Democrats Threaten to Abandon Obama on Health Law

“Anxious congressional Democrats are threatening to abandon President Obama on a central element of his signature health care law, voicing increasing support for proposals that would allow Americans to retain the health insurance coverage they are losing because of the Affordable Care Act,” the New York Times reports.

“The dissent comes as a vote looms Friday in the Republican-controlled House on a bill that would allow Americans to keep their existing health coverage through 2014 without penalties.”

Ezra Klein: “The Affordable Care Act’s political position has deteriorated dramatically over the last week.”
