Where is Runnymede?

Do we need to find another Runnymede? Does the King have total sway, what can the Barons do?, The Earls? The current disaster on Health Care was discussed here almost five years ago. This issue and hundreds of others yet to come in a Law that was ill conceived, filled with special interest gifts, overwhelmed with Government controls, and burdened with costs for the consumer and the Economy which will drag the country down for decades if not the rest of the Century.

The Constitution gives to Congress the sole right to write and amend the laws of this land. Not to the executive. But in this case it appears as if this is governing by disaster management. There is no surprise here. 

Health Care is a critical issue. But so too is its implementation. For such a complex system a step by step approach works. Even more so a State by State approach works. But an instant overhaul by people who have no clue and worse no competence will not.

For example the chief technical person seems to have but an economics degree from Harvard. This may not be the background one needs to manage a massive software development, possibly the largest undertaken by the Government, an entity not known for such complex projects to begin with. 

We now have in the span of a month almost a half dozen back steps; web site, individual plans, union plans, small business plans, and corporate plans. Yes we allow 26 year olds to stay with mom and dad. Perhaps we should have lowered the age rather than increasing it and forcing them to find a job! But allowing them to stay was a backdoor way not to burden them so that they would be insured at the new rates no matter what. It would be an added burden on parents.

For those who think this solves the problem, you have just begun the trip down the rabbit hole.
