Give Even the Devil His Due

Regular TAH readers know I   hate ObamaCare with a passion    think ObamaCare is an idiotic, asinine abomination    don’t much care for ObamaCare.  And I think it’s rollout has been    as f’ed up as a football bat    exceedingly poorly managed and executed.  In fact, I really couldn’t think of anything that the    fools and tools    individuals responsible for ObamaCare had done correctly.

Until now.  This week, the Obama Administration did something laudable with ObamaCare.

No, they didn’t suspend it and call for Congress to repeal it.  But this week it was announced that for some 310,000 persons with inconsistent ObamaCare applications, submission of proof of citizenship or legal residence would be required.  If no proof of citizenship is submitted by 5 September, on 30 September their ObamaCare plans supposedly will be cancelled.

I’ll believe that when I see it happen, of course.  And I have no doubt this Administration will find multiple new and novel ways to screw this up by-the-numbers, too.  They’re damn good at that.

But give even the devil his due.  ObamaCare is massively FUBAR – but this is at least one tiny, baby step in the right direction.

Now, let’s see if we can “do the right thing” and put ObamaCare completely and permanently out of its misery.  Then burn the corpse, and bury the ashes in quicklime.
