Barbara Boxer: Obama’s Keep-Your-Plan Pledge ‘Absolutely a Fact’

November 15, 2013

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that President Barack Obama's oft-repeated pledge that under Obamacare people would be allowed to keep their health care plans if they liked them was “absolutely a fact”--so long as the plans “met the standards” set by Obamacare, that is.

CNSNews.com asked Boxer: “After President Obama signed the ACA he said that if you like your health care plan you will keep it. No one can take that away from you.”

“I think everyone knows he said that,” Boxer said, speaking shortly before Obama announced that he would let insurance companies renew policies for existing customers in the individual market through 2014, even if those policies don’t meet the law’s requirements.

“But is it true or false?” CNSNews.com asked.

“Oh, it’s absolutely a fact that if you had a plan that you wanted to keep, that met the standards, you could keep it,” Boxer said “If it was a junk plan and didn’t meet the standards, you couldn’t. But he’s about to fix it now.” ...

Barbara Boxer says, “The King does so have clothes on,
he’s wearing a crown, that’s clothes.”

Amazing these people can make such inane statements. This one really is dumb as a rock, so sad that her staff keeps trotting her out there and she is oblivious to it all.

Nothing that comes out Babs “The Brain” mouth is absolutely a fact, it’s quite the opposite.

A democrat so stupid that even the Los Angeles Times supported the Republican challenger to her a while back. named Fong IIRC.

Woman is so stupid it should be illegal to allow her to vote.

Another east coast carpetbagger that moved to California to ruin it, just like Pelouse.

What we said when we said what we said was it’s absolutely a fact that if you have a plan that you want to keep, that meets the standards, you can keep it, If it is a junk plan and doesn’t meet the standards, you can’t. But I will eventually fix it. Period. End of story.

Wasn’t there an old comedy routine with two guys and one says “You lie and I’ll swear to it!” ??? That’s what this sounds like. Hey Barbara, IT WAS A LIE. You know it, I know it, obama knew it was a lie every single time he spewed it from his lips. By signing on to it - YOU LIE!

So she’s agreeing that Obama did in fact lie. She just sunk him.

No they do not.
Boxer has a really great way to win elections....she waits until 36 hours before election day and throws s#it out all over her opponent (true or not) and spends millions the last two days reinforcing it, the opponent has no time to respond.
She has done this every election from city counsel to the state government to the house to the senate
She is scum. What pisses me off is that EVERY election is the same the the idiot republicans never seem to learn.
She is not popular or liked.

A junk plan is one that raises deductibles so high, that no one will be able to use the health services. That is like having no insurance at all, but paying high premiums every month.
