The House easily passed Republican legislation on Friday allowing insurers to keep offering old insurance plans for another year in response to President Barack Obama’s broken “if you like it, you can keep it” promise.

Go for broke and shoot for the stars!
“If you like your freedom, you can keep it as dictated in the Constitution”!
All this stuff will have to be debated. I don’t see anything happening before Nov. 30. Cruz may step in throw a stick in the spokes also.
Why pass a fix that doesn’t fix anything? Let the communist POS die. Repeal it!!
Not going to go down very well with the millions who have lost their insurance and those who will lose their insurance.
Isn`t it hilariously ironic !?
That`s how Reid passed the ACA aka obamacare. He gutted a House bill and replaced it, lock stock and barrel.
Per Newt Gingrich :
Watch the vote on the Upton bill Friday and you will begin to sense the depth of the panic.
If only 20 or so Democrats vote with Upton, there is nothing happening.
If more than 40 Democrats vote with Upton, there is a real crack in the Obama machine.
If over 80 Democrats vote with Upton, there is a stampede away from the President by many of his most loyal supporters.
Yep. Wow, they don’t call it the Stupid Party for nothing.
I bet dollars to donuts that most or all those who voted for Upton’s bill originally voted FOR Obamacare. Had they actually read the bill we wouldn’t BE here!
Here we go again with the back-and-forth crap. House/Senate/House/Senate/House/Senate
Don’t forget your toilet and air conditioner.
And this is the work of God... prayers are getting answered. You think that God just yawns at a celestial suggestion box?
It so happens that health care is near and dear to His heart like more plain jane economic things are not. Money is nothing to Him; He owns a worldful of it. But humans and their well being matter. Those people, God made for Himself, and He was so bent on blessing those sinners that He personally underwent a shameful death in full human view. (That’s why slavery was the catalyst for the cataclysmic Civil War, even though nominally the issues were myriad.) To debate how flawed Lincoln and General Sherman were or how noble General Lee was is to utterly miss the point there. People are so earthly minded they miss the heavenly issues.

Pelosi...
NOT SORRY!
‘President was completely accurate’...
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who shepherded Obamacare through the House as speaker, said Obama was “very gracious” in making that apology but that the president’s words – in the context of the law – were “absolutely” precise.
“There’s nothing in the Affordable Care Act that says that your insurance company should cancel you,” she told reporters. “That’s not what the Affordable Care Act is about. It simply didn’t happen.”

Obama...
FLASHBACK: Obama 2007: ‘I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution’...

Next year may come sooner than the Dems want.
Countdown: US Hits Debt Ceiling in 84 Days
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/11/15/countdown-US-Hits-Debt-Ceiling-in-84-days
Twelve weeks from today, the US government will hit its borrowing limit. When Congress lifted the debt ceiling last month, for the first time ever, it pegged the increase to a specific date, rather than a dollar amount. The current borrowing authority expires in just 84 days, on February 7th.
Should Republicans “Demand delay” or “Changes” to 0bamacare for extending the debt ceiling ?
If they do, I suspect they will get a boat load of Democrat support and may work to the Dems advantage.
Should they go one step further and call for a complete repeal of 0bamacare ?
How much democrat support would they get and would it lead to a compromise that is just another delay, which would allow dems some cover in their reelection efforts ?
This is going to get very interesting.
LOL!
The ‘We’ll Wait A Year To Break The Promise’ bill.
