I'm not sure it's a "lie" as the author puts it, but I'll admit, this is a clever way to avoid the rate hikes that were inevitable and stave off the wave of fail that was headed to everyone on Obamacare, . Pain delayed is pain avoided, right? I didn't anticipate this, mostly because I didn't think they could get such a major amendment to the law in place after the fact with a GOP House. This is a major structural change. I mean, why did they pass the original bill in such shitty shape? Just pass a bare bones version and then get DHHS to amend it to oblivion after the fact!
