 Aides: White House to announce Affordable Care Act fix
By: Burgess Everett
November 14, 2013 10:03 AM EST

The White House will announce a solution to a wave of health insurance cancellation notices at noon Thursday, according to senior Democratic aides.

President Barack Obama will speak at 11:35 a.m. on Obamacare. Shortly after making the announcement, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough will brief an increasingly restless Senate Democratic caucus on the fix to Obamacare.

The administrative solution to Obamacare is an attempt to head off a push from moderate and red state Democrats who are threatening to attempt an end-around of the administration on health care. Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.) have introduced bills that would allow people to keep their health plans if insurers cancel them — an attempt to codify a longheld vow of Obama’s that “if you like your health care, you can keep it” under Obamacare.

The administration is also seeking to prevent a swell of Democratic defections in the House on Friday, when the chamber will vote on a bill from Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) that would grandfather in health insurance policies.



Though there will be relief among some corners of Congress that the White House has struck a solution, even the rollout of a fix to Obamacare has been bumpy. Senate leaders weren’t even briefed on what the fix will entail ahead of time, sources said.

“Yes. One is coming,” said one exasperated aide. “You’d think they’d want to tell us first.”

 Nancy Pelosi: Obama to propose health fix
By: Jose DelReal
November 14, 2013 09:41 AM EST

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Barack Obama will offer a fix to Obamacare problems as soon as today.

“I think it can be done administratively. The president will offer a proposal today, is my understanding,” Pelosi said at the World Ideas Forum, hosted by The Atlantic.

Obama on Thursday is traveling to Cleveland to speak at a steel plant there.

Pelosi seemed to suggest that Obama will propose an administrative solution, which is significant because a growing number of Democrats are supporting a legislative fix.



Meanwhile, Pelosi also said congressional Democrats are working on a separate solution.

“We have our own proposal, which we think is really good,” she said. “I think that we’ll see in the next 24, 48, 36 hours something to the effect of how do we accommodate those people.”

So, this temporary "fix" relieves political pain briefly -- then results in big round of cancellation letters/premium hikes next fall?

Of course.  Chairman Barack can fix things with a wave of his hand.

Source: President Obama's fix will continue current plans

Quote
Trying to quell a growing rebellion from members of his own party, President Barack Obama will announce an administrative fix Thursday to Obamacare to ensure Americans who like their insurance can keep it by permitting current plans to continue into the coming year.

The president’s proposal would allow insurers to offer plans in 2014 that were previously slated to sunset this year, but require the companies to let consumers know how — if at all — their policies don’t comply with the minimum benefits of the Affordable Care Act, according to a source briefed on the proposal.

There is no such 'solution' that the WH could announce, constitutionally.

The law is the law.  Remember that statement, boyz?

Insurance companies spent months retooling plans, signing new contracts for ACA launch. They will have one month to undo it all.

It just transfers the 'blame' to the insurance companies, politically.

The insurance companies can't comply w/ the law and do this without going broke.

They won't... and will then be blamed.  People are stupid.  They don't understand basic economics and Bambi takes full advantage of that.

You would think just one of those traitorous, scum sucking pigs in the media would ask Pelosi:

"Do you think these kinds of problems could have been avoided if you had read the bill before you passed it?!"


Good gosh, just one time ask the witch that question!
