#ObamaCare River of Lies Rolls On

So, after all the Individual Mandate faffing about, Hot Air reports that as many as 90% may not get nicked with a penalty (for now):

The Obama administration has provided 14 ways people can avoid the fine based on hardships, including suffering domestic violence, experiencing substantial property damage from a fire or flood, and having a canceled insurance plan. Those come on top of exemptions carved out under the 2010 law for groups including illegal immigrants, members of Native American tribes and certain religious sects…
. . .
Critics have assailed one exemption for people who “experienced another hardship obtaining health insurance” as too broad. That exemption asks for documentation if possible but doesn’t require it.

To summarize, Obama is taking your liberty and training you to accept being spared the whip as an ersatz liberty substitute.
In defense of Obama, if the American people are retarded enough to stand for this, then DOOM ON US.

    I wish I could show up to work whenever I felt like it and change the policies and rules just because they were inconvenient for what I was doing. And it would be awesome if I could get out of work to go do one of my hobbies, like paddleboarding or video games or hiking. How would it be to get paid to be a complete screw-up and then have the brass balls to tell people the only reason they have a problem with you is because they’re racist?

    Obama is playing Three Card Monte with us on health care.
