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."

Democrats are feeling the sting of the electorate----voters steaming from broken promises, the disastrous online rollout, hundreds of thousands of policy cancellations, sticker shock over coverage, ruinous deductibles, fleeing doctors, chaotic hospital networks, plus Obama's self-serving changes and delays in the law to make himself look good.
===================================================
When Fla Republican David Jolly defeated Dummy Alex Sink, Dem leaders explained away the outcome by arguing that Republicans had a 13-point turnout advantage. But the Dum-Dums failed to mention that PELOSI WAS THE MAGIC VOTE-GETTER --- FOR REPUBLICANS
National Journal reported Repub strategists had measured which messages were most effectively persuading voters to turn in their ballots.
In Jolly's race, Repubs turned to a message—delivered across a variety of digital platforms and email.
The powerful message focused on urging Repubs to vote now or watch Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi move one step closer to reclaiming the speaker's gavel.
any further changes makes for the law to be null and void. Gee why doesn’t anybody in DC see that the law has morphed so much that it is no longer what was passed it is entirely something else and does not needed to be funded any longer. The House is the one whom controls the purse DEFUND IT. (caps on because the government minder may be to dumb to be able to read the small print)
A “Brass” plan?
A “Brass” plan?
This is gonna be fun. I’m pretty sure that Reid will have to allow amendments..Look for Cruz to tack on one calling for either repeal or postponent for, say 125 years..
Forget the copper plan. How about a scrap iron plan?
Or a lead plan?

The “Polished Turd” plan.
Okie dokie, then we can put both of you down as favoring Obama making changes to Obamacare without going through Congress?
That’s nice.
“Fixing” the unfixable? Like fixing a Yugo with Ford parts.
Or a lead plan?
The fool's gold plan.
??? I never even wrote anything close to that. My statement is based on reality that if insurance companies lose money then their stock becomes worthless.
According to King Obama, only he can change the law!
That’s nice.
No.
We have to remember that it is often business who supports Government mandates and controls to avoid competition.
The Copper plan probably covers bandaids and birth control. All for only $50,000.
“We’re from the government and we are here to help”
For someone who is 25-30 years old and in average health, an Obamacare "insurance" plan is like an auto insurance policy with a $15,0000 deductible -- on a car that has a replacement value of $18,000 to $20,000.
That's right. Why don't they just "draft executive orders" for Obamao to sign like Shiela Jackson Lee said they would?
Too little, too late. Everyone is on to you guys, even the LIVs.
