The House passed legislation on Friday that allows insurance companies to offer health plans that were cancelled for not meeting new requirements under ObamaCare.Thirty-nine Democrats broke with their party's leaders and backed the bill despite a veto threat by the White House, highlighting the political problem the issue has come for President Obama’s party. Only four Republicans opposed it
im trying to figure out who is the idiot the congress or the people who wants to keep a half ass insurance policy that covers not much but hey they saved a few bucks, but even though they might not get sick they can have accidents for the young that's something to think about.
second why is the right wing pushing for voters to be under insured and why are they listening. it looks like had they been able to get the message out about AC there are still those who want to stay where republicans want them, at big insurance's feet.
Most of the Democrats who defected from their party face tough reelection campaigns next year. Republicans have promised the 2014 midterm elections will be all about the healthcare law, which polls show is unpopular.
The House vote also puts immediate pressure on Senate Democratic leaders to take action. Seven Senate Democrats have backed a bill that would require insurers to offer the cancelled plans.
this bill was designed to undermine ACA they now need those ins. co's to accept the deal, but they now have both parties over a barrel if they do they could kill the health care and millions of Americans chance at having it.
if they don't then the green eggs are on the right wings face and Americans lose and republicans don't care as long as they can get at least one win against Pres.
Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) explained the problem by equating the canceled plans to old cars without modern safety features, and said allowing these plans to exist would make ObamaCare unworkable.“If anyone who wants to can buy one of these cars without an air bag, or cars without seat belts — and that's what these plans are — then you will find that the new marketplaces don't have enough people in them,” he said. “And when they don't have enough people in them, the rates will rise.”
excellent parable they were called hooptie's guess from now on you get good health care or a hooptie plan
