Now that someone who actually knows something about healthcare insurance has looked at this latest trick and explained its flaws, it's worse than we thought it was.

It took years at a massive cost to plan out compliance with the ACA, design and set the tiers for coverage and sign all the contracts with providers to prepare for the disaster of obamacare. Now at the last minute Obama steps in and says “just kidding!”?

History will look at Obama as an 8 year comedy routine, but the joke is on all of us.

News this morning is that Obama wants a closed door meeting with insurance execs.

I’m guessing it will be an offer they can’t refuse.

Money heals all wounds. There is a meeting today between Obama and Insurance officials. The bribe will be offered to cover Obama’s ass. That Risk Corridor cash will be offered(a bribe)(illegal?). Obama doesn’t care that that cash was aside only in regards to ACA polcies. Hisass needs cover so he doesn’t look like a liar.
What a crook and a crock.

"How can they comply with this new element of federal law, and with their state laws?"

Actually, this isn't a "new element of federal law" - the law is not changing. Obama just said he is making a conscious decision not to enforce existing law and inviting insurers to break that existing law with the promise he won't prosecute them. Aside from being unethical and destroying the concept that we are a nation of laws with checks and balances, this is blatently unconstitutional.

One thing about leftists is that they REALLY REALLY like to trust in “experts”,

even if those “experts” are pontificating on something outside of their expertise.

They’ll probably believe Obama over this guy.

“Second, do they really think carriers are going to be willing to recreate the old plans, while also being mandated to offer the new ones that comply with the exchanges?"

They're not just being asked to re-create the old plans, they're being asked to do it and then throw it all out (again) in a year.

The problems with Obamacare is turning into one of the biggest political fiascoes in many years. The difficulties in the signup web sites and millions of Americans losing their health care insurance coverage at the end of 2013 is going to cause no end of grief for the Democrats in 2014.

Obama’s ‘fix’ was like trying to remove the eggs from cake batter before sticking it in the stove.

By pushing the ‘fix’ onto state insurance commissioners, Obama is trying to set up them and the insurance companies to take the blame.

The ‘fix’ will be too costly for both consumers and insurance companies — and it will only be viable for 1 year.

Obama tries to get a do-over and ends up with more egg on his face.

“Second, do they really think carriers are going to be willing to recreate the old plans, while also being mandated to offer the new ones that comply with the exchanges?"

In other words, "how can we trust this guy?"

Insurance execs are going to insist on legislation from congress, because they simply cannot trust the Emperor.

Obama’s “fix” will create chaos in the insurance industry, leave consumers with cancelled policies bewildered about what to do with their insurance and at best is only a temporary fix designed to give Democrats political cover. Obamacare has moved from a Titanic at Pearl Harbor level disaster to a disaster on the scale of the International space station falling from orbit hitting the Empire State Building dislodging King Kong who then falls on a bus load of orphans.
