august948 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 True but the demand is still high. There are millions that want insurance. Would that be the millions who aren't going to be able to keep the plans they like even though the President promised they would be able to?

plumber2 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Would that be the millions who aren't going to be able to keep the plans they like even though the President promised they would be able to? The insurance companies have been canceling plans and trying to upsell to single payer customers for years. They prey on these types of people. I have a contractor friend that gets crapped on every year. He signs up for coverage only to be told later at renewal time that his type of coverage is no longer available, "but we can offer you this instead". It's the old bait and switch technique.

Slick Vik Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Per my earlier point, the news cycle has turned and the shutdown is no longer a story. I wouldn't be surprised if there are no significant changes in the mid-term and if the Republicans retain control of both houses. http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/30/21252826-obama-leadership-style-raises-question-of-who-is-in-control?liteCan't retain control of senate when they don't have it right now.Would that be the millions who aren't going to be able to keep the plans they like even though the President promised they would be able to?Those are some of the people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Can't retain control of senate when they don't have it right now.You're correct. I made a mistake. I'm admitting to that. It's not that hard. You should try it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian0123 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Decent article talking about this from results last night: http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/06/opinion/louis-election/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 I think it's going to be interesting to see what happens between Christie and the tea party. Even if Christie can win over NE Repubs and Independents, I don't see how he could excite enough Repubs across the entire country to support him.

It's the old bait and switch technique.So you're avoiding the fact that he didn't tell the truth. Look, I'm an Independent that voted for Obama and I have to admit, this entire rollout has been a complete mess. If he wants to succeed, he needs to turn this around and stop doing this hands off approach to everything. His legacy hangs in the balance right now.

livincinco Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 2016 is way too far away to make predictions about. The front runner two years out almost never wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the insurance companies are going to squeal real loud, if he makes them keep unprofitable policies out there while other companies are making gravy off the new folks.
