Everyone in Pundit World is clucking over the latest extension for folks to finish enrolling in Obamacare. An extra two weeks! This is an outrage!
We cats say, big woo. We don't understand why the whole world seems to have adopted the Republican line of thinking: That it's a terrible, terrible thing to give people more time to get health coverage.
Wait — we do understand. It's because we Democrats are wusses. Why don't we ever push back on this stuff?
After all, Republicans are equally guilty of breaking the rules when it comes to healthcare. Remember Medicare Part D, when they left the vote open on the House floor for three hours so they could round up support they didn't have? One Republican — yes, Republican — called it "the worst abuse of the legislative process I have seen during my 20 years in Congress."
So let's all just grab our fans and smelling salts — and remember that, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, millions of Americans will be able to live better lives. Which, according to the GOP's Hobbesian playbook, just can't be allowed. We cats HISS.
