Obama Admits That Obamacare is Unworkable
This
president’s announcement today that the White House will allow health insurance companies to continue selling plans that do not meet the Affordable Care Act’s minimum criteria—millions of which have already been subject to cancellation notices—is likely to be a pivotal moment in the political fight over the 2010 health law. It’s the moment in which President Obama, prodded by his own party, is making his first, tacit admission that Obamacare is unworkable.
It may not seem that way at first, because the most immediate impact of the move is to stave off political pressure. The announcement comes in response to growing urgings from congressional Democrats to take action in response to health plan cancellations that have occurred, and are expected to continue occurring, as a result of Obamacare. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and five other Senate Democrats said this week that they backed a bill that would require insurers to continue offering plans into 2014. A separate bill offered by Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) would have simply allowed insurers to keep offering plans that do not meet Obamacare’s requirements.
So the rollback begins - and as time goes by less and less notice will be paid to Obamacare... until it can be quietly dismantled and the parts tossed into the trash.
When it comes to political survival, Obama's ego-stroking signature achievement is truly expendable.

Speaking of Obama:
"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron." - H. L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

So the law is not the law anymore? What's the point of passing something if you just ignore it's provisions when they become politically inexpedient. Sorry, Mr. President, but I don't think you get a pass on this one.

This is perfect. I'm going to spread it around.

This is about fake sites that are stealing your data.\
Authorities in California shut down 10 fake Obamacare websites, amid nationwide concern among law enforcement officials about potential fraud during the program's rollout, the state's attorney general said on Thursday.

Obama said "if you like running with scissors keep running with scissors for another year. Good luck."
Your old policy doesn't protect you from bankruptcy and has all the old limits, like yearly, lifetime, and so forth, doesn't provide all preventive care free, and won't cover your kids to 25.
The teatraitors insisted on leaving in the provisions that allow the insurance companies to try to scare everyone like this. Sorry but I predicted this when ACA passed.

No, they paid it all back.
You're lying again.

When you define 'truth' as "Whatever the government tells you", it seems as though the whole world is lying.

You're a nut.
It was in all the newspapers.
Apparently except for the ones you read. Apparently you don't read anything except Murdoch.
