are paying or not. right? somebody is like do you agree? it s interesting. your friend toby coz grove from the cleveland clinic yesterday on fox news on mariah bart roma s new show he said people that are paying about three quarters of them are paying more than they were beforehand when their policies weren t cancelled. when are we actually going to find out how many people the administration says we are going to tell you on this date we are going to get this information from the insurance companies so we know how many people paid, how many young people paid. how many we have to subsidize or when do we get these numbers? i don t know that we will ever get a full accounting. this is one of the least transparent administrations, if not the least transparent administration in the history of the united states. the other thing that s interesting on the web site, they don t even ask when people go to sign up if they have had insurance or if they haven t had insurance before, the
because when you look at the number, 5 million people so far have lost their insurance because their canceled policies weren t up to affordable care act standard. you re right, it is a mess. crocodile tears were misplaced yesterday. they should be real tears for people who lost their policies. not crocodile tears for a president who screwed up a rollout and blaming this on capitalism. when you play with the markets, when go into an industry and say people must buy this and they must buy it at this price and i want to fix it so it occurs in this way and then you play with it again and then the industry says, listen, you re going to tank our industry by doing this, what the heck is going on? it s not a political issue. it s an economic issue now. destroy the insurance industry in america on top of destroying health care in america. let s destroy both together. maybe today.
legislative. therefore he doesn t have to go back. there is a gray area when you re installing a new law there are transitional rules. here s the thing, it s hard to uncancel insurance. what s going to happen is effectively he s shifting blame. don t blame us if it can t get done. blame the insurance industry. blame your state insurance commissioner. already two insurance commissioners for washington state, i believe, and washington, d.c., both have said we re not going to be able to do it. we re going to go ahead and continue to enforce the affordable care act standards. what s interesting is the fact that even though what the president is doing is he is suspending eight complicated rules, keep in mind, this has been the law of the land, they have known for three years, insurance companies. they have done their due diligence. they have changed all the rules for the president. at the 11th hour because of political pressure, because you ve got bill clinton, you ve got daily
joining us from tampa, that very mom. good morning, beth. you made a lot of news. you find out that your son, douglas, comes home making the honor roll and you weren t happy. why? well, i know that he is bright and i know that he can do well. he had a b and he had a b in each of the classes, the c and the d, and was doing well. then he didn t do well on a test and didn t complete an assignment and wasn t applying himself. so he ended up with a d and c. and as a mom, it s my job to monitor him and i try to give him his space and let him become independent and responsible, but i m monitoring from the side lines and i see what his grades are. so when his grades slipped from the b s to the c and d, i said
at mr. romney s convention, the democrats announced a key note primetime high profile speaking spot for their convention for the democrat s last president, bill clinton. do you see any advantage in one of those two very different approaches to these parties recent governing past and the republicans pretending they don t have a recent governing past and the democrats so boldly embracing clinton. he s a been asset for democrats in part because mitt romney is going out on the stump and deriding barack obama by making a contrast to bill clinton. saying under bill clinton, we followed one set of pollys and things worked out better than under obama. first, the policies weren t all that different, more importantly, he s going to be the keynote at the convention and set the tone and make the economic argument that he can make better than almost anybody else in american politics. that s a big advantage. the bush and cheney decisions aren t too much of a surprise. everyone knows they left off
