The President chose not to respond to that letter--it's been 6 or 7 weeks--but, boy, it didn't take him 24 hours to turn around a Statement of Administration Policy that said they would veto this bill should it pass the House. That's another reason for me to be for it. But, look, in this Statement of Administration Policy, it says: The Affordable Care Act forces most insurance companies to play by the rules.
