ObamaCare: A disaster in waiting

Last Friday President Barack Obama tried to wipe off the muck on his face after falling in it over ObamaCare by forcing religious institutions to sin in the form of providing free contraception and abortion services.

It's unknown just exactly what the president's new "compromise" deal is other than, magically, religious organization won't pay for the contracepttion/abortion services directly, but only indirectly.

You don't have to be quick-as-a-wink to figure out how that went over.

The U.S. Catholic church greeted the "compromise" as even more of an insult and a clear indication that this president doesn't get it when it comes to guarding freedom of religion and people of conscience.

(As an aside, Sen. Harry Reid has so far supported the president on this abortion stance. It further draws attention to what must be a widening gap between Sen. Reid and his church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.)

The Complete Las Vegan draws your attention to MSNBC's "Morning Joe" for an excellent discussion from both points of view. It's a few minutes long, so stick with it.

Toward the end you will find Jim Cramer chime in on a point that I figure will be a big issue as the year progresses: The negative effect ObamaCare will have on jobs and the economy. Cramer warns clearly that the primary promise of ObamaCare -- that it will be good for the people and the economy -- is likely not true. It's going to result in higher health costs, lower quality care and fewer jobs.
