Under pressure from White House, NBC censors news that Obama wrote regs to disqualify and terminate health insurance policies

Under pressure from White House, NBC censors news that Obama wrote regs to disqualify and terminate health insurance policies. It’s not only that the WH knew policies would be cancelled, they intentionally wrote the regulations regarding “grandfathering” in order to cause that to happen. NBC reported this info, then deleted it, but now it’s back… for a while, anyway.

  • Pretty good overview by Ace trying to hammer home the point of where and why these "regulations" were written. Last time I looked I was amazed even after all this time s/he was still anonymous with all the people the site's gone after.

    I do have a Q after reading, had to look up
    recapitulate [ˌriːkəˈpɪtjʊˌleɪt]
    vb
    1. to restate the main points of (an argument, speech, etc.); summarize

    But;
    capitulate [kəˈpɪtjʊˌleɪt]
    vb
    (intr) to surrender,

    So, why doesn't recapitulate mean; to surrender again- See France?

  • I believe nothing coming from the Nothing But Commies network. They've been caught time and time again editing videos to save their lord and master Quagmire from being exposed as the lying POS that he is.

  • On the silver lining side, a year ago Nothing But Commies would never have let this story out at all, and Lisa Myers would have been stuffed in a Rock Center broom closet until after the election.

  • So I guess it will be after a year of paying for obamacare before we find out the truth about promised tax credits.

    • Evenof they give dollar for dollar credit (which you know they won't) a tax credit will 1) not cover the cost of the premium, you just won't pay tax on the amount paid and 2) for those who pay little in tax to begin with (the ones this is supposed to be helping) a tax credit is meaningless.

  • We no longer live in a Constitutional republic. Now I know how the Germans felt in the 1960s as 20% of the population took over and created a dictatorship. I would say that Obama has succeeded in fundamentally transforming the country.

  • Ah NBC rolled up like a pick-nick table cover in a high wind..whoda thought NBC would not bow to der furher?
