39 DEMOCRATS BREAK WITH OBAMA TO PASS UPTON 'FIX'

On Friday, the House of Representatives approved legislation sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) that would allow insurers to continue to offer policies on the individual market. The vote was 261-157. Thirty-nine Democrats voted for the Upton Amendment, which is an indication the Democrat united front on Obamacare is cracking.

ObamaCare largely eliminates the individual market and forces those policy holders into the health exchanges. On Thursday, Obama proposed extending the individual market for one year. The Upton bill would not only let existing policies continue, but insurers could sell individual policies to new customers. The White House has vowed to veto Upton's bill if it reaches the President's desk.

n acceptance of defeat, but Insurance companies have a business to run, and have had this on the radar for months. They cannot reverse at this point.

Omlama is an idiot, and everything ho does points to that.

Nobody needs to do anything but to put him on a stage to show everyone the idiot he is.

Insurance companies crafted this law for their own profit. Now they can pick and choose for the highest returns.
