i think this party line vote in the senate in september 2010 is important and needs to be reiterated and emphasized. it spelled out that the health and human services obama administration regulators had radically changed and narrowed the definition of the term "grandfathered" in the affordable care law, aka, obamacare, so that 10s of millions of health insurance customers would have their health insurance policies canceled when obamacare would be implemented upon them. every democrat in the senate voted against this republican resolution that would have rolled back the onerous and tricky regulation change the obama administration had made to the term grandfather so that unsuspecting americans were going to lose insurance policies they thought they could keep under obamacare. republican senator grassley spelled it out back in 2010, but no dem senators seemed to care that this was projected to happen way back in 2010. now in 2013 this old vote needs to be highlighted. the senate could have changed this grandfather clause/regulation by hhs, but all the senate democrats voted against changing it back to what the commonsense definition of grandfathering meant. so this link that lindybill provided in a previous post has grassley's comments, and this needs to be emphasized by all senate and house republicans. it needs to be brought up and discussed on the tv programs as well as the sunday shows. hotair.com
