Obama stands by promise that "you can keep your plan" (until you can't)

The president said Wednesday that the notices sent to consumers suggest that they're losing their coverage "somehow because of the Affordable Care Act." He argued, however, that consumers only lost coverage if insurers altered those policies at all after the law took effect. In that case, Mr. Obama said, insurers had to "replace them with quality, comprehensive coverage."

"Today that promise means that every plan in the marketplace covers a core set of minimum requirements," he said. Insurers "can't use allergies or pregnancy... or the fact that you're a woman to charge you more."

He advised the public, "If you're getting one of these letters, just shop around in the new marketplace -- that's what it's for."

The liar said that one could keep the plans if they don’t change, then had federal and state mandates make all the plans change.

He is beyond words.

You can keep your home.

You can keep your car.

You can keep your land.

You can keep your property.

You can keep your gun.

You can keep your pen and paper and speech.

Incorrect. An outright lie. Brazen, and in your face -- DARING you to do something about it.

He advised the public, "If you're getting one of these letters, just shop around in the new marketplace -- that's what it's for."

Impossible. The website simply does not work. Brazen, and in your face -- DARING you to do something about it.

And knowing you won't.

IOW, “First, they came for your health insurance plan.”

“He advised the public, “If you're getting one of these letters, just shop around in the new marketplace — that's what it's for.”

FU Obama!!!

[George from New England]

It’s the exemption that he’s given the Unions. If their plans changed due to ‘Collective Bargaining’, it is exempt from the change prohibition.

One special set of rules for Organized Labor and SCREW the rest of the public.

Lord Jug Ears, you can take your plan and shove it up your 0bama.

I have no fear of Obama. If he can’t even get a website running, then I doubt he can really harm the rest of us.
