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...

Its called “salesmanship”.

Its called “telling you what you need to hear to get you to do what they want you to do”.

Because once the pony is out the barn door, there is no getting it back in.

Video of the obamists talking in front of friendly audiences show them admitting quite openly that the intent from the beginning is to put an end to private health care. The video is out there, but the alphabet networks never showed it.

Now Drudge has the headline in red letters.

Kind of like they realized after having it up an hour that it’s kind of a big deal.

Check out the comments at the site. I read the first 50 or so. Every last one of them reflects FURY at the lies of Obama!

Are the MSM finally turning?

No. Just doing what they do best. Back stabbing.

“Wait till tax time next year when those who have employer provided Healthcare, that currently think they’ll be unaffected, find out they get taxed on the cost of their plan!”

That would be interesting and they might like to, but it would be difficult. There are probably nearly as many retired folks receiving health insurance from the companies they worked for as there are employes. What are they going to do? Send them a W2?

***********
The cascade of negative stories (Fast & Furious, Benghazi, Obamacare rollout, Snowden, etc.) is piling up to the point they they have breeched the MSM containment wall. The media can no longer can’t hide all the crises and their own credibility is in shambles. The MSM may be getting tired of trying to defend the indefensible.
