What the 'Obamacare fix' is really about

In an effort to curb a 2014 midterm backlash against Democrats (let's be honest, that's what this is about), ol' Barry thought he could just order the private insurance market to give back the millions of private policies that have been cancelled due to his law's regulation, covering his assets for that lie, and maintain (if not gain) Democratic control through another election cycle. But there's a catch: the insurance groups say changing everything back now, only for a year, will destabilize the market altogether...

TheBlaze: On Thursday, President Barack Obama announced a “fix” for the millions of Americans who have lost their health insurance coverage due to the Affordable Care Act — a fix could “destabilize the market,” according to America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP).

“Making sure consumers have secure, affordable coverage is health plans’ top priority. The only reason consumers are getting notices about their current coverage changing is because the ACA requires all policies to cover a broad range of benefits that go beyond what many people choose to purchase today,” AHIP president and CEO Karen Ignagni said in a statement.

The president announced a one-year fix that would allow 2013 insurance plans “to be grandfathered in” so long as insurance companies inform consumers they might have a better deal from the Affordable Care Act exchanges... But AHIP doesn’t think this plan will work.

“Changing the rules after health plans have already met the requirements of the law could destabilize the market and result in higher premiums for consumers. Premiums have already been set for next year based on an assumption of when consumers will be transitioning to the new marketplace,” the statement reads.

“If now fewer younger and healthier people choose to purchase coverage in the exchange, premiums will increase and there will be fewer choices for consumers. Additional steps must be taken to stabilize the marketplace and mitigate the adverse impact on consumers,” it adds.

The ObamaCare 'Fix' Is NOT In: Why Obama's 'Solution' Won't Work

And because they actually talked back to Dear Leader yesterday, well, that's likely got more to do with meeting health care execs today than actually fixing anything...

TheHill: President Obama will meet with health insurance executives Friday at the White House, one day after the president announced a new regulation intended to address policies canceled because of ObamaCare.

The meeting comes amid growing tensions between the administration and the insurance companies over implementation of the sweeping healthcare law.

"Today CEOs from across the health insurance industry will be meeting with President Obama and senior administration officials to discuss ways to work together to help people enroll through the Marketplace and efforts to minimize disruption for consumers as they transition to new coverage," a White House official said.

See, it's all about saving Obamacare...NOT saving your personal health care. This president's party has targeted private health care in America for a century, and now they're so close to achieving socialized medicine, but for the People.

There's really only two ways out of this trainwreck: through federal means to repeal Obamacare & restore a private, competitive market, or through a more laborious process of an Article V convention of the states to appropriately amend the Constitution in such a manner as to restrain the federal leviathan, among which could (and should) include reclaiming our private property rights (one of which is health care). Neither will be easily accomplished. Either will require a vigilant citizenry who will demand representation.
