Even if that proves to be the case, in a truncating of Obamacare, and it would be welcome, there are, nevertheless, plenty of other government-intrusive, central-planning and rationing schemes still afloat.
AND: Stunts like these pulled by Houston’s idiot congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee don’t help a bit.

Years ago, when the organic foods chain had just one store in Austin, it seemed wildly overpriced to me. But the Birkenstock crowd loved it. Now some of them are boycotting it because its CEO John Mackey dares oppose Obamacare. Oops.
The whither we know. Waxman-the-ferret, et al. But why? Nevermind the contradictary nonsense about how the system is broken but, oh yes, you’ll get to keep your part of it all the same. This fellow, Daniel Hannan, southwest England’s rep in the European Parliament, has the answer, though you have to listen to the whole thing to get to the point. But it’s not painful, except when you imagine our future under Obamacare.
The Brit health care system, Hannan says, employs 1.4 million managers. Making it the third largest organization in the world, after the Red Army and the Indian National Railway. Think of how many more managers our National Health Care system will have, and, like most federal employees, they will be ninety-percent Democrats. Get the point now? Obamacare is a hiring hall for his party.

"Just Say No," the Tea Party crowd chanted at him in South Austin yesterday. He’s a lot more used to chants of "No Justice, No Peace," which is his preferred kind of crowd. But he seemed to be a good sport about it. Not running away, not hiding in his car. I don’t agree with his politics–it’ll take a lot more than chanting to get him to vote against Obamacare, for instance–but I have to admit Lloyd’s a reasonably nice fellow.
UPDATE: Power Line’s headline "Blue Doggett Democrat" seems to be meant to be cute. Lloyd is super liberal, and no Blue Dog of any kind.

Bobby Jindal’s plan looks more sensible (if still complex) than any Barry-Nancy secret one.
