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...

Ted Cruz is looking wiser and more trustworthy with every passing day.

The man has been vindicated as far as I’m concerned.

You made me go there to check it out. 99% of the comments are strongly negative! most against Obama himself. Gotta love that.

Was shocked to read one comment: “Where’s Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him?” Wonder if that guy is at his front door answering to the secret service right now.

Funny thing is that NBC knew back in 2009 too, but they failed to live up to the Constitutional exception they have. They let the American people down.

Maybe those darn liberals are beginning to realize that they’re going to have to get the Democratic Party back from Obama and his buddies.

A 1099. That started last Jan. 1st. Speaking of retired folks, they get a 3.8% tax on passive income.

And I don’t have any passive income... My taxable income has been zero for the last 5 years.

Only the ones who cannot qualify for Medicare.

Medicare is going to get so many new people on it that it will sink.

I keep dreaming: and in my dream I see Mussolini, and his girlfriend hanging upside down. Mussolini looks a lot like Harry Reid and his girlfriend looks like Nancy Pelosi.

I see a Hitler looking like Obama refusing to send help for them.

Does History really repeat itself? Will an angered public actually do these things?

I know it’s only a nightmare, but some nightmares like Obmacare come true.

I do not see how democrats will avoid the fallout from Obamacare. I realize they will try to blame it on Republicans, but that is another dream called “Mission Impossible”.

Knowingly and deliberately lying to the American people. And this would not be High Crimes and Misdemeanors?

I have to wonder what the GOPe leadership has to say about this. Is Boner crying in his drink while being speechless? Is Mitch on his knees with his mouth full again and not able to say anything. Meanwhile Barrack, Nancy and dingy Harry just laugh.

Goldwater said she supports the new law and is grateful for provisions helping folks like her with pre-existing conditions, but she worries she won’t be able to afford the new insurance, which is expected to cost more because it has more benefits. "I'm jealous of people who have really good health insurance," she said. "It's people like me who are stuck in the middle who are going to get screwed."

She supports the law and then admits she will get screwed?

What a dope!

Keep the GOP out of this.

Let the Dems hang themselves. Don't give them the opportunity of turning the target toward Boehner.
