“The Chicago way. “

It’s the United States way, now.

He could massacre a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to the participants and he still wouldn’t be impeached. And if you criticized him about it, the press would say “it’s a black thing” and accuse you of being a racist tea party rethuglican for bringing it up while licking their fingers and asking Michelle what kind of spice rub they’re using and ask for more macaroni & cheese and a refill of their kool-aid.

Smart insurers would bug their phone lines and keep recordings.

“interesting. wonder how many will pull out before then.”

I read in one of the many articles that the Administration had guaranteed the remaining companies would not lose any money. So, there is no incentive to leave the system. I thought there’d be a cascade of companies fleeing the system and it would collapse. But, apparently, that market option has been covered by crony capitalism.

The Chicago Democrat way...threatening anyone who might threaten their scam.
Are these insurance execs men or mice? Inquiring minds want to know.

Why would anyone cooperate with the Feds? They want to put the insurers out of business and do away with all of their jobs.

F obama.

Seems to me the best defense is to band together and speak out. If you know your end is being orchestrated by powers that be, you stand a better chance to preserve your life and livelihood by taking a stand on liberty and the constitution... damn the cowards!

These insurance companies will fold like a cheap suit. I bet they “conform” before the weekend.

It used to be called fraud and extortion, and at one time in America, along with being a traitor to the Constitution, these acts were illegal.

The proper response if I were contacted by, let alone threatened by the White House would be: “FU” for the contact and “Bring it On” if threatened.

Obamacare is just one of many problems this government has.

I really hope we head down the slippery slope of a massive civil disobedience or better yet another civil war.

Government needs to wake up and understand they work for us, not the other way around.

They get now potentially hundreds more a month out of Obamacare.
They get hundreds in tax out of fuel.
Property tax, business tax, sales tax, toll tax, use tax, parking tax, tickets, permits tax, transportation tax, employment tax.

Obamacare takes hundreds of what was available after tax income for food, services and clothing and makes it go away for health care. Look for less purchases causing major firings and reductions in the size of the economy.

i don’t know why they’d trust any guarantee from the obama admin. not after what they’ve been put through by them.

“That accusation is preposterous and inaccurate,” Carney said. “Plus, it ignores the fact that every day, insurance companies are out talking about the law, in large part because they are trying to reach new customers who will now have new, affordable insurance options available from providers through the new marketplaces.”

there's got to be a special circle of hell for people who can spin this way
