Denver Post Editorial: Sen. Udall's adventure with Obamacare

Holy heck, I can't believe I'm reading this from the Denver Post: http://www.denverpost.com/politics/c...ture-obamacare

Of course, let's not forget why Udall is so sensitive about the Affordable Care Act. Like the president, Udall assured voters that everyone would be able to keep their insurance policy under the new law — and he was simply wrong.
We asked Udall's spokesman if the senator had acknowledged his error, and were told that he had, and that he's learned never to try speaking for big insurance companies.
So Big Insurance is to blame for canceling policies no longer allowed under Obamacare?

Umm, when they turned 27 and had to get their own health care?

[ROFL1] ................funny my man, funny. Probably true though..................I have had a few "Obama" lovers at work complain about their insurance going up or being cancelled.

Got an email about this. Would be awesome if voters remember and boot Udall.

I don't see the article as anything more than mildly critical of Udall. As a matter of fact, it appears to me they went out of their way to downplay the pressure he put on the state insurance division people. I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict the Post endorses Udall over the as yet unnamed Republican candidate for his seat.

Oh, I agree. That's why I was so surprised that they had a moment of lucidity and admitted the policies in question were cancelled by Obamacare rather than blame the Big Insurance companies

Typical ploy by a media company trying to keep what's left of their paying customers. They throw something like this out every now and then just to be able to point to it later when claiming to be unbiased. After this token gesture they will be up to the old tricks by the next printing. 99 out of 100 articles might as well have been written by the North Korean propaganda ministry.

Heh, I think that limb has fallen off the tree and if sitting safely on the ground.

I predict within 30 days you'll see something in the Post about Udall doing something wonderful for the people of Colorado. Then as the November election gets closer you won't read anything bad about Udall in the Post regardless of what he does. I also predict that whoever the Republican opposition to Udall is the Post will find some insignificant issue to blow out of proportion day after day on there pages. The Post is banking on the fact that like years past with there help everybody will have forgotten about this by the election.

Well Udall was carefully quiet on the gun control issue last spring, unlike Bennett
