This Is Not A Monarchy Watch: panicky HHS just making up Laws

MOE LANE: This Is Not A Monarchy Watch: panicky HHS just making up new #obamacare ‘laws’ on the spot. “To the best of my knowledge, they don’t have this authority. Which leads me to my question: What makes the government officials implementing this policy think that they are immune from prosecution for any laws that they break while following the administration’s orders? – And don’t say that they don’t have to worry about that. After February 2017, Barack Obama won’t be able to fix a parking ticket.”

HAVE WE REACHED PEAK SCHADENFREUDE YET? “Many in New York’s professional and cultural elite have long supported President Obama’s health care plan. But now, to their surprise, thousands of writers, opera singers, music teachers, photographers, doctors, lawyers and others are learning that their health insurance plans are being canceled and they may have to pay more to get comparable coverage, if they can find it.”

Tom Maguire emails: “ObamaCare is a riddle wrapped inside a joke wrapped inside a laughtrack.”

UPDATE: Okay, this quote was too good not to bring in: “Ms. Meinwald, the lawyer, said she was a lifelong Democrat who still supported better health care for all, but had she known what was in store for her, she would have voted for Mitt Romney. It is an uncomfortable position for many members of the creative classes to be in.”
