A Parable
You want to go on a trip. You think Hawaii would be great. It's beautiful and sunny and warm. Lots of people go there. Your wife says no, no, no, it's too expensive, and you'll never get a hotel room. You say, I need a vacation. She says, you do not. Vacations are stupid. Finally she says, okay, you need a vacation? Let's go to Alaska. I really want to go to Alaska. I LOVE Alaska.
You book your trip to Alaska, really glad that she finally agreed.
Then she leaves you.
You go to Alaska by yourself. You think, so what if that b---- left me! I'm gonna have a good time. Your ship gets locked into the ice and starts to sink. You tell the Captain, are you kidding me?! He says, what kind of idiot would book a trip to Alaska anyway?
And that is how America got Obamacare.
