KOMO News ^ | November 14, 2013

Just hours after President Obama announced changes to his health care law to give insurance companies the option to keep offering consumers plans that would otherwise be canceled, Washington state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler says those changes will not be allowed in our state.

Can’t complain much, was accepted by Medicaid recently (I’m thankful but don’t like taking from the public trough) because jobs are scarce and I don’t have insurance. At least it means I’ll be able to start seeing doctors and be able to get my health to where it should be. I don’t mean to complain, but endocrine problems make me feel like an old man, and that’s no good when you’re only 28.

Other than that, finished Matt’s (Travis McGee) first book last night, and while I enjoyed it, the ending made me sad. He’s a good writer, and you could probably find his books around for a decent price, if you don’t mind points in the book that would make your blood boil. But if you’ve already read Unintended Consequences, then you’ve experienced something like it already.

That is the kicker - they don’t have to do anything he says.

The states and insurance companies won't/can't comply--then wallah! He now has someone to blame. That is what this all about.

Essentially they have to decide to either follow the current law or the illegal instructions of a community organizer.

Looks like they chose to follow the law.

Obama can’t simply decree outside the confines of legislation..

I disagree. He can do any thing he wants for as long as he wants. And he has and will so continue. Until someone stops him. And I don't see any politician or judge with hair to do that so far.

""I have empathy for these people, I certainly feel for them, but at the same time, people really have a chance right now to shop and compare various health plans and make some decisions that best fits themselves and their families in ways that could never do before," Kreidler said.

They can shop? Really?

Oh you mean Obama was not an expert on all the nuances of what he is doing?

When Dear Leader Barack is in a Porta-Potty, he's pretty much the smartest guy in the room...

The stuff below him is smarter...

Trust me people care because this is directly effecting them and in real time not years later.
Most people either will personally lose their HC in the next year or have a loved one lost theirs and have to get on ACA for more money, less services.

People don't like losing their doctor either. The left is a big evil lie.

And I’ll bet Bill Gates gets the best health coverage of all in the State of Washington! He could and probably has bought his own doctors, hospital room, etc., etc., and enough to buy a fully staffed modern hospital for just himself and his family.

he pays CASH

Re: “And we all know cancellation is change.”

According to ObamaCare, a price increase is also “change.”

So, if your “restored” policy has gone up in price since you last paid, technically, the restored policy should be illegal.

Obama has exempted dozens of union health plans from the price rule.

Re: “Those dumb Boeing machinists not taking their contract deal.”

It’s worse than that.

A lot of people in the state don’t realize that the Legislature is (was) in special session.

They just voted around $2 billion in tax breaks and technical education benefits for the aviation industry, most of it, obviously, going to Boeing.

The Union voted AFTER the tax breaks passed.

I’ll guess they keep voting “NO” until Boeing agrees to put most of its tax break into union paychecks.

How many people will lose NOT JUST THEIR INSURANCE but THEIR LIVES over this “community planning?”

Remember, there are very sick people in treatment who might not be insured on January one, then what??

Yeah....and they have a LOT of angry relatives and friends.

Buy stock in companies making pitchforks, scythes, rope and tar.

It is amazing how liberals pass legislation to try and stop the very natural consequences of their idiotic laws. They are perpetually attempting to trick the laws of economics.

Just a reference for all of you. This is a list of R submitted amendments that the D’s rejected regarding the ACA.
