Politifact was right to name President Obama’s “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” proclamation as its 2013 “Lie of the Year.” Yet, they missed out on another whopper of a fib a few years earlier in 2009.
At the Heritage Foundation’s Conservative Policy Summit in Washington, DC on Tuesday, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), a pro-life warrior who has been involved in the movement for 42 years, exposed President Obama’s misleading statement about his signature legislation:
“On Sept 9, 2009 in a joint session of Congress, Obama said in his health care reform, under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortion. In an eleventh hour ploy to garner a remnant of pro-life congressional Democrats absolutely needed to pass the Affordable Care Act, the president issued an executive order on March 24, 2010 and said, ‘The act maintains current Hyde Amendment restrictions governing abortion policy and extends those restrictions to duly created health insurance exchanges.'”
“It turns out that those ironclad promises by the president himself, are absolutely untrue.”
The Hyde Amendment, Smith explained, has two indisputable parts: it prohibits direct funding for abortion and funding for any insurance plan that includes abortion, except in the cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
Smith discussed just how Obamacare violates this specific law.

It was for the five minute segment in which it was uttered.
Duh. History tells the story. Never has a government or regime started a Healthcare system to benefit anyone. At least not the masses. Ever. It was, is and always will be about control.
Far from it.
The conniving Obama calculated the ACA as the vehicle to consolidate Democrat power that was supposed to install a permanent Dumbocrat majority.
So much for that ding-dong idea....b/c 30 lockstepping Dumbocrats who voted for it were ousted in the 2014 Midterm Democrat Demolition Derby.
Several lock-stepping Dumbocrats retired knowing they could not be reelected.
A Politico-sponsored cocktail party held at the 10th anniversary event marked the "Clinton Presidential Center."
(The 10th anniversary of what?). (Yawn) My, how time flies.
CLINTON/POLITICO/GRUBERING --- Opportunistic Billy-boy hoped "stupid Americans" would ignore the details when he pontificated to an appreciative audience during the cocktail hour hosted by POLITICO:
"We had 100 times as many people move from poverty into the middle class. This shows the importance of policy." Pumping 2016 Hillary, he added: "We can do this again.”
Billy Boy plumb "forgot" infamous MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber crunched those numbers for the ever-ambitious Clintons....basing the numbers on the Clintons' knee-bending abortion worship. Read on.

NEW YORK – Obamacare architect, Jonathan Gruber, (exposed for his frank admissions that passing Obama's signature legislation required lying to "stupid" Americans)......published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14B in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African Americans.....and lowered crime.
MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber argued in his Clinton paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, “marginal children” would have been born to many poor mothers. Gruber said statistics show these aborted children would have been 70 percent more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40 percent more likely to live in poverty, 50 percent more likely to receive welfare and 35 percent more likely to die as an infant.
Economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book, “Freakonomics,” relied on MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber’s work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50 percent reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s. more at wnd.com ==
