View Full Version : Obama Will Veto Bill to Fix...

his Obamacare lies.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama would veto a bill sponsored by a Republican congressman that would allow insurers to offer healthcare plans slated to be canceled because they do not meet the new U.S. healthcare law's standards, the White House said on Thursday."
http://news.yahoo.com/white-house-obama-veto-republican-healthcare-bill-025437223--sector.html

There are two major problems with that bill. One is, it's legal. I don't understand how the malignant usurper who thinks he's a king can wave a magic wand and change a law written by Democrats in Congress. It isn't an "administrative" matter that can be altered by "administrative fiat" even by the wannabee King. It's a law and just because he signed the bill into law doesn't mean he gets to rewrite it as he pleases.

The second problem is a bill sponsored by Republicans, for anything, can not be passed by Democrats. It can't even be voted on in the Senate. It's what the left calls bipartisan politics.

So, instead of a bill and a law we get a promise from the King of, "If you like you non-qualifying insurance policy you can keep it until after the congressional election, period."

What's the old saying? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Wait, we passed twice with the last election. Whatever.

Not likely. Even if I were a deist I'm sure we wouldn't go to the same church. And, Oblivious, don't you know the difference between a promise from President Obama and a bill passed into law? I realize it's a distinction that the king and his minions want to ignore.

Even Gov. Howard "I hate all Republicans" Dean wonders how the king can do this.

"Former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean questioned whether President Obama has the "legal authority" to carry out the Obamacare fix the White House outlined today:

“I wonder if he has the legal authority to do this, since this was a congressional bill that set this up,” said Dean of Obama's proposed fix. "

What do you need laws for when you have Obamalini? I would like to know by what authority Obama can simply by fiat change a law that was legally passed by his Congress? I realize all he need do is tell the extremely ethical Holder to not enforce the law but that is not a real fix is it?

Obama announced the same thing thats in their bill and there are things that the right wing <gasp? stuck in there that democrats oppose. So I guess you will just have to buy new hankies and live with the veto

Just wondering if there really are people who desire that rather than something that covers more and cost less. :huh:

Well, I went from having a fairly low deductible plan that covered docs visits, prescriptions, hospital coverage to a very high deductible plan covering basically the same thing.

Like many and maybe most currently covered Americans, I lost coverage.

Because a fraction of 5% isn't a majority.

Once again -
80% is not affected
15% didn't have insurance
5% are in the open market getting Fucked by the Insurance Companies

I have whatever that plan offers at a monthly cost for family coverage. The plan I'm on is my company plan which is provided at little monthly cost to me. What is changing on that plan is I lost coverage. Increased out-of-pocket costs means I'm paying more for my services.

I'm not a big user of healthcare services, we rarely use benefits. If/when that changes it will be much more expensive for me now than it would have been before the ACA.

Just as I thought, your Insurance went up, just like it's done for the last 15 years. What you described has happen every years for over a decade.

What does ObamaCare have to do with YOUR Employers Rates going up each year for the last 15 years?

Dude - do you understand English? I never said that.

My deductibles went up - the old plan that I was under for years is no longer available and a similar one was not offered by the carrier (blue cross), the only options we were given were high and even higher out-of-pocket plans. We didn't have the option to retain our current deductibles/co-insurance.

So we took the higher out-of-pocket plan and will phase into the even higher plan over the next 2 years.

Prior to that nothing increased in this plan for years. No cost increases, no out-of-pocket increases. In fact, it's steadily added coverage up until now.

What the hell is wrong with you, I can't possibly dumb this down any further in order for you to understand.

Its not a non issue when the right can make big hay out of something. Losing your health coverage over obamacare sucks and people have every right to be furious over it because they were told in no uncertain terms that it would not happen. Then wham they get smacked with it.

I said I would give it to the first of the year before I make final judgement and I will, but I doubt its going to be cleaned up by then.
Temporary bandaids is not going to fix this monster that is going to effect the entire country in one way or another. The goal was noble give decent medical care to the millions that dont have it but its writing and exectution have been a disgrace.

Sebillius should step up and resign immediately and in her resignation speech declare, I was in charge of rollout and I totally utterly completely screwed this up.

Got news for the democrats, if they allow this disaster to keep going on and keep trying to defend it, they are going to go right down the tubes. Independent voters who have great disdain for teaparty types dont like this new law the way it is one bit and because its law that dislike is never going away.

Obama needs to wake up and realize bandaids aint fixing this thing, its going to make it worse he has 3yrs left in office and he cant kick the can that far and he cant make it to the end to lay it on someone else.
Democrats OWN this and they need to either scrap it or pull it off the shelf entirely and re do it. I dont see it working the way it is.

While you wait, why not read? There are 60,000 US troops in Afghanistan today, as a result of a surge implemented by President Obama. Engaging policies of occupation, nation-building, and imperialism.
He remained in Iraq until December 2011. Has kept the Gitmo facility open, has the same policies for detainees, continued and expanded the Patriot and Surveillance Acts, has been directly and indirectly involved in unseating regimes in Libya and Egypt resulting in instability and terror attacks on Americans.

Bush has Authorizations from Congress while most of this Administration was in the Congress, Obama himself vited to fund the Iraq war....in other words facilitated in Iraq and never changed the Bush policies once he became President. In fact, he used the same exact personnel in his Afghan surge that Bush had been using in Iraq, Obama ending up firing Stanley, the military apparently the only part of his administration he holds accountable.

Bush is your deflection and attempted distraction, Jillian, but your stumbling talking points never tell the truth, you're a bomb thrower. Try to stick to the topic and understand the current Obama lies are blowing up in his face, you rats may want to scurry off the ship while it's above water.

11-15-2013, 08:58 AM
OK, I'll ask this again. The ACA is law. It has certain provisions in the law. The results of some of those provisions is that insurance companies were no longer legally able to offer certain policies so they cancelled those policies to comply with the law as written. A million people lost their insurance coverage as a result. Now, Obama tells us we don't have to worry about the law and that the insurance companies can continue coverage if they want. How can Obama simply say well, that part of the law doesn't count? What if 6 months from now Obama once again says, I never said that, and starts indicting insurance companies under the law. Why would he want to veto a provision that he says he wants to do in the first place. I don't really understand. Can one of our resident Obama supporters explain this? How can Obama simply nullify a portion of the law?

Codename Section
11-15-2013, 09:01 AM
He can't legally nullify it unless we want to fundamentally change the nation. Democrats will allow it though because most of them gave up their minds and souls and will say "baby Bush started a war so Obam can do whatever he wants without criticism"

"The president cannot change the law, cannot change the terms of
the law, cannot change the date at which the law begins unless Congress
and the courts are willing to look the other way," Judge Napolitano
said on today's Shepard Smith Reporting.

The president's decision opens the law up to another challenge before the Supreme Court.

Napolitano pointed out that the president frequently takes action without
Congressional approval, citing the bombing of Libya. "The more changes
the president does, the more Congress looks the other way, the more the
fabric of the nation is assaulted," Napolitano said.

House passed the bill to help those the Democrats lied to and which President Obama has promised--that's funny, isn't it--to veto. The bill passed the House with 39 Democrat votes. At last, bipartisan support for something.

"On Friday, the House of Representatives approved legislation sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) that would allow insurers to continue to offer policies on the individual market. The vote was 261-157. Thirty-nine Democrats voted for the Upton Amendment, which is an indication the Democrat united front on Obamacare is cracking. ObamaCare largely eliminates the individual market and forces those policy holders into the health exchanges. On Thursday, Obama proposed extending the individual market for one year. The Upton bill would not only let existing policies continue, but insurers could sell individual policies to new customers. The White House has vowed to veto Upton's bill if it reaches the President's desk."

"Senate Democrats do not expect to vote on the ObamaCare fix the House approved on Friday with 39 Democratic votes, according to a senior Democratic aide.The aide said there is not any pressure on the Senate Democratic leadership to bring the legislation sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) to the floor.

“There is a difference between constructive fixes designed to improve the law and bills that would gut it,” said the senior Democratic aide. “The Upton bill is the latter.”

Of course, there is also a difference in reforms to improve our health care system and a government takeover for the sole purpose of reducing our healthcare options and increasing the tyranny in Washington. What we have now is clearly the latter.

I think the Republicans are making a major mistake by trying to add to what Obama has said he wanted. If the Congress gives Obama exactly what he has asked for, not more, not less, then when it continues to fail the failure will be 100% Obama's. As it is he will veto the bill and claim its the Republicans are trying to keep people from getting insurance.

"Stay the course" is the same thing as "Ignore the Law"?????????????


You amaze me sometimes about how asinine you can be.

It's the abject STUPIDITY that <cough> "amazes" me,

and when I say "amazed?"

I mean it in the most horrifying way imaginable.
