Republican lawmakers are blasting the Obama administration's decision to exempt large numbers of people from having to buy insurance under Obamacare — a last-ditch attempt to help the millions of people who received insurance cancellation notices because of the new healthcare law. ....
"We asked Secretary Sebelius point blank what would be the next holiday surprise, and she was silent. Yet, here we are with another major policy shift," said Tennessee GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Fox reports. "The sad reality is that when the law takes effect come Jan. 1, more Americans will be without coverage under Obamacare than one year ago."
"Less than two weeks from going live, the White House seems to be in full panic mode. Rather than more White House delays, waivers, and exemptions, the administration should provide all Americans relief from its failed law," she added.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., called it a "slap in the face" to those already enrolled in Obamacare.
"Holding a fire sale of cheap insurance is not a responsible fix for a broken program. This is a slap in the face to the thousands of Americans who have already purchased expensive insurance through the Obamacare exchanges," he said.
The insurance industry also reacted negatively to the news, saying the decision to allow people to sign up for "catastrophic" coverage plans would cause tremendous "instability."
"This latest rule change could cause significant instability in the marketplace and lead to further confusion and disruption for consumers," Karen Ignagni, head of America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade group, told the Journal.

The emperor has no clothes.
No doubt about that.
And worse (or better) yet, Americans are laughing at Michelle and the PJ sissy’s efforts to sell Obama-care.

Yeah... sure they are. Off to Hawaii...
Rubio seems to be getting quoted a lot lately. I guess the MSM is trying to repair the damage he did to himself so that he can be the GOPe stooge for 2016.

More problems for the Dictator and his RAT brigade.
The operative word is "seemed." He sure fooled you, Tingles!
What is the date for We The People to rally in DC?
DROP SCHEMA OBAMACARE;
I don’t know. I feel that they are looking for a conflict to exploit. How do we show our outrage and at the same time maintain a calm control that will drive them absolutely crazy?
I know it sounds totally contradictory.
THEY can embrace the suck.
Hahaha!
It’s becoming like the old weather joke. Don’t like the law, wait five minutes.
Unfortunately, this is serious and our lives and future are at stake.
“significant instability in the marketplace and lead to further confusion and disruption for consumers,”
IMHO I’ve always thought that was the intent all along.
Mockery.
