Washington DC’s insurance commissioner fired one day after criticizing Barack Obama’s Obamacare “fix”

  After Barack Obama announced his extra-constitutional “fix” to Obamacare in a press conference last week, which was clearly an attempt to undermine the House’s proposed constitutional legislative fix, Washington DC’s insurance commissioner spoke out against Barack Obama’s proposed fix.

After that press conference, White, according to the Post, said Obama’s “action today undercuts the purpose of the exchanges, including the District’s DC Health Link, by creating exceptions that make it more difficult for them to operate.”

He also said that he concurred with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’s assessment that Obama’s administrative fix “threatens to undermine the new market, and may lead to higher premiums and market disruptions in 2014 and beyond.”

    One day after criticizing the Dear Leader for his proposed “fix” William White was fired by DC Mayor Vincent Gray:

William P. White, the D.C. insurance commissioner, told the Washington Post that D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray’s top deputies said Gray “wants to go in a different direction” after White was one of the first commissioners to push back against Obama’s “fix.”

Though White said he was not told that he was specifically fired for his criticism, he “said the timing was hard to ignore.” He said that 24 hours after his criticism, he was ‘basically being told, ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’”

  I happen to agree with William White: while Vincent Gray did not cite William White’s opposition to Barack Obama’s proposed power grab as the reason behind his firing the timing is just too suspicious to think this is nothing but yet another coincidence.

  Such is life for political opponents under a dictatorship…..
