Kicking the Can
Mr. Obama’s “solution” to the problem of millions of
Americans losing their health insurance despite his assurances, is to allow
people to keep their plans for one year, and to allow companies the option of
reinstating plans that they have recently cancelled due to his mandates for
that year.
This is unacceptable, however. There was nothing in his famous promise that
said, “If you like your current plan, you can keep it for one year.” Democrats and
Republicans are both pushing him for a better, permanent solution that honors
the words of his original promise, and we need to demand such a solution.
