The firestorm over President Obama's "you can keep your plan" lie now threatens to singe vulnerable Democrats next year, so they're springing into action to try to force the administration to keep its word. Louisiana's Mary Landrieu -- an ardent Obamacare supporter -- is scrambling to undo one of the obvious consequences of a law she's voted to pass, fund, and retain:
Sen. Mary Landrieu said Wednesday she would propose legislation to ensure all Americans could keep their existing insurance coverage under Obamacare, a fresh sign of the political problems the law’s rollout has created for congressional Democrats. Landrieu, a Democrat who faces a tough reelection in Louisiana in 2014, said she would either offer her own bill or formally sign onto another measure that would ensure that the law would not force anyone off of their existing health policies. “The promise was made, and it should be kept,” Landrieu said in the Capitol Wednesday. “And it was our understanding when we voted for that bill that people when they have insurance could keep with what they had. So I’m going to be working on that fix.”

Obama keeping his word?
First, the uneducated childish quota baby would have to understand words.
Face it, libs, your little quota baby is quite stupid.
Sorry, but dat’s the twuuuuuth.
Shove it, Obamadork.
Too late. The insurance companies have already cancelled these policies and removed them from their systems.
I thought Senator Ron Johnson (R, WI) already got the ball rolling on this???
Some Red State Dims may propose this, but the leadership won’t let this pass. They can’t.
If individual plans were allowed to escape the ObamaCare dictates, the insurance companies could undersell (possibly even when including the subsidies) the exchange prices, causing the exchange system to collapse.
And, ‘She’s just a LITTLE bit pregnant...’
Sorry, Mary, but the second “Louisiana Purchase” is final.
Obama knew in 2010 that 93 million plans were non-complaint, according to Forbes.
93 million!!!
This all seems very complicated. Can’t we just pass a law banning illness?
Too late idiot Democrats; your desire to be our overlords will destroy you in the 2014 election. And remember folks, 2014 is just 62 days away. Let’s not let the GOPe rescue their pals the Democrats. Make any changes effective January 1, 2015—AFTER the November 2014 election.
Not too late, they can move to reinstate them any time.
Obama needs those people in his stupid plan so he can finance the premiums for all the people that won’t be paying. He needs that 1/6th of the economy to make his plan work and he wants it to start pronto so the sheeple will vote Dem next election, The roll out screwed up his plans.
The schadenfreude gets thicker and juicier every day but it has only just begun. Reap your karma, Dems!
Great idea, and it can be a one liner.
“This law repeals the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”
HE would never sign it. It would pull the rug out from under the entire law and it would crumble like a Jenga stack...............
Repeal Obamacare
Repeal Obamacare
REPEAL OBAMACARE!
Yep.
They own it !!!
This train wreck MUST happen NOW !!
If it is allowed to be “deferred” we will lose.
What are there 310M people in the U.S. and you are talking about 93M plans??????
