Nanna Pelousy can blow that health bill out her a$$.....with all those hemorrhoids blocking the exit hole, it could blow her entire butt off.
I hope her minions excommunicate her just like the pope did.

It’s all political theater. IF it passed, who cares what O does? It finally shows that, not unlike the Catastrophic Health Act in the 80’s, the lies have been exposed.

What people do with it is up to them. If they can “keep it if they like it” then the whole thing is moot.

Thus the next logical step by the GOP House (don’t hold your breath) is a simple one paragragh bill that simply says whatever law number this was passed under is 100% repealed with no exceptions.

Let the Dems eat that one too. But even though Xmas is coming I won’t hold out for that gift.

But I’m sure the moderate RINO’s will start back with their useless repeal “And Replace” crap.

But if funds are appropriated to make up the losses Obamacare won’t be ‘gutted’. It will be given life. And that’s what I expect to happen, voters want ‘free stuff’, and insurance companies want subsidies for their campaign donations.

I agree in the sense that they will find money to bail out the insurance companies.

But I assume that passing legislation that allows people to keep their cancelled plans, has to nullify that section of the Obamacare bill which forces people off their plans.

It has to be one or the other.

In 1952 the average car cost $1800 .Amputations are still cheap. Keeping the leg and treating the cancer so the patient can live, not so much. You do realize we don’t practice medicine with 1950’s techniques and technology right?

Obama won’t sign such bill, because if he does, the entire ZeroCare pyramid scheme will come unglued.

Health insurance existed before that, you bought an individual policy, just like any other insurance.

And as Rand Paul has suggested, it should be sold like life insurance. Buy an affordable, 40-year policy at age 21, to take you to retirement/Medicare.

They voted for it. I see no reason for their current actions.

What? they had to pass it to see what was in it?

Well damn, take sharp objects away from them and give them a helmet since they are that stupid..

Do we have enough padded rooms?

How does passing this bill get my insurance company to reconsider dropping all group health insurance plans at the end of this year?

Such the same you're a white employed white guy with family pondering this. You may want to change your pigmentation, lose the chick and your breedlings, then check back, you might have some subsidies coming your way.

It will be given life, all right, as the destoyer of the Democratic Party. The result of this debacle is that the U.S. government will be liable to the insurance companies for hundreds of billions extra when the only people who sign up are the "takers". The only subscribers will be those whose ACA tax credit covers all, or virtually all, of their premium. In the end it will just be a Medicare/Medicade expansion to those who earn less than $45,000 single, $60,000 couple, etc. Instead of being "revenue neutral", as advertised when enacted in 2010, the ACA will increase the deficit by (my estimate) around $300 billion per year. Everyone over $45,000-$60,000 etc. will go uninsured, since their old policies are now illegal. They will either pay the $700 per year fine or avoid it, since it can only be collected from tax refunds.

What a glorious mess! This, of course, cannot be allowed to happen. Therefore, the Republicans need to either repeal O'care or delay its implementation for a couple of years while all this is straightened out. This will override Obama's veto, since any Democrat that doesn't help resolve this is going to get voted out in 2014.

This is tailor-made for Senator Cruz to bring this legislation forward in December.

Who would have thought this would happen a month ago! Remember the derision at Cruz's position in October? Now everyone is becoming a believer, while still throwing brickbats at Cruz.

“...but he emphasized that he was “not closed to the option,” and would “reserve judgment” until he had seen the legislative text, which is reportedly undergoing some tweaks....”

Interesting, he wasn't too interested in actually reading the bill when he originally voted for it...:^)

They will be held accountable for voting for it and not reading it.

And this is why the “far right” was all right when we said this law would cost far more than was being estimated by the CBO or anyone else.

The only fiscal result from the “you can keep your plan” act is that the policies for people who were not covered before will have to be supremely expensive. Which means the only way Obamacare can cover more people at that point is by the government subsidizing the plans. Essentially this “new” version of Obamacare will become a federal bail-out of everybody who had neglected to buy health insurance prior to now. So this will basically expand the Medicaid expansion, putting more people onto an expensive entitlement, free health care. The difference now is that it will be funded by general tax dollars instead of health insurance premiums.

The “you can keep your health care” act is the next step towards single payer. This was probably planned all along.

I do not believe the Demonrats will EVER vote for that bill.

Even if the bill passes, and the Clown SIGNS it, there is every reason to believe the Clown will NOT enforce the law.

The Clown does NOT enforce existing law—by design. He has proven that over and over again.

Don’t bail out the Kenyan.

Conservatives had a chance to get rid of O in a stunning way, but 4 MILLION of them did NOT VOTE in the presidential election. O could have been handed a near landslide but 4 million conservatives did NOT VOTE.

So no one to blame but those who did not vote. The reason many gave was they did not have a conservative to vote for... so purity helped o win and ensured that we will have an even more liberal SCOTUS.. probably forever.

Can anyone tell me which conservative who was running would have been worse than O?

Fools.

If he agrees that they should be able to keep their policies, why did he vote for ObamaCare?

Because he is just another lying Marxist trying to pretend that he is doing his best for the voters leading up to an election.
