Is that the case? reporter: i think that s fair, stephanie. obama care plus, plus. the biggest part of the plan is adding the public option. you remember this is something democrats really wanted to get into obamacare back in the day but could not muscle through the senate. the biden version would be like a medicare buy-in that folks around the country could buy into. all of this built on the foundation of obamacare. also try to expand the tax credits for people buying programs on the exchange. raise the caps on income so more and more people can have access to programs on the exchange. the other big part of the biden plan is a prescription drug plan that would allow folks to go across national lines to buy prescription drugs in other countries where they may be cheaper. also would get rid of the prohibition from medicare providers, medicare, rather, negotiating directly with drug companies. so hopefully to bring down the cost of prescription drugs for everybody. i think the key thin
Back. but the insurance companies won t give your old insurance plan back. why did he tell people there is another option? so march 31st comes and goes? well, fewer people signed up in february than in january. fewer than in december. now, the administration s response is unanswerable, february is a shorter month. indeed, it is. but the trajectory is down furthermore the moral foundation of obamacare was we have to insure the uninsured. the administration says is doesn t know how many are uninsured. mackenzie says 27%. we ll follow it. that s it for the panel. follow the online show. stay tuned for tribute for inspirational young man who will be missed. (vo) you are a business pro. seeker of the sublime. you can separate runway diculousness.
Irony here is that it is the blue states, the ones who are most enthusiastic about obamacare who are having the greatest difficulty meeting these deadlines. it quotes the chairman of the connecticut state insurance exchange, quoting here. we re going to have challenging enough time providing quality of service that our residents deserve in connecticut with the deadlines we have. if they keep adding new regulations i m sorry, we have to suddenly say enough is enough. the white house apparently failed to meet nine of 12 deadlines from the first year of affordable care act. failed to make 22 of 53 deadlines in the next year and missed out on 10 of 17 deadlines in the third year. that is 41 out of 82 deadlines missed. a republican critic should come as surprise to no one. think about the fact that the foundation of obamacare in of itself is a delay. we collect revenues for 10 years and so-called benefits are only for six years.
The way he s running around defending romney care. you know, they re out there saying that romney care is the foundation of obamacare. and that s a problem for them. but if the architect of obamacare is the republican nominee, they like that. do you agree? no, no, i think that romney is the one they least want to see because he probably is more broadly acceptable to the independent voters. that s why they re attacking romney but let s get back to the medicare thing. this literally threatens the whole future of our health care because medicaid will probably follow and then the insurance companies will follow. you re going to have fewer doctors, more rationing. you ll probably see nurses and physicians assistants instead of doctors and most importantly, you won t get to see a specialist even if you have a serious illness. on my web site dickmorris.com, i have a petition to overturn these cuts so i d urge people to do it. go to dickmorris.com.
