Actually this is a pretty good idea. It’ll keep the insurance companies from cutting secret deals with Obama.

Now they are going to be fighting over who gets credit for bailing out the insurance companies after this debacle.

My cynicism compels me to wonder how many Health Insurance conglomerates are actually owned and run by organized crime syndicates (the mob). I would bet a kick back in all of this obozocare billions goes for the crooks in DC who are trying to keep it afloat. Plugs said it himself; this is a big effing deal. And if any establishment A hole in DC was out to screw the American people, Plugs would be the first in a very long line.

Republicans have to stop dancing around the fringes of the ObamaCare failure with these proposals of fix, modify or delay. The only message is defund and repeal, defund and repeal.

? What are you talking about, DO? My reading is that Obama is ABOUT to bail out the insurance companies by giving them taxpayer money to “renew” those popular plans for one year.

Rubio wants to STOP that from happening-—NO taxpayer money for Obamacare. That is a GOOD idea.

I think you have a valid beef with my comments. I actually thought this was more of the same thing Congress tried to do last week.

His objection is reasoned, and I was off base.

Thanks for mentioning it.

In this case Rubio wants protection for the taxpayer so Obama can't raid us for a bailout.

I don't call that dancing. I call that blocking Obama.

"Provisional" repeal?

Just end the whole darned thing already!

Republicans have provisional testosterone, if you ask me...
