Washington (CNN) - Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the Obamacare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters that are going out.

In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama's promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.

"The District of Columbia is an island surrounded by reality. Only in the District of Columbia could you get away with telling the people if you like what you have you can keep it, and then pass regulations six months later that do just the opposite and figure that people are going to ignore it. But common sense is eventually going to prevail in this town and common sense is going to have to prevail on this piece of legislation as well," Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said at the time.

Hey DC knows better than you! They knew that all of you were tired of driving the healthcare equivalent of a "beat up old Chevy" and that you would be glad to trade it in - and pay for - that brand new health care "Rolls". Getting from point "A" to point "B" wasn't good enough, you wanted to go in "style"!

That's the point, it's now illegal to drive Yugos. It doesn't matter what you were content to drive. You preferences don't count. They've decide that they know better. Basic "transportation" just won't do.

It feels like the American people (taxpayers) are being sold out everywhere they turn.

I just don't quite understand WHY.

Implementing communism on all fronts..................and destruction of all traditional aspects of American is needed to make it happen.

Good or bad, right or wrong, hurt the citizens.....doesn't matter.  Need to tear it all down to remove all vestiges of capitalism, constitutionalism, and Christianity.

It's still amazing that there's even one person on the planet who hasn't noticed Obama & Co. doing this on every front, for the last 5 years.

Luckily Obama and his merry band of Marxists are too incompetent to implement communism...

Because a basic tenet of progressivism is that they know better than we serfs. Anybody here ever see the movie "Back To School". There's a scene in the movie where a business professor is giving a class, the Rodney Dangerfield character, a successful, self made, millionaire, businessman interrupts the professor to tell him that everything he's telling his students, has no basis in reality. The academic simply dismisses his knowledge with contempt. Seeing that scene tells you all you need to know about the left.
