Dismantling The Obama Health Care Plan One Piece At A Time -- Absolutely Nothing To Do With The Bakken

Just so you all know, before I start: I support the intent of the Obama health care plan, and support much of the individual pieces of the program. I don't know the details of most of the plan so it's inappropriate for me to comment on those pieces. Of course, by their own admission, most of those who voted for it at the time, had not read it either, but that's another story.

But even before the bill is adjudicated (would that be the right word?) in court, the administration is starting to, as the story says below, "pull the plug" on certain parts of it.

The Obama administration Friday pulled the plug on a major program in the president's signature health overhaul law - a long-term care insurance plan dogged from the beginning by doubts over its financial solvency.

Targeted by congressional Republicans for repeal, the long-term care plan became the first casualty in the political and policy wars over the health care law. The program had been expected to launch in 2013.

My understanding is that this was not entirely partisan as the writer would suggest.
