Title: Another Rule in Obamacare Is Scaled Back
Post by: loco on December 27, 2013, 06:39:30 AM

WASHINGTON — Millions of people facing the cancellation of health insurance policies will be allowed to buy catastrophic coverage and will be exempt from penalties if they go without insurance next year, the White House said Thursday night.

Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, disclosed the sudden policy shift in a letter to Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, and five other senators.

It was another effort by President Obama to cushion the impact of the health care law and minimize political damage to himself and Democrats in Congress who adopted the law in 2010 over solid Republican opposition.

This is truly insane - Obamacare about to toss volunteers off of free health care. 

F Obama - praying for a great white shark to be in the area.

Forgive my ignorance, but if Democrats are so good and Republicans are so bad, please explain the above to me!

Thank you!
