Obama admin. knew millions could not keep their health insurance

By Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye

President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.

Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent...

How can they continue this farce? We were intentionally lied to, the plan is nothing but a fraud, not even close to what was represented. Shut this lie down and impeach the liar that gave it to us. If he is allowed to get away with this extortion, nothing will ever stop him, we really will be under the rule of a dictatorship.

Interesting take on this article at Ace of Spades....

“Although the law claims that all policies in effect from March 23, 2010, will be grandfathered, the agency writing the regulations for this law wrote them as narrowly as possible — any change in premium, copay, benefit package, or anything at all would be taken as a whole new policy, and thus be stripped of grandfather status and required, by law, to be terminated.

And the White House, of course, oversees the executive agencies writing regulations — including the one that that almost completely took back the law’s promise that you could keep your current policy.

And they’ve known they were doing this, and they knew they were taking back Obama’s promise via bureaucratic regulation, for three years.”

To try to avoid impeachment, the media will be reporting this in the news soon.

“Administration Officials Claim That Obama Was Never Informed That He Was President”

If the Obama administration admitted in July 2010 that Obamacare would cause people to lose their insurance, why did the mainstream media wait more than tree years to report this information?

On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taking in had been revived
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake

Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake

“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you’ve bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in.

I hope you don't put too much trust in the MSM, because they will back off in a heartbeat when things get too hot for Hussein.

I put zero hope in the MSM.

That's why when they are on a roll in blaming Obama for his catastrophe I say don't get in their way. Every little bit helps.

All the lies Obama told about healthcare are now being aired. It's a big mistake to interrupt that.

Yep. Via one of Soros’ “foundations”, probably. Quite the wordsmith she is.

Romney was only the candidate because the GOPe's inaction. They did not to thwart him in the primary.

You are a moron.

Conservatives do not want a political party leadership that can make or break candidates.

We had an honest primary. Romney was nobody's favorite until conservatives knocked every candidate who was better than Romney out of the running by their quest for purity.

The problem was that conservatives could not coalesce around a single candidate and stick with him/her.

But your call for a political party that takes out candidates you don't like is not my idea of freedom.

They will now proceed to explain why it doesn’t really matter, why it’s really Best for You, why it was a Well Meaning error committed with only the Best of Intentions.

That meme is already out there, along with the "Who is most qualified to fix it?" story.

They're getting done with it now before the election. It will be "old news" by then.

If there's a private sector to blame it on, then it will be their fault whether true or not.Just look at the Dems blaming "the private sector" for all their website woes.

Hopefully after fixing the websites, Obama will get around to lowering those sea levels and healing the planet like he promised.
