CNN: LATEST OBAMACARE DELAY 'COULD HAVE A HUGE POLITICAL IMPACT'
Breitbart ^ | Aug 15, 2013 | By Wynton Hall

Posted on 08/15/2013 12:43:05 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

On Thursday, CNN senior reporter John King said that the Obama Administration’s most recent delay of a key Obamacare provision that was supposed to limit consumers’ out-of-pocket expenses on deductibles and co-pays could prove seismic come the 2014 midterm elections.

“This one particularly though could have a huge political impact,” said CNN reporter John King. “Because as you mention, hidden in bureaucratic language, the end result is that when these changes kick in, the Administration promised for most Americans your costs would go down. Now it is saying, at least in the short term, your costs could be higher than you anticipated.”

In 2009, President Barack Obama promised voters that his Obamacare healthcare scheme would lower costs to consumers.

“We will place a limit on how much you can be charged for out-of-pocket expenses, because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they get sick,” said Obama.

But a little-noticed ruling slipped into the Labor Department’s website said the cost caps would be delayed until 2015--a date that critics say is designed to protect vulnerable Democrats from angry voters in the 2014 midterm elections.

Analysts say the consumer cost caps on out-of-pocket expenses will necessarily mean skyrocketing healthcare costs for Americans, as high costs for sicker citizens are shifted to healthier Americans who pay less for health insurance.

I assume you mean conservative? There are no conservatives in the Republican party today, not in the house or the senate.

Conservatives got irritated during McCarthy then as time passed were eliminated from both houses. Singapore Conservatives at that same time got pissed and dealt with the issue and is prosperous even today for their actions 40 years ago.

Yup. There are still people out there who are convinced they are going to get FREE HEALTH CARE and will blame the “Evil Republican Conservatives” when they don’t get it.

yeap, Saul Alinsky wrote a book on what has been taking place forever.

Such as the strong arm of the democrat party called the Klan became republicans whom the Klan targeted for death.

The socialists today hate conservatives for being the National Socialists.

The Crusades: where the same soldiers that removed the last strong holds (+450 year reign) of Islam out of Italy formed the first crusades but today it was all about money and christian authority.

The Socialists don't read history they make it up as they go along

” BTW, that administrative action is illegal, as only Congress can change the Law, once signed.”

We can add this major illegality to the 406 that the D.C. Republicans will do nothing about.

The end game is single payer. Neither party cares if Soetoro’s folly is functional. It’s a means to an end. Once the Pubbies got their exemption, they went into hiding.

Of course, because Obamacare isn't about healthcare at all. It's all about control.

Those going into expanded Medicaid are essentially getting just that.

If the cost caps are delayed until 2015, how will that protect Dem’s when the higher costa will hit in 2014?

Yeah, this part of the article had me scratching my head, too:

But a little-noticed ruling slipped into the Labor Department’s website said the cost caps would be delayed until 2015--a date that critics say is designed to protect vulnerable Democrats from angry voters in the 2014 midterm elections.

What was the purpose of the “Targeting” of George Zimmerman ?

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.That personhe’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 165 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now put a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http//www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051588/posts

To date the political opposition has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates

Did anyone imagine that an Administration could so openly bribe the electorate by both action and inaction and get away with it on the scale that this lot are doing on a daily basis?

I think there will be a limit on out-of-pocket expenses at most state run exchanges. There still is one in CA.

The young people are going to get hosed and have to pay for something they might not need for years down the road and when they need it the “care” is going to be crap.

I hope they enjoyed the socialism they voted for. It's not fun when you are the ones paying the bills. Many who wanted Obamacare were looking for a free ride - and are ending up paying higher premiums to subsidize others and ending up with lousy coverage.

The two Cards that Commie Obama loves to play are hate and envy.

Class Envy Obama calls Class Warfare, and hatred is just workplace violence, be it Fort Hood or Benghazi.

Trayvon gave Commie Obama, “The Great Divider”, three cards: race, hate and envy.

The gullible Liberal Agenda Media had another of their “Trial(s) of the Century.”

Obamacare is designed to shift resources from elder white americans to younger non white illegal aliens in the USA while amnesty is designed to make them legal so they can get obamacare and be sealed into the democrat voting bloc.

much as the new deal for dems back in the 30’s.

my 85 year old mother in law is a die hard massachuetts democrat. the last few years she has seen copays go up, though probably not obamacare related. however, she complains about the cost, but doesn’t say one friggen word about the dems she votes for having a hand in it.
its amazing how people can be brainwashed.
