All Democrats, including the Louisiana little piglet Mary Landrieu voted against an amendment to the ObamaCARE law that would allow those people to keep their health care plans if they liked it. The regulation from HHS came out in the summer of 2010. In September of that year, Republicans like Mike Enzi predicted exactly what is happening today. You wouldn’t be able to keep your health care plan under ObamaCARE, and that so called ‘grandfather clause’ was just a load of BS.

U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee today urged the Senate to move forward on the consideration of a Resolution of Disapproval that would overturn a new health care regulation that breaks the President’s promise “If you like what you have you can keep it.”
“At least 47 separate times, President Obama promised ‘If you like what you have you can keep it.’ Unfortunately, the Obama Administration has already broken that promise,” Enzi said.
Earlier this year, the Administration published the regulation, which will fundamentally change the health insurance plans of millions of Americans. Although the regulation was supposed to help existing health plans, and the businesses that provide them, avoid the most onerous new rules and red tape included in the new health care law, between 39 percent and 69 percent of businesses will lose their status as members of grandfathered health plans.
“The reality for many, under this new regulation, is that if you like what you have, you can’t keep it,” Enzi said. “The picture is even worse for small businesses – the Department of Health and Human Services estimates that by 2013, up to 80 percent of small businesses will lose their grandfathered status.”
“The final result of this new regulation will be that all Americans will eventually be forced to buy the kind of health insurance the federal government thinks you should have. Never mind that you can’t afford it. Never mind that employers will be less likely to hire new workers and will probably even have to lay off workers.”
Now Mary Landrieu is trying to BS a bill that would allow people to keep their health care plans if they like it. Why is she doing this now? Because she knows she’s toast in 2014? Landrieu, Mark Pryor, Mark Begich, Kay Hagan, and all Senate Democrat voted against the Enzi to allow you to keep your plan if you like it.
