I just heard the mainstream radio news on the hour (ABC), and they are now saying that the insurance companies say it can’t be undone despite what obama says.

Someone has to pay for this mess, and Obama is far from finished making it. The final bill for this colossal screw up is going to be a doozy.

It is already too late to fallback to Cruz’s plan.

Fix = a dictate to insurance companies to break the law! The policies that are being cancelled do not meet the requiremets as written and passed by the dems in congress and upheld by the USSC, as a result this is a directive to break the law. What do you have when the executive branch dictates that the law be disregarded? You have tyranny.

The insurers thought they were on the gravy train with Obamacare, even though I’m sure they also knew it wouldn’t work.

When you have half the politicians in the country ready to make your business illegal and switch to single-payer, you don't have much choice but to "get on board" with whatever dictates they hand you that fall short of that.

that’s true. There was a lot of coercion involved in this, although I think Obama also held out the carrot of what was essentially a kickback to them for not opposing it.

Just keeps getting better and better/sarc

This starting to look like something out of a certain philisophical novel that references a certain Greek god?
