(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.” ...

Boxer you are a Moron. PERIOD
BoxerRocks, Pelousi, FeinSwine, and Worserman-Shultz are worse than Bagdad Bob. They are so deranged in trying to keep the Zero cult of personality intact that they are caricatures.
That’s it, cling to it like a dingleberry to an ass hair.
And she’ll be returned to office with 55-60 percent of the vote.
Thanks smoothsailing.
No.
Don’t put her in with the box of rocks.
They’re smarter.
Of course, this Obamagnome read the the entire bill before voting for it!
Of course, she didn't think it was worth the trouble to explain to her constituents (me) that it was ridden with flaws, contradictions and GOTCHA!s when it was being argued and discussed by the Dim-O-Crats, to the exclusion of everyone else!
How can you tell that minignome is clueless?
Her lips are moving. She's to dumb to lie, so we have to give her that.
I knew a soviet citizen emigre living in Chicago. A Christian evangelist we worked with asked him if he believed in G-d.
“If He exists I do” was the answer, an answer worthy of “senator” Boxer.
She worked do hard for that title.
a rock going down hill collects no moss. what does a box of rocks going down hill collect? this woman is one fry short of a happy meal. a brick short of a full load. the elevator does not go all the way to the top.
I have to correct that, having experience her midget intellect since the late 60s, soon after she carpetbagged from New York.
She has never been on a city council. She burst on the Marin County scene at the County Board of Supervisors during the period she served there, she did her criminal thing against opponent at every election.
Unfortunately, her skills were useless on the national scene, so it's been the basement for her, forever.
LOL!
Barbie also had the worst check kiting scam in the house when they got busted, she had the most hot checks... no one ever mentions that in a campaign...how she could not even manage her own affairs, and then tries to run the countries..
The plans that were cancelled WERE NOT JUNK PLANS, you c***.
Any tall building facade in need of a bad gargoyle? Between Boxed brain and Peelousy hard to pick which one is a crazier liar.
I guess they are betting that the democrats who are upset by losing their plans won’t be mad at them anymore. Wait till they find out if they have a plan that is not in compliance they will get a penalty come tax time wonder how super boy and Babs will spin that.
What a bunch of elitist snobs to tell someone what they own is junk.
I’ve owned a few one hundred dollar junkers in my life and they got me around.
Yes, but unfortionately for them, the technicality they want to use is an implied “if”, and only the true believers are buying it because it’s nonsense.
The other problem for them is the fact that a stated “period” was used to emphasize the promise — lots of witnesses, too! So there’s no escaping the facts.
They might try, but all they’re proving is how slimy they are and how stupid they believe us to be.
Then you do two things. Show that record well in advance, and then throw crap on her 48 hours before the election.
Jonah Goldberg beautifully nailed it:
"Who knew that dozens of flat declarative statements — 'You can keep your plan. Period' — were trailed by a cloud of asterisks like so many invisible fireflies?"
SEN. BARBARA BOXER (D-Calif.): “So we want people to be able to keep the health care they have. And the answer to that is choice of plans. And in the exchange, we’re going to have lots of different plans, and people will be able to keep the health care coverage they need and they want.” (Sen. Boxer, Press Release, 2/8/11)
I love it when Democrats spout BS.
