I understand it to be an extention and re-coverage on your original plan for only 30 days...Enough time for the media to latch onto something else in the meantime...
They dont give a rip now...So whats the difference??? ;-)
Also, the meeting Obama has scheduled with the big insurance reps can only mean that he will be dictating policy and buying those asshats off with whatever discretionary fund they can scrape up at this time...
Why would it be about anything else???
The administrations palne is in a flaming nose dive and they are desparate to pull out of it...No matter the political cost...If they can spin this to eventually screw over and blame the big insurance companies, or even the republicans or Bush, all the better for them...they believe they can politically weather this storm for 2014...
The odds might very well be in their favor though...
Let’s pray that there is one patriotic head of an insurance company who tells Obama off today.
Obama has put the companies in a liability situation—right now, they have no choice but to follow the law’s requirements BECAUSE IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND(caps are not directed to you—I just hate when they parrot that line).
The Emperor is naked—he cannot decree a change in the law, plus he publicly put the onus on the insurance companies to save his bacon, instead of his own Administration.
Why should the insurance compnaies play ball with him? Don’t they know that they have been shafted?
Plus, these companies are regulated by state insurance commissioners, some of which already have stated that the die is cast, n o changes come 1/1/14.
Pass the popcorn, this is going to get good.
BTW—call your reps in DC:
www.senate.gov
www.house.gov
Tell them why Obama cannot change a LAW on his own whim.
Tell them the smell in the air is the smell of impeachment, and a whole new slate of faces in Congress come January 2015.
They’ll understand that.
