Prep work for Hillary to avoid being tarnished with the Obamacare failure brush.

LL already posted my very first thought.
Wasn't what actually got passed a lot closer to what candidate Hillary wanted than what candidate Obama wanted?

Just to rub some salt in this wound.

IF a new law were to grandfather provision protect folks so they can keep what Obama promised them; but nothing else changes - seems to me the insurance companies will take a bath with the new coverage they are required to provide; without being able to upsell everyone else. Unintended consequence (or intended by Progressives) might be to cripple the private insurance industry, paving the way for single payer. Anybody have insight into that industry to say yay or nay to that speculation?
I've heard some in the GOP are floating such a grandfathered-in bill. More political engineering of a market.
Health care needs some consumer protection but net net far less regulations and a safety net provision for a very low end LCD group. (Paul Ryan's design and John Mackey's similar ideas seemed to fit the bill)

Democrats universally stonewalled any attempt to modify Obamacare on the basis that any objection to it was illegitimate...even being unwilling to take an absolute gimme opportunity to delay implementation of the individual mandate in the recent budget battle, which was a golden opportunity to give them the ability to avoid this whole disaster until after the next election.
Democrats have universally stated for years that the assurances from the president were true.
The democrats wrote the legislation, passed the legislation, and did all of it on the assurance that they knew what they were doing.
The legislation takes effect and people's insurance gets cancelled because it doesn't meet Obama administration standards...standards they knew about all along.
And now, AFTER people's insurance has been cancelled, Clinton says that Obama needs to live up to the promise EVERY ONE OF THEM knew was bogus for years.
...as if they can just re-instate a bunch of cancelled insurance plans like magic.
You can always tell an enemy's assessment of your intelligence by the quality of the lies they tell you. These guys all think we're pretty smurfing dumb.
This is Clinton posturing for Hillary 2016. I guess they figure they can run on an anti-Obama platform and get somewhere.
As if.

This will inevitably widen the rift between the Clinton / Obama camps in the Democrat party.
The purse swinging, hyperbole and whining op-eds should be epic.
