Several Democratic senators reportedly plan to introduce as soon as Thursday a set of principles and legislation aimed at fixing parts of ObamaCare amid concerns the law could cost Democrats House seats and possibly the Senate in November.
Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va.; Mark Begich, D-Alaska; Mary Landrieu, D-La.; Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D.; Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.; and Sen. Angus King, I., Maine, will introduce proposals to improve the law, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Begich and Warner have called for allowing "copper" plans on the government-run health exchanges. The new insurance plans would offer lower premiums and higher out-of-pocket costs than the "bronze," "silver" and "gold" options currently offered.
"I've always been a believer that the law was not perfect, but you should continue to work to improve it," Begich told the newspaper. "People are seeing that as it's implemented, there are tweaks you need to do and there's just nothing wrong with that."

Self insurance works for some notwithstanding it can be risky and is a crapshoot.
I estimate that I saved, “on average”, between 1971 and 2013, in constant dollars, approximately 300-400 per month and that is likely overly conservative as my insurance the last few years would have cost me twice as much, or 600-800.
But, at say $350.00 per month that calculates to $180,600 that did not go to support an insurance company’s G650. (Worlds hottest/fastest private passenger jet)
And the GOP idiots will bend over backwards to help
I think Ill hold out for the Aluminum plan...
I was going to hold out for the Zinc plan,
but what we’ll get is the “Wooden Nickel” plan.
They need to be subject to the law themselves not exempt.
All these folks voted for Obamacare without having a clue what was in the bill. There’s no reason to trust these people... Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me...
It's just about time to introduce a brass-jacketed lead plan for most of these traitors to the Constitution.
