    Did he lie while under oath? Well? I don't think your going to get anywhere then. Oh and btw...

    These cancellations are, essentially, a lot of grandfathered plans exiting the insurance marketplace. From an insurance company's vantage point, grandfathered plans are a bit of a dead end: They can't enroll new subscribers and are really constrained in their ability to tweak the benefit package or cost-sharing structure. There's not a whole lot of business sense, for a managed care company, in maintaining a health plan that doesn't meet the health law's new requirements.

    How many people are going to get cancellation notices?

    It's hard to put an exact number on this, given that insurance plans are the ones who decide whether or not to continue offering an insurance product. Experts have estimated that somewhere between half and three-quarters of those who currently buy their own policies will not have the option to renew coverage, which works out to around 7 to 12 million people.

    So since when has the GOP ever cared about that size of the population, if they weren't very wealthy?

    You guys don't care otherwise you would be working on an alternative. You're just sitting on the sidelines like cheerleaders at a funeral.

    A President can only be impeached if they are found guilty of a crime. They can't be impeached by the general public. Most canceled Insurance policies do not meet the Federally mandated minimum requirements for Health care and it is the insurance companies doing the cancellations. Put the blame where it belongs.

    You know, I see this question a lot so I thought I'd educate you on what is an impeachable offense:

    "The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States" may be impeached and removed only for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors"."

    Notice how "lying" isn't on the list?

    Now should Cruz and Boehner be impeached for treason? THAT'S a question I'd answer yes to. They deliberately attempted to ruin America's economy.

    If lying were an impeachable offense, then all presidents would be. FYI, I kept my insurance, just like he said I could.

    Considering that his predecessor lied us into wars that took the lives of 5000+ Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis I suggest you begin the impeachment proceedings with him.

    More the issue is why did Obama let Americans die in Benghazi then Hilary covered it up and ran away? Obama gave a silent nod to the IRS to target Tea Party groups. Obama knew people would lose health care coverage once his act was in effect. Obama is no longer just fibbing he's intentionally deceiving the people!

    Lying is not a criminal offense and therefore it's unimpeachable. Impeachment is only an option for those who have violated the law.

  • LOL...

    No, as you can remember Dubya wasn't impeached for war crimes or lying about the invasion of Iraq.

    You haven't heard any complaining yet. When the corporate delay is over, if your insurance is below or above Obamacare minimal standards, your insurance will change to the minimal standards. I worked for a company 4 years ago that was proactive on Obamacare, Our insurance was way better than Obamacare minimal standards. Your insurance will change. Don't take this as an attack on Obama, he made a blanket statement not realizing that insurance and corporations will take the cheapest route they can.

    OK thumb downers just remember that I told you, so don't get all mad when this happens and it is you that loses money out of your pocket. This is not just an Obama thing, this is an economy fixing to collapse thing.
