House Republicans on Thursday returned to the Obamacare well for another vote against the law, this time to allow consumers to stay on once-canceled plans until 2019.

The House approved the bill, 247-167, with the support of all Republicans and 25 Democrats. It was the first vote on the health care law since April.

The bill, targeted at President Barack Obama’s promise that consumers would be able to keep their health plans under his signature health law, was sponsored by Rep. Bill Cassidy, who is in a tight race to unseat Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu in Louisiana.

“The president and his allies in Congress tried to sell this health law to the American people by making false promises,” Cassidy said in a statement. “Each of these promises has been broken.”

1. Yet the generic Congressional polls seem to be turning Republican....the mass media has totally

unleashed all it's power for one party in a two party super power state courting fascism....there is no fascism without corporate power.

3. how does one stay on a plan canceled by a private insurance company...

I'm sick of these assclowns...lets give them an ISIS vacation.

14. a typically overpriced policy, with shitty coverage too....

it's all a trick. People will get back on their old plan and then complain that it doesnt have as good of coverage and is more expensive than their Obamacare plan, and they'll blame Obama.

11. They are folks who are trying to hang on in swing districts

who know that this vote is going nowhere in the Senate.

Taking the vote is just a campaign ploy. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Benghazi?

18. Nice to see it was "bipartisan".

19. Since it appears to only be rich idiots who want these crappy plans...

Typically it's fairly low cost plans that do not cover much of anything. The people who want them are either stupid, or want something to complain about. Call them out, give them what they are asking for.

Let people stay on them, but with the restriction that the adults covered are now locked for life into these crappy plans. They will never become eligible for decent health insurance and will continue to pay out of pocket for getting sick until they die. If they show up at the emergency room without cash, they wait outside the door until someone brings them funds.
