Republicans Tried To Prevent Loss of Insurance Under New Health Care Law

[From article]
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul told an audience in Charleston, S.C. last week that the wave of health insurance cancellations following the Affordable Care Act's implementation came from 'a regulation written by President Obama' months after he signed the law.
And every Senate Democrat, he said during his Nov. 11 remarks, voted against the GOP's attempt to block the regulation.
[. . .]
'I'm still learning about it,' Paul said of the Affordable Care Act. 'It’s 20,000 pages of regulations. The Bill was 2,000 pages. And I didn’t realize this until this week – the whole idea of you losing or getting your insurance cancelled wasn’t in the original Obamacare [law]. It was a regulation written by President Obama, three months later.'
[. . .]
During a brief debate, Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley complained that 'only in the District of Columbia could you get away with telling the people "if you like what you have you can keep it," and then pass regulations six months later that do just the opposite, and figure that people are going to ignore it.'

Revealed: Senate Republicans tried to block Obamacare rule that caused millions of insurance cancellations, but EVERY Democrat voted to save it
In a 2010 Senate vote, Republicans failed to block the Obamacare regulation responsible for as many as 5 million insurance cancellations
The vote was 59-40, with every Democrat opposed
Sen. Rand Paul told a partisan crowd last week that the rule was never part of the Affordable Care Act, but was tacked on later by the White House
The so-called 'grandfather' clause virtually guarantees the cancellation of private health insurance policies that change in any way from year to year
