"They define a republic to be a government of laws, and not of men." --John Adams
Another week, another behind-the-scenes bureaucratic change to ObamaCare. Barack Obama continues to use power he doesn't have to alter the deal, making changes to his signature health care law to suit his political ends. To quote Lando Calrissian in "The Empire Strikes Back" after Darth Vader changed the terms of an agreement, "This deal is getting worse all the time."
Shortly after last week's announced one-yeardelay of the employer mandate, the White House embellished the typical Friday afternoon news dump with an extra special one on the day after Independence Day. The new announcement: The Obama Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will no longer attempt to verify eligibility for individual insurance subsidies, opting instead to go with the honor system -- at least until 2015. Talk about opening the doors to fraud, and, therefore, even more skyrocketing costs. Wasn't this called the "AffordableCare Act"?
