"I told you so"

Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Tuesday joined the ranks of worried Democrats demanding that President Obama allow people to keep their current insurance policies. Feinstein’s move is bad news for an administration desperate for good news following the roll-out debacle of the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance exchange on Oct. 1, which has been plagued by technical problems.
In addition to the website snarl, thousands of individual policies have been cancelled by insurance companies to meet minimum coverage standards under Obama’s signature health care law.
Feinstein said a “simple fix” would make good on Obama’s promise during the debate over the legislation that people could keep their current health insurance if they like it.
The California Democrat is a political heavyweight, given her Senate seniority and reputation for working across the aisle. She won re-election in 2012 to a new six-year term, and so does not share the political fears of Democrats up for re-election in 2014 such as Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, whose bill Feinstein will co-sponsor. Feinstein is the first blue-state Democrat to join the effort.

You don’t mess with the Chocolate Mountaineers!
she and hubby know a scam when they see one and run one.
Rats. Sinking ship. Grabbing the lifeboats before the women and children.
Maybe Nancy PP ought to find out what’s in it and then straighten out her fellow Californian
It’s 20,000 pages. She should finally read it now before it gets much bigger
It’s mostly about how we all need to foot the bill for people to have non committed sex, and a few variations on that
Hey, Like Diane said - you could “keep your plan”... until they passed Obamacare!
First Clinton, now DiFi, I can guarantee you that there will be more rats to follow.
Any chance this slime ball will just simply decide she likes Iran better and move there and wear her burka full time???
I love watching the rats eat their own
The biggest red herring in history. They can pass all the laws they want and the insurance companies aren’t going to re-offer the policies when they know they will be brutally cut off at the knees right after the next election.
The Dems are behaving like a cat trying to wrap a rug around a t*rd they just dropped in your living room. They know they effed up, there’s nothing they can do about it and they’re trying to keep you from finding out about it.
Too late. They had their chance during the shutdown. They refused to negotiate until they realized Obama lied. They are stuck whit it as is now.
“I love watching the rats eat their own”
Not to worry, the GOP will no doubt outnoise them over something or other.
Fineswine is trying figure out a way for her and her money grubbing husband can make money on this.
The problem the fed gov has is they cannot force insurance companies to take back customers they dropped. This violates many state laws and regs on insurance. Is the SCOTUS going to back fed demands. This issue is not about taxes anymore. Gov cannot force business to violate state laws and accept contracts against their will. It will be a legal morass for the fed gov.
Totally agree, the dems know they effed up big time. They want reform, escape from Obama’s law because they know it is poison electorally. They love power and they don’t want to give it up. I don’t trust the Dems to repeal this or make meaningful changes to Obamacare, but when you’re in a negotiation it’s good to know the other side is desperate, divided and weak.
