It just keeps getting worse. When Nancy Pelosi said "you'll find out what's in it after you pass it", she meant to say "we will do whatever we want".
After a report last week that rising insurance premiums would drive employers to dump 90 percent of workers’ health care plans by 2020, the IRS went into damage control mode using its preferred course of action: executive fiat.
The agency was quick to announce a ruling that forbids employers from doing what they were planning on doing, namely, shifting employees onto the ObamaCare exchanges with a tax-free cash contribution to make up the premium difference. The penalty for disobedience is a fine of $100 per day per employee.
By now, it’s become almost impossible to keep up with the number of rules and revisions coming either from the White House or from unelected bureaucrats in an effort to “fix” the clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk that is ObamaCare. Apart from the flat out illegality of such rulings (the power to make and amend laws is vested in Congress, not the President, and certainly not the IRS) this pattern reveals the fundamental problem with trying to centrally micromanage complex systems, and there are few systems more complex than the American health care market.
