Obama Care is a like. President Dim Won’s oft repeated statement, with respect to Obama Care, that if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance has been deemed by Jonah Goldberg as a lie of historic magnitude, video:
From the right wing extremist news organization, employer of Miss Chrissie Matthews, NBC News:
That means the administration [sic, regime] knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.
Yet President Obama, who had promised in 2009, “if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan,” was still saying in 2012, “If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.”
Reax, William A. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection:
You can keep your doctor and your insurance plan if you want to. Guaranteed.
It was more of a “lie” than George W. Bush’s statements regarding Iraq having WMD stockpiles, which were in reliance on faulty intelligence that most Democrats and others in the world believed too.
With Obama, there was no bi-partisan cheering section as there was with Iraq.
There never was a basis for the categorical sales pitch.
The professor said never. The regime knew, and the regime lied. Hold the regime accountable, support Senator Ron Johnson, from Melissa Quinn, Red Alert Politics:
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) announced Friday he plans to introduce a bill titled the “If You Like Your Health Plan, You Can Keep It Act” next week. The legislation will amend the Affordable Care Act to allow Americans to keep their current health insurance plans as opposed to discontinuing such plans and forcing them into the exchanges.
“Americans want the freedom to choose their own plans and want to be in control of their own health care,” Johnson said in a press release. “They don’t want Obamacare destroying what they have and what they like. They don’t want their personal choices regarding their health plans and their families’ health plans canceled by Obamacare.”
If Barack and Kathleen Sebelius attempted this bait and switch act while selling used cars, they would both be in jail.
Addendum: Reax, R.S. McCain:
How bad is the failure of ObamaCare? Bad enough that MSNBC’s Morning Joe can’t ignore it, says Pete Da Tech Guy. While they cannot ignore it, however, the liberal media must find some explanation that makes this failure look less predictable than it was, and how to make President Obama’s deliberate lies look like innocent errors:
It keeps getting deeper.
