Most people have health insurance their employer and the plans will not change much, so this is true what he says.

But this is not what obamma said.

There’s nothing about Axelrod’s statement that is true.

People with employer based insurance coverage are finding out that the plans they had are changing under the rules for coverage that are being imposed by obamacare. The coverage, the deductible, the premiums - all are subject to change - or that health coverage is being dropped altogether by their employer.

But yes, the worst of all the lies are Obama’s exact words that “if you like your plan, you can keep it”.

Er, uh correction. Where I work, our plan has already changed. More cost to the employee, less coverage.

And this was in before the mandate. What happens when the employer mandate hits? It would still be cheaper for my employer to drop coverage for all employees all together versus pay the fine. I am very concerned about next year. There is always the risk of being laid off, too.

And employer doesn't cover spouse and dependents. So, they have their own, individual plans. I am crossing my fingers that their plan won't be dropped. Then we will be screwed and will be forced to buy Obamacare.

Here in my office, we were all bracing for a large premium increase or change in the terms of our company health insurance plan. Our open enrollment started today, and as it turns out my premium will increase about 16% over last year, with no other changes. So I'm relieved, but the LIVs in my office who were beginning to think that Obamacare might be the disaster that we have been predicting are thinking that's it's not that bad after all, as it hasn't affected them--YET.

Most employer provided plans are already changing (and not for the better) due to Obamacare requirements. Furthermore, those that have plans that are designated ‘Cadillac’ plans by the new law, will likely lose those plans as their employers are going to get the sh*t taxed out of them for providing healthcare that’s ‘too good’.

Bottom line is that everyone is going to feel the ripple effect of this horrible legislation, regardless of what you might think.
