Obama will offer health insurance cancellation fix today: Democratic anger building

WASHINGTON–President Barack Obama will offer a fix for people facing health insurance policy cancellations as a result of his Obamacare health care law today at 11:35 a.m. ET.

Earlier Thursday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi D-Calif., Obama will take action for people whose health insurance policies were cancelled as a result of his Obamacare health care law while House Democrats are also working on a plan.

“The president will offer a proposal today is my understanding and we have our own proposal which we think is really good. But we’ll see. And it has to be done in the next little period, Pelosi said, referring to cancellations kicking in on Jan. 1.

Speaking at The Atlantic Ideas forum, Pelosi said, “So again, stay tuned. It could be an administrative fix, it could be a legislative fix. I would prefer an administrative fix because it could be done much more quickly without any accompanying agendas.”

Pelosi’s comments come as Congressional Democrats—in particular those with big 2014 contests—are angry at the Obama White House, with cancellations of health insurance policies far more a political threat than the botched Obamacare website and the resulting initial low enrollments.

I doubt he’ll be apologizing to Rep. Joe Wilson, though.

The upset the demos feel is only because they got caught. Now a few more folks have figured them out. Like roaches they don’t like the light.

We have to be understanding Ken.

It’s not like hundreds of thousands of companies and citizens have sold products off a website... Obama’s going where no man has gone before with this idea of using the internet to sell a product. We should stand in awe... /s

Their “ultimate” plan is to use the power of the State to punish and exterminate their political opponents.

single payer healthcare is a method to that end

John Boehner said it was the law and would be funded, last year during the campaign.

Boehner did not vote for 0bamaCare, nor did any other Republican in Congress.

I did not say they did. That doesn’t mean they aren’t okay with it now that it is “the law of the land”.

What is benevolent about upending everyone’s family budget, then issuing an order that will only apply limited aid for a limited time to a portion of those already harmed?

Cue the injured Democrats whining “I think it is great that Obama is granting a stay of execution to some people, but I want to know why I was not one of them?”
