LOL, the DC Insurance Commissioner was fired after he questioned Obamas' "fix" for cancelled policies, Desh...fact.
White concluded the e-mail with an apology: “I take full responsibility for the press statement and its release. I understand that this was a failure in our process because I should have clarified my intentions and sought approval from [the executive office of the mayor] before issuing the press statement. I apologize for any difficulties this caused.” Oopsy!

Super lefty
I'm not getting the angle here, so a president who manages to get a healthcare reform bill passed (which has been a major issue for the past 20 years or so) makes a promise he should have been able to keep with the grandfather clause in the law. His promise gets dicked over by the insurance companies who (admittedly within their right) decide to cancel their grandfather-able plans. The president then apologizes, and Congress works together to try and help those affected. Seems like a pretty stand-up thing to do if you ask me...
What a pathetic liar you are.
Obamacare was rammed through on party lines in a filibuster-proof Senate and a Dem-controlled House by people who didn't even read the law.
The laws' own specifications require all policies to offer shit like maternity care and pediatric coverage regardless of need, and the policies that don't cannot be offered after January 1, 2014.
That didn't stop your Messiah from telling Americans they could keep their policies if they liked them, did it?
His apology is worth about as much as your credibility. His Executive Order does not require insurers to continue offering non-compliant policies after January 1.
Congress works together because 39 Dems scared of losing next November tried to cover their asses?
LOL, the Dem-controlled Senate won't allow a vote, and King Obama has decreed he would veto it anyway.
Thanks for playing.
He was fired for daring to speak without the prior consent of the Party Faithful, just as I said.
Oopsy!
I am not for the President or against him personally, I support his plans/policies or I don't. On the issue of being able to keep your insurance, I support a middle ground between the Republican plan and the President's fix. They should pass a bill that grandfathers everyone already in a plan to be allowed to keep it, as long as the Insurance Company wants to offer it, and tells them that it is substandard and why.

What the right refuses to realize is that many liberals don't like the ACA because it doesn't go far enough for the public option or single-payer or Medicare for all.
Poll Debunks Media Claims: Most Americans Back Obamacare or Want It Expanded
One of the many disgraceful aspects of the media coverage of Obamacare—and criticism of the ACA, and the Tea Party claims in general—is the rote depiction of the new law as “very unpopular” or “opposed by most Americans according to polls” because it goes too far. Most people are said to be happy with the healthcare system as is, and so on. In other words, repeating the GOP line.
Now, those who have supported the law have long claimed that the simple bottom line poll numbers are misleading. Yes, those numbers generally show that, say, 51 percent don’t like the ACA and only 44 percent approve. Yet, as we know (but many in the media fail to recognize, even beyond Fox News), a lot of Democrats and liberals are unhappy, wisely, because the law doesn’t go far enough, or that President Obama didn’t fight for the public option or single-payer or Medicare for all. So how many of them are included in that bottom line number who “oppose” the ACA—but from the left?
Polls have indicated there’s a fair number but now there’s a new one today that CNN actually took the trouble—at the end of its online report, true—to break out. And, lo and behold, it turns out that fully 12 percent of those opposed feel the law doesn’t so far enough...
Meanwhile, an expert on the ACA has fact-checked a Sean Hannity segment last Friday and exposes the misinformation there—and also suggests, sadly, that many Fox viewers who could save thousands of dollars each year, and gain coverage for pre-existing condition and for their children by embracing Obamacare, probably will not. That’s the true evil of Fox propaganda.

The DC Insurance Commissioner was a Dem, Deshy...he dared to speak the truth about the Dem Presidents' personal debacle, and the Dem Mayor fired him.
That didn't seem to deter you from offering an opinion on the subject, did it?
William P. White was one of several insurance commissioners across the nation to reject the President's move to allow insurance companies to continue selling policies to consumers who wanted to keep them.
He released a statement hours after the president's fix was announced.
After his comments, White was quickly replaced by an acting commissioner Sunday, a District of Columbia spokesman said.
White was not replaced because of the statement dismissing the President's policy, but because of "how he went about it," a district official familiar with the situation told CNN.
That official said White "failed to notify his immediate supervisor, the district's deputy mayor, of his decision to release a statement criticizing the Obama administration".
