Are Republicans fooling themselves about ObamaCare?

Byron York, Jewish World Review

quote:

a lot of thoughtful conservatives are looking beyond Oct. 1 to Jan. 1, the day the law (except for the parts the president has unilaterally postponed) is scheduled to go fully into effect. On that day the government will begin subsidizing health insurance for millions of Americans. (A family of four with income as high as $88,000 will be eligible for subsidies.) When people begin receiving that entitlement, the dynamics of the Obamacare debate will change.

comment:

Yeah.  They should shut the government down and refuse to implement the law.  But they won't do that.

The above scenario just looks flat out insane to me.  Why should the government be subsidizing anybody with that much income?  It will be popular, though.  They'll be plenty of pigs lining up at the trough to feed.  There's no excuse for people with the means to pay for their own stuff to receive any kind of aid from the government.
