Oh - and one other thing.. Could the Democrats be any more adept at shooting themselves in the foot?

I mean - let's assume for a moment that the claims of Obamacare starting to reign in costs is true (go with me here).

Much of the provisions of the bill don't take effect until 2014.

In the meantime, costs constinue to spiral.

How, exactly, did they think the public would react to this? It's like the bill had it's own suicide vest on - because people could justifiably keep complaining about escalating costs and other insurance company abuses while the law that was SUPPOSED to fix (or at least HELP) this situation just sits off in the corner saying "Nope - not yet. Wait.. Wait... 2 more years...."
