A former president who keeps promises that suit him has urged the current president to keep his promise to the American people and let them keep their healthcare.
With no other options, the current president agreed.
This morning, the insurance companies are meeting with the president. That meeting might have been helpful BEFORE the presser yesterday.
Think the insurance industry doesn't need to chew a Rolaids? They spent three years trying to come up with something to fit the command from on high. Now it's "Oh, NEVERMIND". Now all they need to do is just give people back their substandard, illegal, nonexistent plan. Right.
Imagine how this is disrupting the market. And imagine the pall the insurance companies must sense, knowing the next step is to blame THEM for the chaos that will ensue when they have to charge for what the boss ordered.
That's when Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block the regulation that would narrow the grandfather clause. Republicans warned the regulation would result in cancelled policies. EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED TO BLOCK THIS RESOLUTION.
In fact, there were many earlier voices (called "extremists") who called for caution or a delay of the Affordable Care Act until the act could get its act together. That wasn't possible. It was the law of the land.
So we went full throttle into the land of Oz, only to call caution back from the dead. The president gave us this wonderful "fix" coupon yesterday, but it is really only a pause button, good for one year. Meanwhile, Americans want to know where the president got the power to do all this law changing?
The power comes from a lonely man. THIS POLITICO ARTICLE says he doesn't consult his cabinet. We know he doesn't consult Congress. He plays a LOT of golf with junior aides. An article out yesterday said some time back he told his staff to quit bringing him so many decisions to make. That may explain why he doesn't know anything about any of the scandals in his administration, but it sure doesn't reflect well on his leadership.
The curtain has been pulled back and we are seeing the truth..but THE BIG LOSER IS THE FABRIC OF OUR REPUBLIC.
