Senator Mary Landrieu says she will be introducing legislation to make sure anyone who likes their health care plan can keep it if the wish under Obamacare, but she still supports the law.
**SNIP**
Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon said about 80,000 Louisiana policyholders will lose their policies because of Obamacare. Landrieu’s legislation would allow policyholders to keep their insurance as long as they kept paying their premiums.

The $4 Billion Typo in Obamacare's 'Louisiana Purchase'
Do you remember the “Louisiana Purchase?” I don’t mean Thomas Jefferson’s acquisition of land from Napoleon, but rather Democrats’ acquisition of Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D., La.) support for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for gaining $200 million additional federal funds for Louisiana’s Medicaid program. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion in extra Medicaid funds: more than twenty times the assigned amount. How this happened, and how Congress failed to fully fix it, is a microcosm of our new health law’s many flaws.
There already was such a bill offered by Pubs. Every Democrat senator voted against it. They called it “fearmongering”.
Landrieu knew. 0bama knew. Everyone knew.
The Dems were forced to vote on it three years ago and every one of them voted against fixing it.

Keeping their current won’t work, because Obamacare is dependent on young, healthy enrollees to pay premiums or penalties to create the slush fund that pays out to those who need their premiums subsidized and/or need earlier medical services and treatment.
Ponzi schemes only work if enough people pay in at the beginning for a few to collect later on.

Landrieu and Obama are not on the same page. Maybe Obama didn’t explain it good enough to her.
Maybe Landrieu needs to read ‘Obamacare for Dummies’ so she will know how Obamacare works.
All we need are commercials that say: “Obamacare” then the senate vote taker voice “Senator Landrieu, AYE”
Do that for every senator.
What is not mentioned is if the supposed grand-fathered policies will be required to be ACA compliant.
If so, more shades of Directive 10-289...
And commercials showing:
You are required to pay for Obamacare.
Politicians and their staffs are not.
Can anyone help her out and translate “It’s too late” into Dumbass?
So she wants to force insurance companies to insure people? And she wants to keep the law to force people to buy Obamacare? I know they’re all itching to force states to expand Medicaid, getting ready to make their move on that.
What else do you want to force us to do Senator Landrieu?
Resign typhoid Mary! You ‘Rats f’d it up big time.
Let her fall on her face. Maybe Obama can hire her as a navigator, especially if she has a criminal record!
Mary, sweet Mary, is on record, and in re-broadcast recordings across the State of Louisiana, about how she would vote for O’Care, again and again.
It is queer, that one of Mary’s constituent parishes, happens to lie on the same ground as that 26-acre-and-counting sinkhole, but no word from her about the folks there, one way or the other!
Mary, ‘The Blonde From The Chocolate City’!!!!
Harry Reid wanted HIS people to enter the bill.
We’ve got a year of triangulation coming from the Dems and ‘Big Money’ media.
A quote from ‘Minority Report’ is appropriate: “I’m so tired of the future”
I can’t wait until we flush that turd down the turlet next year. I’m sick of the Landrieus in our state.
And I wanna eat three Big Macs and a chocolate shake everyday AND continue a career as a runway model.
Yes they will TRY to fix it but it will not work. You can keep the policy provided you pay the “PREMIUM”? Well the premium will not be affordable. “So what difference does it make” (pun intended) if exempt? Insurance Companies will bail on the whole thing.
If the people of Louisiana vote this Liberal ObamaCare enabler back in, they deserve what they get!
Mary Landrieu is corrupt and a disgrace to all freedom loving people, the big problem is that she will be a plague on the other 49 states. I hope that there are enough good Louisianians to throw this bad apple out.
God willing, Louisiana Freepers will help get Landrieu voted out for the good of the country.
