President Obama has told Obamacare’s critics that the law is “settled” and “here to stay.” But today he is saying he’ll violate the law to put a Band-Aid on it for another year. That’s in addition to the one-year delay in the employer mandate and numerous other “fixes” and delays.
The President is announcing his “fix” to the problem of millions of cancelled policies: According to press reports, the President’s “plan would allow people to keep their plans into 2014,” by allowing the sale of insurance plans that don’t meet the law’s new requirements.
There’s one problem—the President’s promise that his new “plan” can allow people to keep their plans is just as flawed and false as his original “like your plan/keep it” pledge. The law itself is clear: Obamacare’s new benefit mandates—the requirement to cover all individuals with pre-existing conditions, the new “essential benefits,” and mandates increasing the percentage of health costs insurance plans must cover—all take effect on January 1, 2014.

Obama is breaking the law by allowing people to keep their plans who bought coverage after ACA passed. He is using presidential decree with is another term for being a dictator. Congress will have to change the law, or his press conference doesn't mean a thing, but a bunch of lying words, which is the norm for Obummer.

Violating the law makes the assumption of the rule of law. However, if there is no Constitution there is no rule of law. Ergo, to Hitl er Obama, there is no Constitution therefore there is no law except what he says. :peeonobama:
