamacare until we demand it be totally abandoned. That won't happen until the majority start to feel the pain of much higher prices. From the way things are going, that shouldn't take too long. Prepare for some financial pain. It's coming.
