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

Penny Starr

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.” ...

As ObamaCare continues to unravel, expect more and more outrageous statements.

Why? Because they figure they have nothing else to lose. They can't defend this anymore so they'll just throw out wild accusations and statements in the hope that the public, maybe, just maybe, might believe at least one of them

She and Pelosi lie as much as Obama does. These two are so far out that left field is not even in the ball park, city, state, or this country.

They just have to give their 51% of Low-Info Voters a reason. The rest (which includes us) can go straight to the Devil.

Where do idiots like this come from? Truth is foreign to them. No wonder this nation is in such deep ‘dodo’. Boxer must have crawled out from under one of the rocks.

Actually, what he said was, “No one can take that away from you—except ME!”

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.

Glad you remember that. She absolutely SMEARED that poor guy at the last second when she was down in the polls, with that buying porn story. And then she said would fire her campaign head - and of course hired him back, after the "heat" died down.

But she will always get re-elected here in the land of the stupid. Sigh .

They believe they’re smarter than everyone because they know how to use slimy, twisted lawyer-speak to weasel their way out of their lies.

They’re demented to say the least, but I know there’s got to be a psychological profile to describe their vileness.

They’re arguing about technicalities that at BEST don’t have a trifle to do with the facts upon the ground.

Well this is how God lets evil get obvious. In general lies are evil.

I tell you, trying to decide which among the following senators is the biggest cretin is a real challenge:

Barbara Boxer
Elizabeth Warren
Patty Murray

Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin are not cretins, but they are absolutely evil.

Did Barbara Boxer run this pas the architect of Obamacare, Ezekiel Emanuel? He is supposed to be the authority on the implementation of the complusi8on policy, and if individuals are allowed to keep even their old “unsatisfactory” policies, that just delays the full deployment.

And every day deployment is delayed, is just one more day for the victims, er, “clients” of the “insurance marketplaces” have to really take a look at the pig in a poke they are buying.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens the DemonCraps heard to the polls in sanctuary cities like La and SF to vote for her.

Whenever Barbara Boxer speaks, something is subtracted from the sum total of human knowledge.
