A day after he questioned President Obama’s decision to unwind a major tenet of the health-care law and said the nation’s capital might not go along, D.C. insurance commissioner William P. White was fired.

White was called into a meeting Friday afternoon with one of Mayor Vincent C. Gray’s (D) top deputies and told that the mayor “wants to go in a different direction,” White told The Washington Post on Saturday.

White said the mayoral deputy never said that he was being asked to leave because of his Thursday statement on health care. But he said the timing was hard to ignore. Roughly 24 hours later, White said, he was “basically being told, ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’ ”

White was one of the first insurance commissioners in the nation last week to push back against Obama’s attempt to smooth over part of the botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act: millions of unexpected cancellations of insurance plans.

He should have known better than to speak out against our dear leader.
Before long we'll be like N Korea, the state will simply execute dissenters.
 
You have to appreciate the fact that the only person so far whose head has rolled due to the disastrous obamacare rollout is someone who had nothing to do with it.

Only government could ever be this hopelessly inept.

They may do it a "kinder" way than North Korea. Here's an idea:

Separating you from your doctor (i.e., why even go to the doctor now?)

Making health insurance too costly for middle class people to afford (i.e., why have it? Might as well hope for the best)

Destroying the medical community, and causing someone to have to wait 18 weeks for an appointment to see a specialist (i.e., "screw it. I can't wait that long. Maybe it will go away...")

Oh wait! I think we have something like that now. And it's called the "Affordable" "care" act.:mad:
