Obama administration relaxes rules of health-care law four days before deadline
Washington Post ^ | 12/19/13 | Amy Goldstein

The Obama administration Thursday night significantly relaxed the rules of the health-care law for millions of consumers whose individual insurance policies have been canceled, saying they could buy bare-bones health plans or entirely avoid the requirement that most Americans have health insurance.

The surprise announcement, four days before the Dec. 23 deadline for people to choose coverage that begins on Jan. 1, triggered an immediate backlash from the health insurance industry and raised new fairness questions about a law intended to promote affordable and comprehensive coverage.

Changes the law and heads off to Hawaii——like that makes everything all right.

3 more years of this POS.

We’ll just ignore this impossible-to-comply-with law, too.

One good helping of lawlessness deserves another. We can simply refuse to comply; we can change the rules as we go along.

Yes, I agree that Article V is the only realistic legal recourse we have. The Great One’s new book, “The Liberty Amendments” is brilliant and may be the best template to our only chance to save this Republic from classical hard tyranny.

He has flagrantly violated his Oath on practically countless occasions.

The illegal act of instructing Eric Holder to ignore the Defense of Marriage Act was an obvious impeachable offense.

The illegal act of making the recess appointments when the Senate was not in recess was an obvious impeachable offense.

The illegal act of lining out the work requirement from the Welfare Act of 1994 was an obvious impeachable offense.

And then, the numerous direct changes to existing legislation without any public consultation of Congress, let alone legal congressional action, as you mention, are all obvious impeachable offenses.

Speaker Boehner, it is your responsibility to hold this man to account for his impeachable actions. Where are you?

1.) Senate would have to convict, and it won’t. 2.) Joe Biden as president.

Why does the senate have to convict? They will do what they want to do and none of it has to do with a lawful impeachment carried out in the House.

Joe Biden would be an emasculated lamer lame duck occupying space until 2016 - not a big deal at all.

Don’t care how many changes he makes, I will not comply with this unconstitutional law.

IIRC, the phrase “as the secretary shall determine” or something like that is in the law hundreds of times.

Obama through the Health Care industry stooges under the bus? Imagine my complete lack of surprise.

That is the part I find hysterically funny. I only feel sorry for those few companies that didn't want this.

The founders of this Republic NEVER INTENDED for the executive branch or its agencies to CREATE law.

I wonder why the stupid party doesn't do anything about it? No, maybe I don't wonder why.
