"We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help that they need," he said.
"I've got a pen, and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions ... and I've got a phone that allows me to convene Americans from every walk of life," he said.
Oooh, Oooh. Call Me! Call Me!

Considering that his signature piece of legislation is looking like it will be more harmful to the middle class than anything... I'd say yeah.. stick to the executive fiat route.

Seriously...
We've yammered about all kinds of aspects of the Affordable Care Act
but I don't think we've specifically discussed that ONE point

Example:
The Affordable Care Act
1) Great for the Poor
2) Not a problem for the wealthy
3) Nightmare for the middle class

:nod: discuss

Are they in Russia, and is it a clear day?

Speaking of which, On a Clear Day is a solid movie. :nod: :thumb:

The company I work for moved to aetna and my insurance went up about $12.00 a month
Still have the same doctor

My girlfriend works at a large employer and her insurance went up $8.00 a month

Awaiting more stories of horror or joy...
Please stand by
