Thanks. Handicapped with an old XP program that needs updating, and on dialup the reason XP needs updating, or I’d happily read your links. Kinda leaves me out of the loop on some things.

Thanks again.

Whenifhow :" At the same time, he did not rewrite the law to delay the “individual mandate,”…"

The last I knew, Congress wrote laws
The House funded the laws..
and the EXECUTIVE was supposed to implement (execute) laws
The Executive re-writing laws isn't within his perview, and is a violation of his oath of office : "To execute the law..",
furthermore , it offsets the system of checks and balances that our republic depends on .
I guess , since he has his own man in the dept. of " JUST-US ", he figures he is above the law, much less obey the law .
FUBO

Now we are getting somewhere. What exactly is in those thousands of pages added to what was the original law. Why would anyone want to sign up for anything they didn’t know what was in it? Sounds kind of dumb.

I think you’re right but I doubt the Repubs have the guts for this fight. My red line was crossed when Chrysler went bk and bammy stole the bondholders equity and gave it to the UMW. He broke the contract between me and the Federal government at that point. Join the party.

That was an impeachable offense. He should have been impeached on the spot for that deed. Look where we are now - it will be much more difficult now.

Whenifhow:" My take is that we must enforce the law vigorously so that people will see just how bad it is - in particular those congress critters should be included in the law. If they are not subject to the law they will not find the courage to change it."

Agreed !!
There should be a Constitutional Amendment that "Congress shall not order any law to any citizen that they , themselves, are not subject to "
Let them stew in their own juices !!

freekitty~:" What exactly is in those thousands of pages added to what was the original law."

Those were interpretations of the law by the bureaucracy.
The passed law was 1800 pages, as I remember.
The law , along with the bureaucratic interpretations now runs 7 1/2 feet tall ~ that isn't just 1800 pages !

Why would anyone want to sign up for anything they didn’t know what was in it? Sounds kind of dumb.

Ask Nancy Pelosi :
She vouched for Obama's authenticity
She vouched for OBamaCrap when she said :"You gotta pass it, to find out what's in it ".
Well , it got passed , and is now 7 1/2 feet tall ( and it wasn't 7 1/2 feet tall when it got passed ! )
"Bait and Switch "~ Typical tactic of the Libtards !

I realize he has made a lot of changes...but what was the legal basis?

Betsy is the expert on Obamacare, so if she says it - it must be so.

In much of the HC bill, the language used was “as the secretary shall deem necessary” or something to that effect.. which is vague and allows for some flexibility. However, the waivers were not part of the original law.

Video - Betsy shows visually how little is left of the original law.

“..This needs to be sent to EVERY Rep in DC!!”

And every FReeper should write a letter to the editor about it in their hometown newspaper, because many of the reps won’t care. When I write a letter to the editor, I often ask readers to please call their reps.

The Repubs blew it back when the House sent over a Bill which the Senate gutted then inserted the ACA. THAT was when the battle should’ve occurred and FOUL been declared.

Someone early on should have asked the president if he would resign if his promises proved false.

It is not too late to ask the man this on future promises.

I was listening to this live yesterday and it really clicked to hear her say this. I think Mark and I yelled “stop stop” at the same time. They could hear me though.

Thanks for the video. Betsy is on of the few people who has actually read the bill, understands it, and is able to explain it. She warned about the navigators - essentially a new ACORN type group, when no one else was talking about them.

It was 2700 pages plus a few. Nancy Pelosi also verified that Obama was the President. Remember that? We all know Congress puts amendments in other bills to hide them; however, this is not the original bill signed into law. We also all know the original Obamacare is illegal and really not the law.
