President Obama this morning announced that he would be issuing an administrative order—which requires no Congressional review—delaying the implementation of provisions of Obamacare that had led to the cancellation of a million or so insurance policies. This follows on the Administration’s similar delays of the Employer Mandate and the Individual Mandate. According to CNN, this morning’s delay is supposed to “cover millions of people who have had their insurance policies cancelled,” but the fact is that in many states, it won’t even do that—because insurance companies, anticipating the implementation of the new law, long ago decided to cancel these policies. Surprise!—except for the attentive observers who have been warning about this for years. Moreover, many states—including California—which are already going along with Obamacare are already beyond the Administration’s reach, because those insurance policies were cancelled by state agencies. This morning’s delay can’t do anything about that.

Obama is doing his best to give republicans the upper hand in the 2014 elections.
But as always they will somehow manage to overcome the advantage and blow the opportunity.
I suspect they will be emboldened by Obama’s current weakness.
Emboldened that is, to stop fighting democrats and make war on the Tea Party conservatives.
What came to my mind is: Just because he isn't going to subject these insurance companies to penalties for continuing to issue "sub standard policies", what the HELL makes this idiot and his koolaid kiddies think that alone is going to incentivize these companies to reinstate already cancelled policies??? Especially if it's only for a short term, when administrative costs must be considered. This ain't the damn government where costs are absorbed by the taxpayers.
Maybe he can issue an executive order restoring virginity and virtue to all the hookers in the US. That ought to work about as well.
Exactly
Indeed, lol...
“Truth is, we have no proof this SOB ever took that oath. Sad to say.”
Sadder still, we have no proof that he even had the right to take that solemn oath. All we have is proof of evil shenanigans and trechery perpetrated on us by elected officials, from start to (hopefully soon!) finish.
Even old senile McCan't repeal established law is now calling for the repeal of obamacare.
I wrote you before the vote on Obamacare that passed this monstrosity to "Leave your damn hands off our healthcare."
Now you, your president, your Democrat cohort, and sycophantic media have all shown yourselves to be the liars and demagogues we on the right always knew you to be!
For the sake of all those sick kids and cancer patients losing their health insurance for whom you and your ilk have shown absolutely no concern: REPEAL OBAMACARE IMMEDIATELY or YOU AND YOUR PARTY WILL HAVE THE BLOOD OF ALL THOSE SICK PEOPLE YOUR PET LAW KILLED ON YOUR HANDS!!!
2014 is coming...we will NOT forget!!!
You may not be out of the woods. If you have employer provided health insurance, guess what. Your turn in the barrel got delayed a year. You employer's insurance policy/agreement/contract must meet the Obamacare Standards next year. And they will be the same as you can get on the exchanges. Why would the employer A) spend money to manage it B) not take the saving of a simple $2,500 per employee fine when they are paying twice that now (depending on your coverage and what you contribute).
I couldn't have put it better. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
Email these ‘Rat bastards and let them know they will be held accountable for the blood their vote and lies shed over Obamacare!
THIS ISN’T ABOUT A WEBSITE: THIS LAW WILL KILL PEOPLE AND THESE ‘RAT BASTARDS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!
It's going to effect every American citizen eventually if it isn't stopped. Btw, doesn't the employer standards begin in January? Wasn't that what Rush was saying?
The public is not patient, nor should they be. Listen to the stories of the dis-insured. There will be a Million Defrauded Citizens march on D.C. demanding Obamacare Repeal by Christmas. It will make that Rostenkowski event look tame. And remember, this same cancellation of policies will hit the group market next year at this time, which the Dems now know. Obamacare is the walking dead. Obama just needs Feinstein, Manchin, Landreaui et al to tell him so.
Wonder what good it would do to call my ‘rep’.....
see tagline
None, it would just get your blood pressure up for no good reason - you ever think about moving to another part of the country?
This is the first step, he’s figuring out what kind of freebies he can hand out so the press and the citizens will stop hounding him.
Once the regime gets that worked out and the free stuff is flowing to all the victim groups that the press loves, then things will quiet down again and NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Nothing will ever stick to this guy or the democrats. OH, almost forgot, any negative effects that happen from the changes they make will be blamed on the republicans and tea party.
In private. Whatever that means.
Why would that matter. He lies so regularly that it is obvious that an oath from him would be meaningless.
