But not sorry enough to change the LEGISLATION! How many times have we heard THIS IS THE LAW? Well, the LAW is a cluster-goat-schtup and the ONLY way to change a law is through additional LEGISLATION. Not by "Executive Order".

The Congress is going to act, and Obama is not going to like it. The Democratic Senators and Representatives that need to get elected need to get this anchor off their necks. Look for Dem support of House legislation next week to make SURE you can keep your insurance. Obama will veto it and we will see exactly how much he wants you to keep insurance

If it goes ahead as written, there will be MORE people without affordable care after the act is in place than before the act was in place. It will just be different people. And lets not forget the millions of people who were cut to 29 hours per week. At least they can get Medicaid and let everyone else pay for their insurance IF the website ever gets fixed.

What a stupendously stupid piece of legislative trash! What an incredibly incompetent administration

[Neonred 3,562]

Fix it? The damage is already done. People have already lost plans and affordable care now costs more. This entitlement is rolling down hill and picking up speed.

The Dems don't understand the evils of big government.

Wait until taxes are made out.... their "subsidy" will be counted as income on their 1099 ...The kenyan just keeps on giving.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Why do you keep referring to him as the Kenyan? I find that strange.

There an unpleasant racial connotation to that back in 2008,I'm surprised anyone is still propagating it now.

Like it or not he's American and he's the president. Yet you want him to deny him his nationality and present him as somehow other.

Flashback: http://www.thirteen.org/programs/washington-week/the-rollout-of-medicare-part-d/

Medicare's new prescription drug benefit is off to a rocky start. Dozens of plans, overloaded computers and an entirely new system have left seniors nationwide scratching their heads. The problems are particularly serious for the 6.5 million low-income Americans who get both Medicare and Medicaid — and whose Medicaid drug coverage ended Dec. 31.

Pearl Hewitt is one of them. The 71-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., takes a lot of medicine. "I've got about eight pills," she says. "I'm a cancer patient. I have a heart condition, arthritis."

Hewitt had been getting her drugs through the Medicaid program — at $1 per prescription. She was well aware that coverage was going to end, and she'd need to enroll in a Medicare drug plan by Jan. 1. With the help of her daughter and the Washington, D.C., health insurance counseling program, she enrolled in a new drug plan. And she thought everything was good to go. "They sent me enrollment paper, card, everything," she says.

But when she went to pick up her first prescription, she got a nasty surprise. "They told me $250 deductible, $89 a month and $5 for each prescription," she says. If she didn't come up with $250, she was told, she wouldn't be able to get her medicines.

The best part is when they try to convince you it has nothing to do with race.

Someone tried to tell me that lostinblue just means "Kenyan American" when he says that ...

I'm sure the ones who say "The Kenyan" only do so because the word they really want to use is completely unacceptable.

I thought that the other poster was referring to herself, when speaking of 'the kenyan'... It is common in The Valley that the girls refer to themselves in the third person... The poster seems to fit the profile, so it did not sound unusual at all.

With all the negative connotations 'the kenyan' was depositing on herself, I thought it was all a matter of justifiable self-derision. I did not think birthers were still walking the Earth though.

His mother was an American citizen so it does not matter where he was born, he is an American..

Show us the flashback of when Senator Obama was outraged at raising the debt ceiling over 9 trillion, and only a few years later as President, Obama demanded an increase of over 16 trillion...

or show us the flashback of his blatant and willful lies about; If you like your doctor and healthcare plan you can keep it...

You only have to read it on VJ.

I have to live with it and I'm not from Africa. I had someone chasing down the expressway one day screaming Obama.

I got his license plate number and called the police. I was like, I don't even know Obama.

OMG really ? Your Barryaplogetics has hit an all time desperation

A. Bush's fault . can also be "conjure up any conservative in history that even remotely did anything similar to what is going on today. It makes it ok.

I like* my doctor and healthcare plan and I can keep it. That's true not only for me but for the overwhelming majority of Americans.

* like might be the wrong word when talking about health insurance plans in this country (yes, they all suck just as the entire health care system in this country sucks) but I use it here for the sake of the argument
