Sen. Warren defends President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act shift on insurance policies
The Republican ^

Posted on 11/19/2013 1:47:22 PM PST by matt04

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, on Friday defended President Barack Obama’s decision to allow health insurers to issue plans for one more year that do not meet the standards set out by the Affordable Care Act, as a transitional move.

“What the president’s done is said no one for a year, no insurance company, needs to cancel its coverage because of the Affordable Care Act,” Warren said, speaking to reporters after an Associated Industries of Massachusetts breakfast at the Westin Hotel in Waltham. “They’re trying to make the transition work. They’re trying to do everything they can to make it work and get people into the system.”

However, asked whether individuals should be able to keep their current insurance plans indefinitely if they do not meet the minimum standards laid out by the Affordable Care Act, Warren did not say yes or no, but implied that she agreed with the changes required by the new law. “I think what we’re looking for is to get people coverage that means something,” Warren said. “We do not sell cars with three wheels. We sell cars that travel on our highways and that have some basic standards of safety. And that’s what we’re talking about with insurance, making sure that if people are paying for insurance, they’re getting some insurance.”

Warren’s statement echoed Obama’s comments in a speech on health care he gave in Boston last month, in which the president referred to the plans that were cancelled as “cut rate plans that don’t offer real financial protection in the event of serious illness or accident.”

If you see Axelgrease, Gibbs, and Plouffy lining up in the Squaw Warren camp, expect her to try for the Third Obama Term.

Massistan is one of the few states where a Senator could do this, even if she was up for election.

So she's defending illegal actions, by an illegal alien, to support an illegal "law", designed to destroy America.

Typical Democrat.

Does Senator Pocahontas Warren realize yet that her State of Massachusetts, Romneycare does not meet the standards either, and pretty soon her constituents will be ready to scalp her.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.. just another BRAIN-DEAD politician who takes the stage to make a momentary appearance and proclaim ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of substance.

It's called "blowing to the galleries."

Obamacare states that we pay for gender change operations, abortions, Contraception, and pre-existing conditions, I do not believe Romneycare covers these things. If not then they too face loss of Insurance.
