OK. We are going through all this drama because 30 million Americans didn’t have health insurance?
Delicious
And today at his presser, didn't Idi Obama announce that the ONLY plans canceled were sub-par, garbage health plans that HE will ALLOW to be reinstated so that people can keep their sub-par, garbage health plans for another year before they get re-canceled?
....but it really was an effort to take over the Health Care Industry!
“If they are thinking about subsidizing the insurance companies to cover this the price is going to wipe out the entire GDP. “
And you think the media can’t get enough voters to do just that...
Because the voters are too smart?
Because the voters don’t want ‘free stuff’?
Because the media wouldn’t lie?
The only way I can see to pay for Obamacare is to invade China and take all it’s wealth and enslave it’s peoples LOL!
He doesn't want either the House bill or the Senate bill to pass,.
Send him their new address back in their home districts where he can send their final checks.
Why does Congress even bother?
The emperor will just make a decree.
Nice!
From the results of the signups, it looks like only 22% of those who were uninsured intend to take advantage of obamacare, so we only needed to account for 6 million -
what would it have cost to pay 6 million people’s premiums?
Not what obamacare costs.
If they are thinking about subsidizing the insurance
Conventional wisdom is they can’t do this because to get the money they would have to get it through the house....rutrow!!!
The insurance that will save boatloads of money - so much money that all of these special cases will be able to be covered at no added cost, not one thin dime - will need to be funded?
Only about 9-10 million legal residents wanted health insurance but could not afford it. The 45 million is the number who did not have employer provided health insurance.
NAIC STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING ONE YEAR EXTENSION FOR EXISTING PLANS
******************************************EXCERPT*****************************************************
For three years, state insurance regulators have been working to adapt to the Affordable Care Act in a way that best meets the needs of consumers in each state. We have been particularly concerned about the way the reforms would impact premiums, the solvency of insurance companies, and the overall health of the marketplace. The NAIC has been clear from the beginning that allowing insurers to have different rules for different policies would be detrimental to the overall market and result in higher premiums.
We have expressed these concerns with the Administration and are concerned by the President’s announcement today that the federal government would use its “enforcement discretion” to delay enforcement of the ACA’s market reforms in 2014 for plans that are currently in effect. This decision continues different rules for different policies and threatens to undermine the new market, and may lead to higher premiums and market disruptions in 2014 and beyond.
In addition, it is unclear how, as a practical matter, the changes proposed today by the President can be put into effect. In many states, cancellation notices have already gone out to policyholders and rates and plans have already been approved for 2014. Changing the rules through administrative action at this late date creates uncertainty and may not address the underlying issues.
“They’re telling us all about actuarial tables and all about how the process would work and all of this is fine and great and it would be great in a classroom and you would get an A on your test, but this isn’t about getting an A on your test, this is about ads,” said Rep. Steve Cohen...
Um, Congressman Cohen, I think it’s highly unlikely that they would get an A on that test. Their math is more deserving of an F.
Me either, but let's face it: the pansy men have a limit to their violence. Perhaps slapping someone with a purse. However, the women are pretty testosterone-laden. They might make it interesting instead of simply funny.
Heard our rat senator, Begich, in a commercial today saying that, if something is broke you keep working at it to fix it, you don’t give up. So, he voted to force this crap upon America unnecesarily, and then because it’s crap and doesn’t work at all, we have to keep working at it! That’s the American spirit! Keep working at putting those chains on America!
You’re right. I certainly wouldn’t want to get punched in the face by Janet Reno. She’s got arms like a truck driver’s...
You ever try to read 2,000 pages of computer code? You need two lawyers, a programmer, and an SEIU advisor and a solid month!
LOLOL.
