With an eye on the 2014 midterm elections, a growing number of Democrats are voicing concerns about the insurance cancellations and website problems that have plagued the debut of the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges - a phenomenon highlighted Friday when 39 House Democrats broke ranks to support a GOP-authored bill that the White House said would undermine a "central premise" of the healthcare law.
It was a remarkable show of disunity from Democrats, who have splintered every which way in reaction to the Obamacare's rocky debut. And it raises an uncomfortable question for congressional Democrats who voted overwhelmingly in 2010 to approve the Affordable Care Act without any Republicans in tow: Will they have the political fortitude to stick to their guns and fend off changes to the law, or will a vulnerable caucus begin to accept alterations to a bill they've steadfastly safeguarded for years?
Despite the anxiety among her troops, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives insisted Sunday she isn't fretting about the law's future.
"I don't think it's in trouble," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters. "I think we just have to remain calm, get through the website getting fixed, clarify some misrepresentations about it."
"It's the law of the land," she added. "It's an important health, stability issue, security issue for the American people, and I believe that in a matter of months many more people will see that."
She dismissed the 39 Democratic votes for the GOP's proposal to prevent insurance cancellations by extending 2013 plans through 2014 as a "political" maneuver, noting that a similar number of Democrats joined Republicans on dozens of earlier votes to repeal or alter the law....

“It’s the law of the land,” but if we have learned anything from Obama, it’s that laws are meant to be broken.
Once Pelosi gets looped into a lie, she never gets out of it. She is still telling people this fascist boondoggle is going to be affordable.
"These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying"
That is flawed logic.
If you want to use those premium levels as an example...that is per person, per month. In the case of a family, take it times three...or four. Additionally, it could triple to $900 per life per month.
Great commission, too bad nobody can afford it.
BTW...in Maine, it's already around $400.
the democrats will throw enough money at it to make it through the 2014s and then it will collapse..
...so was just fugitive slave act.
the democrats will throw enough money at it to make it through the 2014s and then it will collapse..
You are dreaming. It’s not going to collapse on it’s own. The kenyan will just continue making @$@# up as he goes along to keep it alive.
Central premise? What’s the central premise- to throw the majority out of their current health insurance plans so they can be forced into dictated plans where they are grossly overcharged for mandated coverage they have no need for.
“It’s the law of the land,” she added.
So was Plessy v Fergeson. What’s your point?
Guess that you missed this-http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3071936/posts
Either it is or America is.....
Can’t have both.......
Don’t worry, the fascists in the GOPe will save Obama Care.
Yeah, some uber-RINOs voted like the RATs they are...that is hardly a “rally” to save HusseinCare.
A lot of bad juju has happened since September.
1942: "It is not even the beginning to the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
So tell us einstein, what do you know, besides nothing, and what have you done, besides nothing, that puts Churchill to shame?
Our immigration laws are the “law of the land”, but I don’t see Pelosi concerned with enforcing those laws.
My guess is in the end after the dust settles the individual mandate and policy coverage minimums will die quietly.
The policy of mandatory acceptance of people with preexisting conditions will stay as well as the expanded Medicare/Medicaid roles and as such Obamacare will be hailed as a landmark piece of legislation.
And as costs skyrocket then the Dems/MSM will blame the RINOs for skewering a perfectly good piece of legislation and putting the people in jeopardy all for politics.
I think you nailed it.
I agree, Fee, this is exactly what I have been saying over the last few days. The insurance company is now not your friend.
You know damn well what I meant.
