What a MESS. Obama can’t change the past and the ACA will wither on the vine as chaos will force Dems to repeal the law.

Good. Maybe the top CEO’s will get their heads out of their anal passageways are realize that you don’t help your business by voting for a marxist. Even an incompetent marxist.

Tough luck for the insurance companies. They made a deal with the devil and now want out?

Of course this is all disruptive. How else to get a single payer system in place?

Don’t the insurance companies know that they won’t be invited to the single payer dance?

Some insurers have left the state, so how are they supposed to reappear to deliver old policies?

Probably the same way the President in the future would by law force doctors to work Obamacare IMO. Should be illegal to do, but watch this President try and do it.

I wonder if we won’t see some insurance companies simply fold at some point.

The government can always make it legal, and when the doctors challenge this in court, they can always use John Robert’s precedent — Work for Obamacare or be subject to a TAX.

I thought this was funny. It may win tweet of the month.

That has ALWAYS BEEN THE PLAN enroute to a SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM.

*ANY* attempt or gesture by the GOP to revisit or fix or alter or modify any of this is a stupid mistake.

Thus, I suppose, we can count on it happening.

Yep, the insurers cast their lot with the Devil thinking they were going to be protected and get a big payday. Too bad that when you dance with the Devil there is always hell to pay.

Fools. And they (willingly) screwed the American public too.

What deal could they have made? The Dems want to go single payer and put them out of business. They don’t have a lot of cards to play when offered a deal for less than total extinction by the Dems.

Ya think maybe this whole fiasco never really was about providing healthcare for everyone?

Changing the rules through administrative action at this late date creates uncertainty and may not address the underlying issues. We look forward to learning more details.....

In other words, both you AND the horse you rode in on, Tonto.

This is a pretty transparent attempt to pin the problems on the insurance companies. I'll wager, though, that their PR flacks are a lot better than the government's. This is going to blow up in BO's face.

Let me see if I have this correct:

1) Mac daddy had the ceo’s from insurance companies in closed door meeting telling them that they would make loads of money from his obamacare.
That they are now to blame for not being able to put the toothpaste back into the tube is not his problem so they are f’d and it is all their fault.

2) The dumb-o-crats who voted for this bill without even reading it are f’d because they are up for election with nothing but even more explaining to do because of mac daddies lies.

The best thing that could happen to those dumb-o-crats that are up for election is too be thrown out of office, reid to lose his power in the senate and mac daddy to go down in history as the POTUS was without a doubt the best liar the USA has ever seen.

Was listening to Rush yesterday. He was talking about Bill Clinton taking Obama to task for not telling the truth about Obamacare. "You need to keep your word....let people keep their insurance policies", etc etc etc.

Sez Rush (and me), when Bill Clinton lectures you for not telling the truth enough, that's really something.

The Insurance Companies were given a license to steal, so they stole. They jacked up the policies and the costs, They could demand anything because everything was new.

Obama just canceled that license and now the Insurance companies are pissed, and are not going back to the same policies. They may go back to the old policies, but they will jack up the prices, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
