This really smacks of desperation...

This really smacks of desperation...  That One's administration, late yesterday exempted from the individual mandate all those whose healthcare insurance has been cancelled and who haven't signed up for ObamaCare (for whatever reason).  At the same time, those people are now suddenly declared eligible for ObamaCare's so-called “catastrophic” insurance plans (under the law, these are available only to people under 30) – really these are bare-bones insurance plans more akin to traditional major medical plans, and most definitely not what ObamaCare was enacted to achieve.

Insurance companies are very unhappy about this sudden change in the rules, as it completely upsets all the calculations used to set their policy rates.  These calculations assumed that the law would be followed – an assumption that looks sillier as the days under That One's rules go by.  Once again, That One has asserted the executive branch's non-existent right to simply ignore the law, whenever and wherever it feels like it.  Like a monarch or dictator would.  Just sayin'...
