ObamaCare Is Not a Covenant - It's a Law, and It Can Be Repealed

Rick Newman of Yahoo! Finance offers his solutions to "fix" ObamaCare in his November 6 column.  In his opening statement, you will find all you need to know about how the media perceive its immovable status as law:
As clumsy as the launch of the Affordable Care Act has been, the law is here to stay.  But its numerous provisions aren't written in stone and President Obama himself has said he's willing to change the law in the future in order to make it work better.
"Clumsy" doesn't quite capture what the ObamaCare rollout has been, but this is what passes for harsh criticism among mainstream pundits.  More correctly, the launch has been an incompetent and hopeless failure, and that fact is so obvious that Barack Obama, who is not known for his humility, has no other choice beyond admitting that he's open and willing to make changes in his flagship legislation for it to "work better."  Which is akin to me saying that I'd be willing to have a mechanic look at my car and make some changes because it hasn't started in weeks, the brakes and steering column don't appear operative, and I can expect that what I'll be paying in gas if it does crank up will cripple me financially due to its bulky engine design, which obviously wasn't thought out very well.   
In both cases, a resolution to make "changes" to improve functionality is less a sign of humility and level-headedness and more a sign of, and natural reaction to, poor decision-making.  And sometimes, when a poor decision is made in selecting vehicles, it's smarter and less costly to buy a new car than rebuild a lemon.  At the very least, it should be an option taken into consideration.
