House Repubs and Dems pass "You can keep your present health plan" bill, 261-157

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It's not making it passed the house.

Simple as that.

And your party will pay for that next November.

Simple as that.

In addition to Republicans, 20% of the Democrats in the House voted for the bill, too. Most were Democrats worried about losing their next election due to the American people's rejection of Obamacare.

If that proportion votes for it in the Senate, it will pass there, too. But will they?

The Mr. Obama might have to explain why he had a chance to let people keep the health plans they like, plans they had chosen back when government allowed them to choose.... but he vetoed their opportunity.

House passes Republican bill to let insurers offer old health plans

Reuters News | Nov 15, 2013

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives on Friday approved a Republican bill that would allow insurers to continue to offer for another year healthcare plans that do not comply with the higher standards of benefits under President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law.

The vote in the Republican-majority chamber was 261-157 for the measure sponsored by Republican Representative Fred Upton. Thirty-nine Democrats supported it despite a White House veto threat.

Sen. Harry Reid will not let it come up for a vote, just like he has with all the others.
This way the Dems that are up for re-election in the House next year can go back to their constituents and say that they tried and supported it.

You mean the same way that Boehner won't bring up bills in the House when he doesn't agree with them? That is outrageous!

What bills are those?
