Obamacare & Origins of Nazi Holocaust - Eugenics / Euthanesia. HealthCare.gov: How political fear was pitted against technical needs. In May 2010, two months after the Affordable Care Act squeaked through Congress, President Obama’s top economic aides were getting worried. Larry Summers, director of the White House’s National Economic Council, and Peter Orszag, head of the Office of Management and Budget, had just received a pointed four-page memo from a trusted outside health adviser. It warned that no one in the administration was “up to the task” of overseeing the construction of an insurance exchange and other intricacies of translating the 2,000-page statute into reality. Summers, Orszag and their staffs agreed.
For weeks that spring, a tug of war played out inside the White House, according to five people familiar with the episode.

Obama Officials In 2010: 93 Million Americans Will Be Unable To Keep Their Health Plans Under Obamacare. 140,000 Minnesotans discover they can’t “keep your plan” Posted at 10:01 am on October 31, 2013 by Ed Morrissey Few states are as reliably Democratic in presidential elections than my state of Minnesota.
We haven’t voted for a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972, whose claim not to be a crook was a pre-eminent example of a presidential whopper until just recently. Minnesota is the only state not to have voted for Ronald Reagan at least once. The Land of 10,000 Frozen Lakes voted enthusiastically for Barack Obama in both elections, buoyed at least in part by his promise to reform the health-care system without creating any headaches for its consumers.
