Obamacare is a mess: California official

Under mounting political pressure, President Obama announced Thursday the decision to grant a one-year reprieve on those health-care policies that would have otherwise been canceled under Obamacare.

Reports estimate 4 to 5 million cancellation notices have been issued nationwide to date — over a million expected in California alone.

"This is a mess…and it continues to get messier," said California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom on "The Kudlow Report."

Newsom said insurance policy cancellations were a mess, not Obamacare.

He also said he was in favor of the implementation of the ACA.

Let's get real, the cancellations are just part of strategy of opponents of the ACA.

Most of those policies that are being cancelled are junk policies that when the dust settles, will be replaced by better coverage from the state or national exchanges. And the people that are hollering about their cancelled policies will finally get that they were being duped by insurance companies.

It went in the "wrong" orifice, so it's no wonder it came out the same way. It looks and smells accordingly. It has its father's eyes, as Roman said in Rosemary's Baby - and just as one would reasonably expect. In matters of heredity, the so-called genetic fallacy isn't actually a fallacy.
