Complete Colorado- Page Two by Todd Shepherd January 9, 2014
At the height of controversy surrounding President Obama’s promises on the federal health care overhaul, U.S. Senator Mark Udall’s office worked assiduously to revise press accounts that 249,000 Coloradans received health care cancellation notices. Because the 249,000 figure was produced inside the Colorado Division of Insurance, Udall’s office lobbied that agency to revise the figure, or revise their definition of what qualified as a cancellation.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
Politics at its finest. Either the numbers are valid or they are not. If 250,000 Americans received a cancellation notice you can't brush that under the carpet boys and girls. That lovely legislation you supported had consequences. You can't say you didn't know because in the debates for this law a congressman posed for the record that what could happen would in relation to cancellations. So, don't try to dance your way out of it now. I look forward to seeing how many of you azzhats loose your seats because instead of doing the right thing you did the political thing and you followed the man in the golden chair right off the proverbial cliff. I betcha feel real intelligent right about now.
