Reid: More funding needed to avoid KingKare train wreck

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he shares colleagues’ concerns that the Affordable Care Act could become a “train wreck” if it’s not implemented properly.

Reid warned that people will not be able to choose health insurance plans on government health exchanges if federal authorities lack the resources to set them up and educate the public.

“Max said unless we implement this properly it’s going to be a train wreck and I agree with him,” Reid said, echoing a warning delivered last month by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.).

Reid warned the federal government is not spending enough money to implement the law because of Republican opposition to ObamaCare.

“Here’s what we have now, we have the menu but we don’t have any way to get to the menu,” Reid said.

Reid made his comments during an hour-long interview on The Rusty Humphries Show broadcast Wednesday afternoon from Las Vegas.

The shortage of funding to implement the law has forced President Obama to shift funds from other parts of the law.

“The president is taking money, I wish we had the money just to do this on its own but he’s agreed, he’s determined he’s going to take money from some of the other things that he feels are less important in the healthcare bill and put it on letting you and others know what’s in the bill,” Reid told a caller to the show.

Reid defended the need for the law, which dramatically expanded federal healthcare subsidies for the uninsured.

“I believe that a country of our size, the only superpower left in the world — it’s not right that we have 50-60 million people … with no health insurance,” he said. “We have to have a program where health insurance shouldn’t go to people who are rich, people who are upper-middle class. I believe the middle class and people below the middle class deserve to go to the hospital when they’re sick.”

Reid said he was well familiar with the law, which spanned as long as 2,000 pages when it was a bill, before it passed.

“Of course I read it. I didn’t sit down on a Friday evening and read it. This legislation was drafted over a period of months and months,” he said. “I can pass a test on it, I knew the law pretty well.”

And true to form, just like the Whiner-in-Chief, it's the pubs fault that this will be a train wreck. What a pathetic bunch of losers from the head on down.

The buck stops no where near any of them.

The United States of America is a gigantic ship bumbling across the ocean on a rudderless course. Not having any leader at all would be bad enough, but having the totally inept leadership now in charge is worse yet. With the Obama administration, not only are we sailing in drunken erratic fashion, but we are taking on water which will eventually sink the ship.

It's amazing the parallels I see between what's happening in the US and what has happened here over the last 14 years.

There is one big difference though.

Venezuela has the resources, a relatively small population, and it now appears the will to find its way out of the wilderness. If a dictatorship on the part of Maduro can be avoided, the insanity here will most certainly be stopped.

The US is headed in the exact opposite direction.....dwindling resources, an exploding population soon to be overwhelmed by undocumented democrats and no will to reverse course.

It's full steam ahead onto the reef.

One has to wonder if the Dems don't have enough funds to implement the stupid plan how in SAM H*LL did they think they would have enough money to provide healthcare to 30 to 40 million more people? :roll:

NOT well thought out or they were completely lying about the true cost and figured if the voters were in for a buck, the trillion OR TWO it would take to carry out their pipedream would go unnoticed. :roll:

And isn't it funny how Obama could not move money around at the FAA to keep American travelers safe but he can sure move any and all funds he wants around to protect his signature boondoggle. :roll:
