Millions of policy holders are receiving cancellation notices on their health insurance plans. This could have been prevented had a resolution that blocked the grandfather clause in 2010 passed the floor on the U.S. Senate. That resolution was killed by Democrats, and most notably the very Democrats who are now feigning outrage. Senator Kay Hagan is one of those actors.
Senator Kay Hagan and the rest of her ilk can act
like they didn’t know what was about to happen.
It was no secret. Senator Chuck
Grassley (R-IA) stated the following in 2010:
“The District of Columbia is an island surrounded by
reality. Only in the District of Columbia could you get away with telling the
people if you like what you have you can keep it, and then pass regulations six
months later that do just the opposite and figure that people are going to
ignore it. But common sense is eventually going to prevail in this town and
common sense is going to have to prevail on this piece of legislation as well,”
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said at the time.
“The administration's own regulations prove this is not the
case. Under the grandfathering regulation, according to the White House's own
economic impact analysis, as many as 69 percent of businesses will lose their
grandfathered status by 2013 and be forced to buy government-approved plans,”
the Iowa Republican said.
Senator Kay Hagan blocked this resolution on a party
line vote. Everyone in North Carolina
had better understand that Senator Hagan holds the interest of her party over
our state.
