From what I understood Obama to say...Obamacare set minumum guidelines that plans had to meet. In the individual market, many plans did not meet those guidelines. It looks like existing plans that did not meet the guidelines would be grandfathered in (not required to meet the new requirements), UNLESS those plans changed in any way. For a cheapo plan to get grandfathered, it had no stay identical to what it was last year. If those plans changed at all, then they now had to meet the new minumum standards. And I gather that it's unheard of for those plans to not change at least a bit, so essentially, very few plans would be able to get grandfathered.
This time next year, Obamacare could clobber the Dems worse than it did in 2010. Back then, it was all theory. Next year, many Americans will be keenly aware that they are paying a lot more, and businesses will be keenly aware that Americans suddenly have less disposable income.

Americans suddenly had less disposable income a long time ago.. Specifically when oil prices started climbing and food costs started climbing.. Who was president then???

GDP today is much stronger than in 2008/2009. Oil price is largely a product of consumption which includes manufacturing...not to mention speculation...geopolitical issues are a concern.
Were you serious when you typed that?

Don't talk to me about desperate
At least you're now acknowledging it was a long time ago . Maybe now you can acknowledge that the only people making out under the Obama administration are the very wealthy. That must really frost your a$$
