The Obamacare Doomsday Scenario Is Gone. Disappeared. No Longer Exists

Alan: What are we to make of American conservatism's lunatic alarmism?
It's like living with someone who has Bipolar Disease.
Oppositional Defiant Disorder is also "in play."

"Conservatives Scare More Easily Than Liberals"


The Obamacare doomsday scenario slips away. "Last night, Douglas Kamerow and I debated Megan McArdle and Scott Gottlieb at Intelligence Squared over the notion, "Obamacare is now beyond rescue." Intelligence Squared picked the topic two months ago, when the website was still broken, insurers were frantic, congressional Democrats were in a full-scale panic, and it seemed genuinely possible to many people that the law would simply fail. The arguments McArdle and Gottlieb made last night bore little resemblance to the sorts of failure predictions that were widely circulating last November. Many of their arguments simply took issue with the law's goals." Jonathan Chait in New York Magazine
