Reid calls special ObamaCare meeting
The Hill ^ | November 13, 2013 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 11/13/2013 1:12:32 PM PST by jazusamo

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday will convene a special meeting of the Senate Democratic caucus and senior White Officials to discuss the troubled rollout of ObamaCare.

Reid on Wednesday told reporters he would not answer questions about the hundreds of thousands of insurance policy cancellations or other issues until he has further discussions with the White House.

The Senate leader said President Obama called him Tuesday evening to discuss healthcare and other issues.

Several Democrats have signed onto a proposal sponsored by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) that would force insurance companies to let people keep their health plans if they like them.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said he would have a better idea of what proposals Democrats will push to improve the new law after the Thursday meeting.

Republicans could scarcely contain their glee over the growing Democratic anxiety.

"Obviously panic has set in on the other side," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said.

Without the lie of “you can keep your plan and doctor”, Obamacare would not be law, and Obama would not be president after Jan, 2012.

Well said.

Look now at where this goes and ends.

The democrats have disgraced themselves and injured 5 million good citizens who through no fault of their own have lost their (and their families') health insurance. There will be a Republican House and a Republican Senate.

There will be impeachment charges in the House of Representatives. That will include exposure that Obama does not even qualify to be president.

There will be a trial in the senate. Removal of Obama from the office.

Once he is removed prosecution of Obama will follow for the fraudulent false promises that people could keep their insurance and their doctor if they wished. A prison sentence looms for serial frauds on the people.

The bills are more mandates on top of the mandates that got us in this mess. Total nonsense.

Spot on.

How do you force an insurance company to let someone keep their plan at the same price AND comply with obamacare's mandates? You can't.

If insurance plans don't have to comply with the obamacare mandates then obamacare is null and void.

Dean Wormer agrees as long as it is a double secret meeting.

Hold onto your wallets boys and girls. Zero and Harry are about to fix the problem by subsidizing massive numbers of insurance policies until we get past the 2014 elections. Of course this will all be sold as a temp fix.

The GOP will fold like cheap cameras.

Headline after headline should read: Obama, Reid and the Democrats SHUT DOWN America’s Healthcare System with Lies and Deceit!

How many headlines did the media have stating that Cruz shut down the Government.(when he really didn’t) Fair-play, now it’s time for the Dems to be held accountable for destroying our healthcare system!!! Folks, they are against the ropes....jab, jab, jab....

"The RATS are scared and that is when they are the most dangerous."

Agreed. They have been exposed by their own arrogance and incompetence. This one has Cloward-Piven written all over it and the dems own every last vote of it.

As with any other fiscal 'crisis', the solution will be to force taxpayers to pay for the resolution. Taxpayers currently over the Obamacare tax credit limit will get a tax credit equivalent to those under the limit, phased down as income rises, for one year, or for a two or three year phase-out. The cost will be $150 to $200 billion. That's my rough prediction.

The more computer work I see being done by this white house, the less I’m concerned about being the government spying on me.

They’re still used in the print media, just not on the Internet. Too fast for love.

Mary Landrieu (Dim-La) has legislation all the desperate Dims who stupidly voted for Boobamba/Care think could save their seats......mandating that those "rotten insurance companies" re/offer plans that were cancelled by Obama and Dims own stupidity.

"Little Mary Sunshine" is desperate to save her seat---they got her on tape---parroting the ruinous Obama phrase "if you like your plan you can keep it."

Dems hope to dupe the voters---by creating the impression insurance companies----not Obamacare----caused the cancellations.

They are planning on doing a bill reading to find out what really is in there.
