About a month ago I caught the last part of a radio interview explaining the process. It boggled the mind even though the person explaining some of the mechanisms did so simply and in a straightforward manner. From the sound of it unraveling ObamaCare would have to be a multi-step process.
Because ObamaCare has been implemented using a combination of law, executive orders, executive whim, tricks, reconciliation, etc. no single new law can wipe out ObamaCare in one fell swoop. It could only wipe out big chunks of ObamaCare. The rest would need to get pruned away using similar gimmicks as when implemented.
The radio host helped us slow witted listeners out greatly by using an example. "If I have 3 items I bought but now want to return, I can't just take them to a single store to get my money back. I'll need to go to each of the 3 separate stores from which I bought the items to return them back." The guest replied, yes, same general idea.
At least I could grasp the general gist of it all. He went on to explain that it gets crazy complicated when you begin to factor in various issues such as Medicare, state budgets, hospitals, drug companies, private practice doctors, etc. all which have been greatly affected over the past 7 years. You can't just "un-retire" all the private practice doctors who quit in disgust over ObamaCare, for example. That horse has left the barn.
It was a great interview and gave me a lot to think about. Which eventually got me thinking about sausage making. You can't unmake sausage and put the parts back where they came from.
