Obama Administration Scraps Key Portion of Affordable Care Act

The main story's at New York Times, "Obama to Scrap a Portion of Health Care Law."

Of course long-term health care gets the axe, as the Death Panels negated all that the minute this Kenyan Muslin commie bastard signed Obamacare into law, as long-term health care is not part of the Dear Ruler's plan.

Any senior in this country that thinks Obamacare is going to do anything to improve their lives is a fool. How many negative actions contained therein does one have to see take place before they realize that they are EXPENDABLE. and their deaths are/were the only way to make it work. That and all of the others who will be ruled as not fitting the requirement.
The only group to make out is AARP which is selling health insurance that will eventually be useless and they know it or should.
The medical care we need right now is to remove the cancer known as Obama.
