Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary, resigning, does make for some interesting thoughts.
First, as I said yesterday and have BEEN saying for years, now.., Obamacare was designed to fail, since the ultimate goal here is outright government control of healthcare at a single payer level, and removing all private insurance companies from the process. In short, taking the best healthcare system in the world, and placing it on a level of mediocrity matching any other third world nation. Welcome, dear Friends to “Hope and Change”
Second, let us postulate for a moment on her replacement. The position of HHS Secretary under Obama going…. (Leaning?)…. Forward, is rather like handing over the captaincy of the Titanic AFTER it has struck the iceberg. The person assuming command knows the whole thing is going under, and they’ll be taking at least part of the blame. One must assume that only a true apparatchik would assume such a position. One imagines easily the kind of cold fish needed to take on such an assignment. No matter how many people get hurt or die, the political goal must be achieved, “for the greater good”.
The problem here, of course, is Obama policy. In fairness, no by could have done the job better than Sebilius did. Does anyone think that the new appointee will be allowed any serious policy changes, any new goal, any hint of reversing the monster known as Obamacare? I think not.
In the end, this is all just theatre, because no real change away from this utter disaster will be forthcoming, before Obama’s eviction notice takes effect.
