LOL...Feinstein says she had no clue, and even then, it's all the staff's fault.
Nice.
The bill was so huge - it made my brain hurt - we just trusted the leadership and the president - Wahaaaaaaaa!
Dear Feinstein and congressional Democrats,
READ THE DAMN BILL BEFORE YOU VOTE ON IT! NEVER, EVER GIVE UP YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL CONGRESSIONAL POWER TO REGIME TYRANNY.
Idiots. Didn’t know...you didn’t know because you chose to be an ignorant useful idiot, instead of doing your job to represent the people.
bullchit...they willing VOTED to put Americans further into despair, they knowingly carried on "the lie" riding the coattails into oblivion and their personal bank accounts.
Not a word about their constitutes that have to suffer through the Democrats insane Obamacare policy. They do not even concern themselves that they look like craven power hungry grifters.
He still has a high approval after lying. And he's not even done yet.
Idiocracy.
Of COURSE I didn't read it... NONE of us did ... we all knew it was a freedom grabber and an America destroyer and that's all that mattered ... but we never thought we'd lose our JOBS over it .. !?!.
The divide is growing daily and the GOP isn't doing anything, saying anything.
Boehner should be on National TV every day raising hell. He has a bully pulpit!
We don't have answers for the questions we're getting because we don't understand this law neither !
Our constituents are right and have a point ... this thing's a monstrosity and we need answers for them.
And don't tell us the usual "have a town hall" or something like that ... these people are outside with tar, feathers and rope.
It's all about Them!
Their credibility.
Their reelection.
The awfulness of having to listen to and deal with pi@@ed off voters who are CORRECTLY tying the lying to Them!
“Democrats said they were concerned about ‘being dragged into this nonstop cycle’ of bad news”
True, the news cycle hasn’t spun in a while. Either someone forgot to direct the MSM, or an “event” is behind schedule.
Be patient Dems - soon it’ll be “old news”. And if you don’t get handed a distraction, you and the Rinos can run out the clock by tinkering with ACA. The employee-based cancellations won’t happen for a year. Your seats are safe. /s
Spot on!
Bark? As in like a dog? Wonder if it was just a little “woof” or maybe like a whine?
Allowing some people to keep cheaper coverage through 2015 will only further stiff those who for whatever reason have to get new coverage before them, because not only will they be screwed with paying more in 2014, that difference will increase dramatically for 2015, when they are forced to carry even more of the weight of the bill for the sick-insured also in the exchange.
Agreed. This is a case where that spin less jelly fish Boehoer needs to dig through his storage bins, locate his spine and get the right message the Obamacare is the result of Democrat policies.

“.................. UPMC Health Plan, the insurance arm of hospital giant UPMC, said it enrolled fewer than 200 people to date.
Aetna Inc., which is selling health plans on the website in Western Pennsylvania under its HealthAmerica subsidiary, declined to say how many people it enrolled.
On a conference call with reporters, Sebelius would not provide information on ages of enrollees. Young people, who are typically less costly to insure because they tend to be healthier, may not sign up for coverage because it is likely that premiums will cost more than the penalty they face for not carrying coverage. If most people who buy insurance are older and sicker, insurers might raise premiums.
The ages of people who bought from Highmark so far are “skewing older,” Ash said, though she noted that “enrollment volumes are still low, so demographics at this point may not provide a total picture.”
She said “a large portion” of shoppers selected Highmark Community Plans, the least expensive plans for sale in the region. Those plans exclude UPMC hospitals and doctors as in-network providers.
Obamacare opponents have criticized the president for promising that people could keep existing health insurance even as cancellation notices hit people whose individual health insurance policies didn’t measure up to the law’s requirements.
In Pennsylvania, Highmark and other nonprofit Blue Cross companies sold tens of thousands of those plans to people with chronic illnesses who could not obtain coverage elsewhere.
Ash said Highmark isn’t tracking whether people whose plans were cancelled have purchased plans through the website.
“They may enroll with us or with another carrier, so it’s difficult to determine exactly where each of those have gone in the system,” she said.”
So, overturning Obamacare will require a veto override, which is hard to imagine.
What's left is a CYA vote.
I wonder if there will be defections to the GOP.
Repeal ObamaCare.
