But we swear it wasn't political...

In no time flat, someone competently doing their job in a manner unflattering to our president is removed from office, but they swear it wasn't political.  The insurance commissioner for the District of Columbia (Washington DC to you and I) was removed shortly after publicly doing his job.  He released a statement shortly after the president announced plans to allow people with policies being cancelled to keep them for another year.  However, this item is more of a suggestion on his part, since the plan would have to be approved by the insurance commissioner in every state and the District of Columbia.  Several were very quick to point out that this would not work as it undermined the ACA and was not allowed according to the law as passed.  However, it appears that the DC commissioner was out of line due to his failure to run it by someone above him.  People who admit that in actuality, he was correct in his public statement and that they would not be allowing the president's suggestion to fly.  It wasn't what he said, it was how he said it.  So, it appears that after all the fiasco and failure surrounding the ACA, the only person to lose their job so far is someone who was doing their job correctly.
