Baucus warns of ‘huge train wreck’ enacting ObamaCare provisions
Guess someone should have taken the time to read the bill before they signed it

Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said Wednesday he fears a “train wreck” as the Obama administration implements its signature healthcare law.
Baucus, the chairman of the chamber’s powerful Finance Committee and a key architect of the healthcare reform law, said he fears people do not understand how the law will work.
“I just see a huge train wreck coming down,” he told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a Wednesday hearing. “You and I have discussed this many times, and I don’t see any results yet.”
Baucus pressed Sebelius for details about how the Health Department will explain the law and raise awareness of its provisions, which are supposed to take effect in just a matter of months.
“I’m very concerned that not enough is being done so far — very concerned,” Baucus said.
Everyone who voted for this bill without reading it should be FIRED. If you hired someone to do a job and they screwed up because they didn’t read a document that was fundamentally and obviously necessary for them to read and understand, wouldn’t you fire them? Everyone hates congress but keeps reelecting their own representatives — time to change course.
