Despite the efforts of its organizers, the rally failed. Congress caved and ObamaCare was launched. The ensuing fallout has been spectacular as insurance companies have canceled policies while rates and deductibles have skyrocketed. Even the program’s website has been a total debacle, adding some comedic relief to the unfurling tragedy. So now that the “last chance” effort has failed, is there nothing that can be done?
