Remember when Obama's sycophants were touting him as a constitutional scholar? What a joke. After that speech today they must be scratching their heads over at the Republican caucus.

Maybe the democrats will start screaming for his college transcripts, now that they know he knows squat about the Constitution.

From a po'd liberal:

Gee...would be amiss to say that Ted Cruz looks downright prophetic?

[aligncare]

Not at all. It took a lot of courage to filibuster the Senate. Not so sure reading Green eggs and ham was the best use of the time – but, hey, it's been a long time since I had it read to me.

No! Not at all in fact!

Some reality-based comments there.  The cognitive dissonance must be painful as hell.

What did these people expect when they let a guy who was in prison write this legislation - Jan Shakowsky's husband..........

I didn't know that. It's laughable that the website was ripe for thugs like her husband.

It's one of those little tidbits I store in my brain under useless knowledge.

My wife is in senior management for one of the largest HMOs in the country.  They have been spending the better part of 2 YEARS converting their individual plan policies to adhere to the strict regulations of ObamaCare.  Now, she finds out today from the VP level that they have emergency meetings, and apparently are going to try in 50 days to work with whatever states are willing to go through the work and patch together some plans.  Plans that they are going to have to charge a much higher premium on, based solely on the projections for fiscal year 2014 that were made early in 2013.

Obama is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people.  He made this foolish "correction" today solely so he can blame insurance companies who worked day and night over 2 years to plan for his law, as it was written.

Nope..........

Arkansas, Washington State Reject Obamacare ‘Fixes’

Congressional Democrats are now wondering whether it will require legislation to enforce the “fixes” to the Affordable Care Act that President Barack Obama endorsed on Thursday. Some suggested that those fixes, which are not enforceable, would require legislation in order to prevent state insurance commissioners from opting out. Already, two states are refusing to follow up with the president’s recommended fixes to the ACA.

“Trying to do what the president has proposed would be very disruptive to the insurance market in the state of Washington so no, we will not be allowing insurance companies to extend these policies,” Washington state insurance commissioner Mike Kreidler told AP.

Kreidler said that the nearly 300,000 Washingtonians who received notices informing them of their policy’s cancellation will not be able to access those plans again.

“I have empathy for these people, I certainly feel for them, but at the same time, people really have a chance right now to shop and compare various health plans and make some decisions that best fits themselves and their families in ways that could never do before,” Kreidler continued. “But if you wind up extending these current plans that are out there, you really disrupt the ability for that to happen.”

Washington will apparently be joined by Arkansas. According to Arkansas Times editor David Ramsey (via the Washington Post‘s Sarah Kliff), the state’s insurance commissioner does not plan to allow plans slated to be cancelled to be renewed into 2015.

Because Kreidler knows best and WA is certainly lucky to have him.
