What about the businesses that are cutting people’s hours to avoid facing the law? What about the people who will have to pay a penalty if they don’t want it? Can people really be smart consumers when the choices they will have to make are so complicated? Can you guys run it okay? Why is all of this so hard? Then he summed up the problem in a nutshell. “So this is a system that has been jerry-rigged to deal with the crazy people.” Obamacare was jerry-rigged in a country where single-payer health care is not an option. It was jerry-rigged to deal not only with the crazy people, but with the doctors’ lobby, the pharma lobby and a thousand other interest groups. It was arguably the best shot Mr. Obama had at bringing decent health care to everyone. But even its supporters admit that it’s a big, ugly hairball. And, as Mr. Stewart said, fighting off the crazy people is frustrating when you have to defend something so flawed.
