Implementation of the nation’s new healthcare plan, affectionately called Obamacare, has been postponed again because of flaws which continue to be uncovered, and it’s interesting to see attempts by the various recipients to position themselves in advance.

It’s safe to say that precious few really understand it, including Washington politicians who voted for it. Most haven’t truly absorbed the contents of the pages-long healthcare plan, nor had time to scrutinize all of the “what ifs’’ which always come with any new proposal. It is intended to provide medical insurance to millions of those currently uninsured and to require, by law, that everyone purchases insurance coverage at some level. It was marketed as the answer to all of our healthcare needs, good coverage at prices we could afford. However, some predict that the average American who currently carried medical insurance will pay more, not less – not good news for those already trying to do the right thing by protecting themselves and their family despite the staggering cost, while gritting their teeth that more and more folks are receiving medical treatment even though they have no insurance whatsoever. It’s understandable, then, that a plan which called for everyone paying what they could afford would, or should, have a positive impact on healthcare costs in this country.

We found it fascinating to read that some of Washington’s “very own’’ aren’t looking forward to Obamacare. The union that represents the IRS, which has been earmarked as “the enforcer’’ once the plan goes into effect to make sure everyone purchases insurance, is encouraging its members to oppose coverage for themselves. Interesting. Make sure others purchase it, but work to insure that you’re not part of it.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp has apparently introduced a bill which would, in essence, require all federal employees and lawmakers themselves, who currently have their own special coverage, to instead come under the umbrella of Obamacare like all the rest of us. It’s the only fair thing to do, but he’ll probably have a hard time gaining Congressional approval. He’s one of the few Washington insiders who believes that what’s good for the average, everyday working American should be good enough for them, too. We wholeheartedly agree.
