it would be funny, if it wasn’t so tragic that half the population voted for this and he will have 50%+ approval rating by springtime and we will be going through the same thing at least once before the next elections.
So, apparently Obama can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, no matter what the Congressional law says? Don’t dictators do that?
Still, Obama will just do what Obama does until he is challenged in court, which no one has the cojones to do.
What I REALLY want to know is why Obama is allowing these “rotten apple insurance” companies to continue their supposed “substandard” and “garbage” policies.
The OTHER thing I’d really like to know is if this is all the greedy insurance companies fault for cancelling these “substandard” and “garbage” policies in the first place as Obama has claimed, then why is it REQUIRED that Obama
ALLOW them to reinstate them?
BTW, anybody that’s been paying attention knows this isn’t a “fix” for Obamacare at all, but is simply a “fix” to try and stem Congressional democrats fleeing from Obama.
Also, anybody that’s been paying attention knows there’s simply no way these “inferior” policies can be “re-instated”, especially before 1/1/2014. This is simply another desperation patch being put on a fundamentally unworkable program because the public is getting its first glimpse of what Obamacare is really all about, and they are NOT liking it!
There will be more and more of these patches each and every time the public finds out the next horrible thing about Obamacare, and every patch is simply going to make the whole thing more and more unworkable, until eventually the whole thing comes crashing down like a house of cards.
Really, the only real solution is to repeal Obamacare and start over with REAL health care reform, not some socialist redistribution scheme disguised as health care reform.
Obama forgot the “You can keep your doctor, period” part.
Maybe the insurance companies shouldn’t have gotten in bed with a liberal lunatic SNAKE....who has never had a real job, EVER...
“Changing the rules after health plans have already met the requirements of the law could destabilize the market and result in higher premiums for consumers,” said Karen Ignani, president and chief executive of America’s Health Insurance Plans. “Premiums have already been set for next year based on an assumption of when consumers will be transitioning to the new marketplace. If now fewer younger and healthier people choose to purchase coverage in the exchange, premiums will increase and there will be fewer choices for consumers.”
>> “This puts the insurance companies,” Laszewski writes, “who have successfully complied with the law, in a hell of a mess.”
Since the Citizens United lawsuit was decided in favor of corporations by the Supreme Court, insurance companies are free to run hard-hitting issue ads that spell out just exactly where the blame for this debacle belongs.
Right before the midterm elections, if they so choose.
I hope they take advantage of this powerful tool.
I will never feel the least bit sorry for the insurance companies. Without their cooperation then Obama care would not even exist.
In fact the insurance companies have a whole lot to do with the details of Obamacare. All they ever had to do was say NO.
Three quick points:
1.) Tyrant Obama cannot legally change the Obamacare Bill that he signed into Law.
Only the US Congress can legally change the Law, which then can be signed by Obama.
_________
2.) The MANDATORY dictate in Obamacare is the only factor that is essential to that Federal Law.
Take out the MANDATORY dictate in Obamacare, and only the Federally subsidized, or chronically unhealthy will buy it.
For example:
“What would be the incentive for increased consumer demand for policy purchase of a NON-MANDATORY Obama Socialized Health Insurance Tax (OSHIT) instead of purchasing a policy from a private insurance company?”

3.) Will the House RINOs think of either of the above two points? I seriously doubt it.
