Dems: Fixes not enough on O-Care

The Hill ^ | December 11, 2013 | Alexander Bolton

[Madame Dufarge]

Alternate headline:

Panicked Democrats Announce Turd-Polishing Caucus.

[Lou L]

Democratic lawmakers are worried other potential problems could crop up.

Yes, potential problems like voters people who lost their policies, and come January 1, will likely have no healthcare.

[central_va]

“Die quickly” bump.

[11th Commandment]

These Senators are morons. Obama and Pelosi sacrificed 65 Democrats in the house for O-Care. Many were “blue dogs” that just got elected 2 - 4 years earlier. Reid has hung on to the Senate by GOP stupidity. Do these Senators really think Obama, a self absorb egomaniac really care about their seat?

[DaveA37]

“Democ(Rats) are abandoning the sinking ship, proving once again that, in politics, the number one motivating force is self-preservation.”......

Now that they passed it, the demodummies decided to read “odumbocare” and find it is not such an ideal program. Now, they want to change it to save their own skins.

A conservative alternative to Obamacare

Shaheen wants to extend the enrollment period for the ACA; Landrieu wants to mandate that insurance companies continue to offer plans that people like, even if they don’t meet the law’s requirements; and Udall wants to expand the pool of people included in the individual insurance marketplace.

So Ted Cruz is not a hostage taker, an extortionist, and a jihadist after all.

How many restaurants and stores will close because of the hundreds more a month going for healthcare.

[EVO X]

They want to mandate that the insurance companies keep offering plans that had to be cancelled in order to comply with Obamacare. When those insurance companies (and state regulators) refuse - and some have already

According to our local paper, one of the insurance providers in the area said 20K people can keep their old insurance plans for one more year. However, the premiums are ~22% more.

[IMR 4350]

Yep

It’s designed to drive small business out of business.

Example

McDonalds gets a waver other smaller hamburger joints don’t.

Drive the small hamburger joints out of business and McDonalds gets more business.

McDonalds then supports the existing govt. with their increased income.

Government and business working together.

You can call it crony capitalism, you can call it The Third Way, but no matter what you call it it’s still National Socialism.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The “fixes” will be a mix of populist platitudes (you WILL keep your doctor) and even more Socialism. They will never see the light of day in the House.

This is all about Dem Sens being able to go to their voters and say “Hey, I TRIED to fix it!”

[Cowboy Bob]

I can’t wait to lick their tears.

[GOPJ]

Only democrats voted fro this bill...

Democrats didn’t bother to read “Obamacare” because they couldn’t wait to have hundreds of healthcare companies lined up outside their offices with wads of money to ‘tweak’ t regulations in their favor.

Democrats are a bunch of corrupt liars... they deserve to be thrown out of office.

[VRW Conspirator]

Just wait until the first quarter obamacare driven bankruptcies start rolling in.

Just wait until those suffering from cancer or other deadly diseases do not get life saving treatment.

[Din Maker]

I predict that if they do pass a law allowing changes to ObamaCare, the narcissist Prez will veto it.
