President Barack Obama said he and health care executives will be “brainstorming” ways to fix his troubled health care law at a Roosevelt Room meeting Friday afternoon.
-snip-
The meeting comes a day after Obama announced health care plans that don’t meet Affordable Care Act standards could still be sold to existing individual market customers. Obama said he and other White House officials would be asking the executives for their input on how best to implement the law.

It doesn't matter how we brand any kind of change, really.
But the end result has to remain the same. You got me?

Tell me what these people representing their shareholders’ interests can do? You expect them to do what your overpaid GOPee reps have not had the courage to do? The nation voted for this clown twice, business must adjust to the reality of it, and still attempt to make profit. What a deal! With the devil.

And as we all have witnessed, he loves giving away taxpayer money to anyone but the ones that paid it.
Also, see tagline......

“What we’re going to be doing is brainstorming how do we make sure that everybody makes sure what their options are,” Obama said before the meeting began.Oh, oh. Teleprompter's broke.

Obama to insurance executives:

I think I can coin a new word - blamestorming - as in Hussein is blamestorming with the insurers.
To: jimbo123
Brainstorming with the insurance companies is basically Zero begging the insurance companies to bail out his pathetic butt, while the insurance companies are negotiating how large the bail out will be.

I doubt that there are all that many capitalists among Insurance industry CEOs. They may be inclined to make a deal to save O’s ass in return for more taxpayer money It's the same thing as with the banking crisis.
Once Gov't money and mandates enter the free market and order business to operate against their will, business leaders will need Gov't money to get them out of a mess.
And I don't blame them much. If Gov't forces money in (Medicare for example) and that jacks up prices, then business have a right to ask that Gov't get them out of the mess.

Obama is brainstorming another trAp to debauche insurers and blame them... bribe, politics, temptation and division of the able vs. Disabled
