The Libertarian Podcast: “Is The ObamaCare Debate Over?”

 

After the recent announcement of ObamaCare’s enrollment numbers, President Obama crowed that the debate about repealing ObamaCare was over. The president clearly didn’t pay very close attention during his time at the University of Chicago, or he would’ve known that no debate is over when Richard Epstein is on the other side of it.

This week, Richard walks us through how to think about the enrollment numbers, explains what defects are likely to emerge as the program gets more fully implemented, and lays out his predictions for how ObamaCare could eventually come undone.

    Are you saying that Prof. Epstein, like Walter White from Breaking Bad, takes the following approach to the end of debate?

    The question of whether one should take anything that Obama says seriously is almost laughable.  We are living in a politically Third World country where leaders say whatever they want to and no one in the press challenges them. The White House has become the theater of the absurd, the Senate under Harry Reid is a joke, completely disconnected from the people who elected them while they, the senators,  accumulate obscene wealth.

    Perhaps also true a fortiori of BHO.  Prof. Epstein once said on Law Talk that while Obama was good at listening and could restate an opponent’s position, so far as he knew, Obama never changed his mind about anything.  That attitude is shown now in BHO’s standard rebuttal to counter-arguments:  “The debate is over.  Shut up.”
