Zeke acted like an hysterical lunatic.
this is an alien concept to a neo-Marxist redistributionist.
Dumb insurance companies. They thought they were getting special perks from Bambi in exchange for giving up their business and getting guaranteed government business. Little did they know that this was but a prelude to getting rid of them altogether.
Sorry, guys... Under the bus with you.
Insurance Kapos will be at the front of the Shower Line.
Didn’t Zeke say that insurers were wanting to exit the individual market?
The insurance companies heard “30 million new customers” and sold their souls to the devil.
They were betting that they could just cancel the plans and people would flock to higher premium plans but now reality has kicked in and they now realize those people they just kicked off aren’t coming back. They will have a net loss of real paying customers now.
At some point they will be pulling pitchforks outta their behinds................
The statement by Emanuel is false. In a letter sent to my Congressman prior to the passage of the Act and therefore prior to the HHS regulations which define “change” for purposes of the grandfather clause, I predicted that the Act would lead to the extinction of non-conforming plans. Any thinking person who took the time to read the Act would have come to a similar conclusion.
Obama’s arguments now will be believed only by the galacticly stupid, the democrat side of the congress...and RINO’s.. but I repeat myself
The insurance companies who were stupid enough to support Barry on this had better watch out and start hiring lawyers. Next thing you know Holder will start an “investigation” and discover this was all their fault. Lawsuits to extort confessions and fines to follow.
I know it would've been changing the subject, but I wish Wallace would've then asked ol' Zeke, if 4 months is more than enough time to sign up for Obamacare, why isn't 12 months enough time to expect people to secure some form of voter id in time for next year's mid-terms? Or better yet, 36 months in time for the next Presidential election?!
Elect Terry M., Bagman for the Clintons Virginians, and look for more corruption. Elect Cuccinelli, and look for a healthy State....don't let your state be bought by the Obama and Clinton political machines...they don't give a hoot in 'ell about you or Virginia...Make your vote for Governor for America...not a vote for Socialism.
The insurance companies did not realize that the endgame was their own demise. GREED clouded their judgment.
The community agitator trying to rile up the masses against the evil insurance companies...
Words inscribed on the pediment of the Obama Memorial located in the Chicago stockyard's excrement collection facility.
“When the private companies decide to drop an individual, you blame Obama. He isnt responsible for that, said Emanuel, brother to former White House Chief of Staff turned Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.”
Giant HALF TRUTHS are great at telling giant lies, and that’s what Emmanuel does.
This issue of the day is not insurance companies that “drop an individual” because of Obamacare. It is insurance companies dropping a plan as it was previously offered, and either offering to keep that plan but UNDER OBAMACARE it will cost more DUE TO OBAMACARE, or in some markets, no longer offering that plan DUE TO THE ADDED COSTS REQUIRED FOR THAT PLAN, UNDER OBAMACARE.
Emmanuel went on to try to say insurers did not want to be in the health insurance market for individuals “as it’s constructed” (before or since Obamacare).
That is another GIANT half truth because the market for health insurance for individuals IS an artifact of government intervention, government regulation and government tax policy. The individual market is in net a CREATION of everything the government has done to favor the big government, big employer, big union CAPTURED EMPLOYEE health insurance market and disfavor the individual market.
