Obama: “And you could keep your doctor too”
Obama was pretty much correct too, provided you had money to pay the doctor after paying the high Obamacare premiums.
With a typical Obamacare deductible of $5,000, the chance of an Obamacare plan paying any doctor was slim unless you needed surgery in a hospital in any given policy year.
With astronomical Obamacare-level deductibles, you rarely would benefit financially by seeing a doctor other than your own.
As for your insurance plan keeping your doctor, Obama made no similar promise.
