In a speech at Boston's Faneuil Hall on Wednesday afternoon, President Barack Obama discarded his now-infamous broken promise: "If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance." Instead, he offered a new promise: "You will be getting a better deal," the president told health insurance consumers.

He blamed insurance companies, not Obamacare, for the canceled policies:

Now, if you had one of these substandard plans before the Affordable Care Act became law, and you really like that plan, you were able to keep it. That's what I said when I was running for office. That was part of the promise we made. But ever since the law was passed, if insurers decided to downgrade or cancel the substandard plans, what we said under the law is that you have got to replace them with quality, comprehensive coverage because that, too, was a central premise of the Affordable Care Act from the very beginning...

An offer you can’t refuse, is more like it.

Shop mens you can buy nothing.

Buy nothing and Obama is going to fine you.

We're fortunate to have a communist to explain markets to us.

Yet there are some people; the ones that actually work and make a few bucks, that may or may not endorse Obamacare.

How will hospital employees get paid as everyone is losing their insurance and won’t be able to pay up, and no insurance company is paying out?

Sounds like the story about the galley slaves chained to their oars and rowing a big ship. One day the overseer comes down and says, "Alright, listen up! I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that you're all getting extra rations!"

A cheer goes up from the benches.

"And the bad news is ... the captain wants to go water-skiing!"
