House
Analysis: This week the House may consider the “Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013.” The bill would seek to redefine the “grandfather clause” in Obamacare to prevent Americans from receiving cancellation notices of their health insurance policies. Still, this legislation would fail to address the fundamental flaws of Obamacare.
