Someone just posted this on the articles, worth mentionin,g Obama cannot do this......

1- What Obama is proposing is illegal. It goes against the Affordable care act.
This must go through Congress & senate.
2- What Obama is proposing will be impossible for Health insurance companies to comply with. It takes a min of 3 months to set up Eligibility, benefits and new member ID cards. States regulate insurance programs and need (for the most part) sign off to offer such plans.
3- Plan will not be able to offer and won’t offer people their old plans. This will blow up their risk pools.
This is all an attempt to deflect blame from Obama/Democrats to “evil insurance companies.”
Democrats need to vote for the Upton Bill and codify this into law and not just for 2014.

Really, sunmars? A FReeper could be banned for life if they were to use up the bandwidth necessary to list all the crap Obama "couldn't do" per the constitution.

This is Banana Republic stuff. El Presidente is ordering businesses to sell a product. Exactly what the guy in Venezuela just did to an electronics store chain.

It takes a min of 3 months to set up Eligibility, benefits and new member ID cards.

I wish I was an hourly IT worker for a health insurance company having to unwind these cancellations. I won't be home for the holidays but I won't care when in St. Marteen after this is over.

All good points, but the God King will decree and what will the GOP do? If Obama decrees and no one, or organization, stops him then he is Maximum Leader El Supremo Chief Banana.
