Dems Offer Fix To Obama’s ‘Broken Promise’ On Keeping Health Insurance Policies (RATS panic)
Mint Press News ^ | 11/10/13 | Frederick Reese

**SNIP**

Landrieu’s bill will allow policyholders to keep their policies for as long as they keep up with payments. The bill would also force insurance companies to disclose how the customer’s current plan is out of compliance with the ACA’s requirements.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) and other red-state Democrats, represents a concession of sorts. Hagan faces re-election in 2014 and is currently the target of a television ad campaign blaming her for her support of the ACA.

“Obviously it’s not going the way it should and I’m disappointed and I’m frustrated and it’s totally unacceptable because the American people deserve better and the way I look at it, North Carolinians deserve better,” Hagan said.

We know how Mary’s plan would work. She is pulling a fast one. The key is that you can keep your plan as long as you can keep up with the payments.

Answer is simple. Make sure the price on those plans skyrocket quickly.

Congress has no power to order insurance companies to re-institute policies that no longer exist.

I hate to say this, but I hope this bill goes no where. I’d rather wish some short term pain on American voters that life-long socialism. The GOP should amend this bill with so many distasteful things to RATs that it will never see the light of day. They should start with making all unions participate in ZeroCare and overturning every handpicked exception. One law for one people. That will get people hopping mad.

Both of them, along with every other Democrat in the Senate, voted against the bill that Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) sponsored in September 2010 that would have repealed Sebelius’s regulations that took away the grandfathering of health plans that people wanted to keep.

Now these rats want their voters to think they are trying to fix something that could have been fixed three years ago if Democrats would have supported it. Every last one of these lying weasels should be voted out next year.

Yes, Senators Hagan and Landrieu, "the People" of your states, as Hagan says, do deserve better than a government-imposed and taxpayer-funded collaboration between Democrats and insurance companies to come between themselves and their doctors and health care providers!

What the Senators really are saying is that the government must get its coercive "redistribution" mechanism working more efficiently than did the web site!

They know, as do their fellow Democrats, that the youthful victims may begin to see that the hand in their pockets is not their own voluntary charity, but that of the coercive hand of force.

There was, perhaps, an unintended, but telling, remark within the so-called statements of "apology" in the NBC interview this week.

With regard to Democratic "progressives'" intent with the so-called "Affordable" Care Act, the President claimed it was to cause people to choose its provisions:". . . because they want 'em, as opposed to because they're forced into it." - Barack Obama, NBC Interview, 11-07-13

The biggest lie of them all is this telling statement--else, why would there be a "penalty" (uh, a "tax," as Chief Justice Roberts calls it) for failure to participate??

Contrast Obama's statement with the honest wisdom of America's First President:

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like a fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." - George Washington

Youth of America, you were not asked, were you, if you "want" that added expense for insurance you probably will not need for several years? Bet you could use your earnings in those early years for getting your first apartment, your first car, etc., etc. But, no, you are being "forced" to use your hard-earned dollars to pay for other people's assorted unhealthy lifestyles, or the myriad of other "forced" coverages you don't need or want!

"However combinations or associations of [factions] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government - destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." - George Washington

These nincompoops don’t realize that ObaMao doesn’t care what happens to them or that Harry Reid won’t even schedule a vote on their bill in the Senate.

Senator Kay Hagan worries about obamacare website.

The woman below is not her twin sister.

Marilyn Tavenner testifies about obamacare website under oath, which one is the most worried?

Both, but for different reasons.

On one hand I agree with you. On the other I’m gonna get slammed with a 400% premium increase in a month and a half unless something happens in the interim.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.)

Republicans need to ensure it is a Republican bill that passes, not a Dem bill.

and when they do, I think the principle of ex post facto takes over unless of course Justice Roberts can find a reason why that is not the case.

You are dead on. The presumption the policies can be reinstated as they were is fantasy.

There is no solution. The die is cast for 2014.

Who needs Congress ?

Obama just needs to take out his magical unicorn pen, sign an EO and shazam...Law of the Land... / S

Too bad he actually thinks he can...

Your situation is the exact reason why I wrote, “I hate to say this”. I have employer provided healthcare. I am positive my contribution rate will increase when the employer mandate goes into effect.

I just hope enough voters know what is happening to their policies before the next election.

Republicans have to stay united on this simple strategy (they won’t):

No “fixes” or “technical adjustments” or “extensions” of any kind whatsoever. If the president and democrats want the law fixed, they have to agree to repeal it, and then start over.

It’s very, very simple, and the American people would agree with that strategy.
