Well, it seems as if Obamacare is at last on its death bed. Without the "individual mandate" in place, the signature legislation of the Obama administration will not have sufficient funds from policyholders to continue its existence. The House of Representatives and the Senate will never allocate additional funding to make up for the shortfall in getting Obamacare up and running. What were the Democrats thinking?

Why on earth should Pelosi and Reid think heath insurance would be any different?
