Yes, he is a RINO.

Delaying this is a bad idea. Why would the GOP push this issue away until after 2014?

I think that is a good question.

We ought to be thinking about those people.

Taking off their chains is not thinking about them Mr. Upyours?

That’s not what we ought to be doing. We ought to be thinking about those people.

Hello, Nanny State. "We ought to be thinking about those people who can't think (and act) for themselves." He's the same as liberal Dems, only in slightly milder form. These freaking power-hungry bastards in Congress and media need to be humbled. It will happen, eventually.

Rush is a blowhard. He effectively shot down the candidacies of everybody except Romney in the last election - and then I remember how he almost broke down in tears when he described Romney and his wife walking out together somewhere and how they looked like “such decent Americans” (sorry, Rush, Romney always looked and sounded like a plastic man with no values) - because it made him feel powerful to be able to do it.

Rush has never run for office, never held a job outside of media, and while he’s sometimes good, he’s just what any media person is: all about himself.

Why we have let Rush Limbaugh call the shots, I do not know. He’s almost never right, he thinks it’s all a joke, and in fact I think his “Operation Chaos” was actually indirectly responsible for bringing us Obama.

Reid isn’t even going to bring it to the Senate floor. It is dead.

Delaying it for a year does nothing. The same people will just get the same cancellation letters before the next "enrollment." Then you have the Employer cancellations coming, if Hussein doesn't decree that these letters must not go out first before the elections.

These policies just can't be walked back. The insurance companies have to comply by the law. I am just seething with rage at the Republicans. All they have to do is order Obama to repeal the law or implement it entirely. If Obama doesn't implement the law as required, then impeachment proceedings must take place.

Google Kate Upton and, to quote Paul Simon, “I believe in the morning you will begin to see the light.”

I’m sick of repubs bitching about Uptons bill - it effectively completely repeals Obamacare for 1 year (allowing everyone to buy non-Exchange plans), and is a bill that would stand a good chance of continually getting reupped as the law disintegrates. Plus, as Dems have been screaming, it will throw a wrench into the risk pool on the exchange, where all the sick would go and everyone heathy would avoid. As an added bonus it has the Dems screaming “Repubs should help us fix this” stuck trying to explain how this isn’t a fix despite many Dems, including the Pres, offering similar

The bill is freakin awesome and Repubs complaining are kind of doing exactly what Dems accuse them of - hating anything Obamacare related just because it’s Obamacare related

After one year all those plans then become illegal and all get cancelled again. Of course, getting those plans extended might not even be possible.

All it does is allow the Dems a pass for the next election

BTW Mt. Upyours

Limbaugh or anyone else does not need to check in with you to express their opinions

My niece and her family had their insurance canceled. She thinks this fix is idiotic because their policy dies anyway. This short term thing really is not much of a help.

The Republican establishment is carrying the water for the big multinational corporations and Wall Street banks who want single payer federal government controlled medical care as fast as they can get it. It is all about money. The big corporations will save billions by eliminating the cost of employee health care premiums from their income statements.

McConnell, Boehner, Romney, Upton, and the rest are willing collaborators with the statist socialists.

UPTON: We’ve done in a week’s time what a shutdown and everything else, where we didn’t have the numbers, let’s face it, to try and reverse the fix that we’re in.

What exactly has he done?

Nothing, and he's bragging about the number of votes it got.

And he's saying how much better he is than the shutdown.

And the cancellation notices will be sent out when?

...oh yeah, Aug-Oct - you know, just like this year. That means everyone would again be getting kicked right before Midterms, and Dems would again have the same prob they have today, just on steroids!

That is why I say it would likely get reupped, and likely for 2 years at that time, meaning Obamacare is effectively repealed until 2016 (and Obama would be desperately trying to keep the exchanges afloat, instead of us trying to do the opposite)
