[ba1614]

Make him veto it

 

[oreo]

One day after announcing he "might" change Obamacare to let people keep their present health care plans, Senators are revealing that he threatened to veto a bill to do just that.

Oh, well. So much for Presidential promises.

Obama Issues Veto Threat for "Keep Your Plan" Legislation - Katie Pavlich

If you want your plan, you can keep....veto!

The House of Representatives is getting ready to vote on legislation today legalizing the reinstatement of lost insurance plans thanks to Obamacare. Essentially, the Keep Your Plan Act does exactly what President Obama administratively (and probably illegally) declared as a "fix" for mass insurance cancellations. Late last night GOP Leader Eric Cantor revealed President Obama intends to veto the legislation should it pass and reach his desk for a signature.

Of course he will. No surprise here. The Republican house just passed a bill with bi-partisan support that would allow Americans to keep their insurance as was promised by Obama more than 40 times. You can bet that bill is dead on arrival in the Senate. The Senate has introduced a similar bill--that may be tabled or if it comes to the floor will be voted upon and passed, AND THEN if Republicans are smart in the house--they should approve the Senate bill--which bounces this hot potato right back in Obama's lap--and everyone in America--can watch him VETO the fix bill--

Otherwise if the Senate passes their own version and the house doesn't go along--Republicans will be blamed from here to eternity for not passing the Senate's version of the keep your insurance plan bill. IOW--the Dog and Pony show for who gets the blame is on the agenda.

Liar--Liar pants on fire.

So in less than 24 hours after telling the nation he will let us keep our policies, he now will veto legislation that allows us to keep it.

As best I can tell, the screwup was in all the conditions, and limits, and loopholes in the grandfather clause;

they should just clean that up, say happy now?, and move on.

The screw up was in conceiving, writing, and passing the ACA to begin with. They need to clean that up by repealing it and putting in actual reform that helps people.

The question I would ask is WHAT ELSE would the House try to sneak into their bill? You can be absolutely, positively sure that any bill the House would put up would have absolutely zero to do with making ACA work. We are speaking of the gop which has voted to repeal ACA 41 times and now we are supposed to believe they want to pass a bill that would help ACA succeed. I'm sorry, I was never raised to be an idiot.

You have to take several million people off the insurance they've gotten on ACA in order to repeal it,

and nobody has a better plan that will ever pass.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The Republicans in the House are now going to prevent Obama from fixing the bill by refusing to pass any bill that can pass the Senate or get the president to sign.

If the ACA isn't fixed, it will be 100% the GOP's fault.

There aren't "several million people" on insurance through ACA, numbnuts. There are only 150,000 who signed up. And even that figure is grossly inflated. There are however over 5M who have already lost coverage.
The GOP has a much better plan but since it's the GOP and it empowers people instead of making them dependent on gov't handouts the Dems will oppose it tooth and nail.

You are saying that we should trash ACA and accept the republican plan for health care. The problem with this is that in the 3+ years that have elapsed since ACA was passed the republicans have done absolutely nothing to make ACA better or to develop and propose an alternate plan.
Currently the only organized plan the republicans seem to have is to do nothing about everything.
Oh, and by the way, republicans were giving ample opportunity to help write and tailor the bill to make it better. They wasted their opportunity and now all they can do is bitch about the bill.

The entire congress should be stopping him from playing dictator and making whatever changes he wants, when he wants. It's indefensible they are allowing him to do this.

The Upton bill has passed the house with bi-partisan support. Now it will go and die a quiet death in the Harry Reid Senate.....

The Republicans have had zero opportunity to do anything, numb nuts, since the Dems control the Senate and the White House.
The GOP doesnt need to do anything. When your enemy is self destructing the best thing is to sit back and watch.

At least we see what "bipartisan" looks like. A bill written by a Republican with consultation from Democrats. that's how legislation is supposed to happen in this country.

So what is Sen. Mary Landrieu's move now?

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

Harry Reid & Obama hate people keeping the insurance plan they like! Spread the news!

 

[Politico]

Are you on crack?

 

[paperview]

Harry Reid & Obama hate people keeping the insurance plan they like! Spread the news!

The GOP Bill on ACA removed core consumer protections.

That's why realistic people don't like it.

And why the bill will go No Where.

 

[JakeStarkey]

A sitting president who has the votes apparently is going to do this his way.

If the core consumer protections are not in the GOP bill, let the Senate pass it and then send it to Obama.

He will veto it.

Then he will go on TV that night on all major stations and explain why the far reactionary right of 20% hates the other 80% of America.
