Nut. That was during the Nixon Years. Cameras were not allowed. :^)
What they need to do is repeal it with an effective date of Jan, 1 2015, giving the entire healthcare industry time to recalculate. There’s too many moving targets right now for anybody with a brain to make any intelligent decisions.
I don't think "adverse selection" will be a problem, because only 50,000 people have signed on so far, and many of those have probably signed on for Medicaid.
If the Democraps are bailing, they should be able to override Obama's veto.
Is this really happening?
Too late.
Declaring it so doesn’t make it so.
Imagine a zoning law draconian enough that whole neighborhoods had to be bulldozed to comply. As the last houses tumble, the occupants scream “but you said we could keep our homes!” loud enough that the zoning board relents and declares “fine, you can keep your homes.” Too late, the homes are destroyed and gone.
Likewise health care plans. Anything which doesn’t comply with the new law has been overhauled to a modified & more expensive form, or cancelled outright. The plans we wanted to keep are gone. The insurance companies are not going to recreate them for a few people, as they required broader adherence to work. “You can keep your plan!” the Left will declare. Too damn late: the plans are gone, the declaration meaningless but as an example of how far out of touch with reality the Left is.
I can't see any reason for Obama and insurers to resurrect the old non ACA compliant plans AND let people come off the exchanges plans and buy an old plan (if they qualify??).
Of course. That's why the Collaborators have been pushing the "let it collapse under its own weight" theme. They know it won't.
So, Obama could hold the Democrats hostage? Sweet!
I agree. Best that the idiots who voted for it suffer good and hard.
The breakdown is happening too fast. The insurers have a bailout baked into Obamacare, but perhaps they're realizing they are not ever going to sell very many of those "shiney new" policies, and getting back those old policies and the customers that go with them could be looking pretty good about now. The bailout doesn't work if the industry dies altogether. Because it's flaring out so fast, the insurers have perhaps finally realized they've been duped, and would be willing to back off the whole sorry idea, while there's still time (and there is). Perhaps they'll decide they don't want to wait around for the evil emperor to say, "Young fool...only now, at the end, do you understand..."
I told you guys that when the Debt Limit can the Democrats kicked down the road came rolling to a stop the Obamacare worms would slither out. They are now out and they don’t have a clue as to how to get then back in the can.
Boehner will fold before you can say, "cheap suit."
Still, this would be for the best. Allowing people to keep their plans will gut Obamacare, and end it legislatively.
If they suffer, I suffer, and I don't want to suffer. Because if I suffer, my family suffers, and that would make me suffer even more. That whole idea is just ... wait for it ... insufferable.
Republicans should NOT get suckered into this!
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Don't forget Hillarycare '93 as her Obamacare alternative.
But if funds are appropriated to make up the losses Obamacare won’t be ‘gutted’. It will be given life.
And that’s what I expect to happen, voters want ‘free stuff’, and insurance companies want subsidies for their campaign donations.
lol...bela pelosi..
EMPLOYER FUNDED Health Insurance. Health insurance existed before that, you bought an individual policy, just like any other insurance. THAT interference by the government is the Ur problem with our healthcare to this day.
