I didn't guess this one
Based on the facts and connections, I
assumed from the start that Obamacare was a guaranteed monopoly for large insurance companies. The brand-R shouting about socialism reinforced this assumption. Presumably brand-R wanted
other insurance companies to retain their monopoly.
Nope, I assumed wrong. Truly didn't see this coming.
Turns out Obamacare is just a straightforward Mafia protection racket, pure Chicago politics. The only important part of the whole program is the waivers. If you contribute enough or have a good record of Party loyalty, your business or state or agency or union gets a waiver. If you're non-Party, no waiver for you.
