Obamacare includes a provision that allows the federal government to funnel taxpayer dollars to insurers that face the prospect of losing too much money under the new health care law, and conservative critics want to repeal it.

I have no idea what these guys are smoking back there...
The GOPe seemed to want Obamacare to run it’s course, fail, and then be cast aside.
Now the idiots are doing everything they can to ease the pain, make Obamacare less destructive, and more workable.
What the hell?
It’s as if they’ve turned into Obama’s Cheer-leading squad.
“Oh, it’s so bad. It’s hurting people. We can’t have that. Let’s bail Obama out. Pleeeeeeeese!”
Idiots!
REPEAL THE WHOLE ENCHILADA! Instead of this nickel-and-dime crap.
Sooo stupid. You pass a law making them EXEMPT from Obamacare regs-—that’s how you save them money and save us money without a bailout.
No, no subsidy.
Just stop messing with them. Business needs legal clarity and legal certainty. Economic uncertainty is normal life for a business but legal uncertainty is death. Legal uncertainty creates an oligarchy, and a two-tiered society: those who have an “in” with the powers-that-be, and those who don’t.
Rubio wants to repeal the part of Obamacare that rewards insurance companies for dropping their customers and forcing them to buy exchange policies, and this is a bad thing? This another poison pill.
Barry and the ‘RATS just “spreading” OUR wealth around among the insurance companies. What a deal.
ooops....I mis-edited the title....there were too many characters.....but the point is that this article explains McConnell/McCain/Graham/US Chamber or Commerce/Wall Street’s motivations to throw the middle class and small business out the window.......the big money talks here, in the form of the insurance companies.
The next thing we will hear is....We've decided to simply add another deduction to your payroll to pay for this in an equitable manner...and you can do whatever you want with your insurance.
I’ve been saying this for weeks...nice to see it get some play from Rubio.
It’s all posturing at this point because we know Obama would veto any changes that actually were substantial and did something. I’d like to see someone propose a bill to allow any state to choose to be exempt from Obamacare entirely.
Thanks-——bummer that I slightly mis-edited and once an article is posted, you can’t go back and correct anything.
Oh, the power of one small word!
Yeah. LOL.
If no other relief is in sight...
there was a thread the other day and nobody could figure out why the insurers were working with obumbler. Now we know.
Rubio presses to repeal Obamacare provision allowing insurance industry 'bailout'
Obamacare includes a provision that allows the federal government to funnel taxpayer dollars to insurers that face the prospect of losing too much money under the new health care law, and conservative critics want to repeal it.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said the provision could amount to a bailout of the insurance industry, which stands to lose if the troubled Obamacare exchanges fail to enroll enough people to make the system financially viable. Obamacare enrollment has already been stymied by glitches at the healthcare.gov sign-up site and it could be dampened again under an administrative fix President Obama proposed this week to resolve problems with millions of cancelled policies.
“Too big to fail” is in no way a justification for a bailout. If an entity (bank, insurance company, manufacturer, retail outlet or whatever) is “too big to fail”, the commercial operations of the financial world will be brought to bear. If THEY cannot make a determination that the enterprise is so hopelessly flawed it cannot be redeemed without a massive infusion of cash, those who have access to the coffers of the Federal (or “Feral”) government certainly do not have the expertise to make a judgment call.
Almost all those corporations and banking institutions that were given the “bailout” in 2008, and at various intervals between, would have passed through the reorganization they so desperately needed (and perhaps still need), and would have emerged a cleaner and leaner organization than when they went into bankruptcy proceedings. It is like putting a morbidly obese patient with impending heart failure, a cerebral stroke, diabetes, and spinal meningitis simultaneously on life support, and taking no corrective action at all. The entity becomes a zombie and the inevitable is only delayed.
That was totally obvious during the panic attack the RINOs exhibited during Cruz's 21 hours.
