The Obama administration is set to announce another major delay in implementing the Affordable Care Act, easing election pressure on Democrats.
As early as this week, according to two sources, the White House will announce a new directive allowing insurers to continue offering health plans that do not meet ObamaCare’s minimum coverage requirements.
Prolonging the “keep your plan” fix will avoid another wave of health policy cancellations otherwise expected this fall.
The cancellations would have created a firestorm for Democratic candidates in the last, crucial weeks before Election Day.
The White House is intent on protecting its allies in the Senate, where Democrats face a battle to keep control of the chamber.
“I don’t see how they could have a bunch of these announcements going out in September,” one consultant in the health insurance industry said. “Not when they’re trying to defend the Senate and keep their losses at a minimum in the House. This is not something to have out there right before the election.”
The White House and the Department of Health and Human Services on Monday both said they had no updates to announce.
Late last year, the administration was grappling with the beleaguered HealthCare.gov and millions of canceled health plans in the individual market.
Republicans noted President Obama had repeatedly promised that no one would lose their health plan if they wanted to keep it.

You can run ‘rats, but you can’t hide.
This Obama fellow is too thinned skinned…

Hey Pubs!
How long are u going to let Obama write the laws?
Lies built on a foundation of lies. Never going to work democRats.
Can’t these numerous changes by the executive office without the approval of the congress be challenged in the courts as illegal?
If so, why hasn’t the congress already acted?
Go ahead and postpone it until all you rat bastards are locked up in Leavenworth!
Is it not readily understood that the best time to take an opponent out is when he’s on the ropes already? Or perhaps we should give him a nice rest, and the 400 bazzilionth benefit of a doubt.
Ya want change, ya hit Obama with Articles of Impeachment…RIGHT F’ING NOW!
Uhhhh, Republicans…Heelloooooo?! Anybody home???
Insurance you can’t afford for healthcare you’ll never receive~~Mutual of Ob☭m☭h☭h☭h☭.
Rand Paul is working on a bill in the Senate to address Obama’s illegal changes to Obamacare.

But you know that Dingy Harry won’t even let the Senate debate it, don’t you?
Claudia
Pick a reason for impeachment…there’s at least ten. Who cares what the Senate does with it? That isn’t the House’s job description!
My sense is lots of Americans would welcome a sense of urgency…even an unsuccessful effort sometimes sets the table for future success (see: Ted Cruz).
Uhhhh, Republicans…Heelloooooo?!
Maybe, just maybe, ya might look like something besides gutless pole-puffers for a change?
It’s no longer necessary to argue if Obama is that stupid/incompetent, or if he intentionally wrecks what he doesn’t shit on.
It is also no longer necessary to wonder why the Republicans can’t/won’t Impeach an obvious traitor and his Administration full of criminals.
Brother Zeke was on the Morning Schmoe this morning singing the praises of Kim Jong Obama and the “eBusiness” success of Obamacare.
Ah screw it. I’ll get down to it.
He talked fast and loud.
He played pepper with the crew so they could hone their talking points.
A good time was had by all.
In other words, I couldn’t keep my breakfast down. But sometimes, you’ve got to watch how the ‘Rats operate.
sarge-
0bama has filled the federal courts with leftist judges. It could go to court but the deck is stacked in 0bama’s favor.
ObamaCare delays are the last thing worrying the Progressives (both parties) right now.
Obama is in way over his head right now, and probably for the first time in his life he is having to herd his own feline contingents….and it ain’t workin’ out too grand.
Odumbass is currently spread thin with:
Putin, Crimea, Connecticut arms rebellion, Obamacare, IRS scandal, Fast N Furious,
Ukraine, Losing the Senate, Impeachment,
Arpaio’s yet unannounced revelations regarding Presidential illegitimacy, NSA scandal, Constitutional attacks being stifled, NDAA overreach, drone attacks, 2nd Amendment attacks, 1st Amendment attacks, 4th Amendment attacks, 10th Amendment usurpation’s / suspensions, Benghazi, The national debt, Welfare nanny-state explosion……etc.
The problem with Obama isn’t so much his blatant narcissistic and scociopathical incompetence, it’s his willingness to burn the entire country, not to mention the planet, to the ground if he can’t get his way.
Animals backed into a corner are always dangerous.
F*ck you, rat bastard Ds. This won’t help in November.
