The president:
“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.”
A new estimate from healthcare expert Bob Laszewski (via the Weekly Standard):
The U.S. individual health insurance market currently totals about 19 million people. Because the Obama administration's regulations on grandfathering existing plans were so stringent about 85% of those, 16 million, are not grandfathered and must comply with Obamacare at their next renewal. The rules are very complex. For example, if you had an individual plan in March of 2010 when the law was passed and you only increased the deductible from $1,000 to $1,500 in the years since, your plan has lost its grandfather status and it will no longer be available to you when it would have renewed in 2014. These 16 million people are now receiving letters from their carriers saying they are losing their current coverage and must re-enroll in order to avoid a break in coverage and comply with the new health law's benefit mandates––the vast majority by January 1. Most of these will be seeing some pretty big rate increases.

No wonder Barry and his band of ‘RATs want to change the subject to the Freeway to U.S. “citizenship” for the illegal alien criminals.
“[N]o matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period,” Obama said to an audience at the annual conference of the American Medical Association. “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”
“Again, [the Affordable Care Act] is for people who aren’t happy with their current plan. If you like what you’re getting, keep it. Nobody is forcing you to shift,” he later added.
Wow...this is a “read my lips’ moment X 100.
But But But, how can this be..Obama and his cronies kept on saying “If you like your insurance you can keep your insurance” could it be..they LIED..nah cant be
This is why Obama and the Dems are pressing for Amnesty so badly..because he knows he is going to lose so many voters he needs those illegals who will be getting free health care to vote for him
Read my lips ... x16 Million!
He is a lying sack of steaming fetid yak scat. He is a communist through and through. What can we expect?
In order to give 30 million Americans hgealth care many of them do not want Obama screws 16 million Americans out of their healthcare and raises the cost on the rest.
What a plan. Thanks Nancy-—now we know what’s in it.
Dems are already preparing for the lost voters because of this..people are PISSED..this is why Amnesty is so crucial to the Dems, to make up for lost voters..which they dont care about anyway because getting illegals Amnesty and free health care is just icing on the cake for the Communist agenda
The American people nevertheless will never figure out what struck them.
As funny as it is, millions of our little countrymen lack the intelligence and foresight to discern.
And bonehead and Co will give them the voters they need..
Tear up your insurance cards. Quit paying premiums. Tell the health care system to take a hike. It is time for a little rebellion!
Yabut;
What if you break a leg, get cancer and have a heart attack...or something?
Well, that means those 16 million people, if they are smart will structure their withholdings from their income to make sure their tax returns next year are as near zero, or owe very little, to keep the IRS from fining them...
Better to owe a little more, or as close to zero as possible, because it is clear the only way to collect or garnish a fine for not applying for this new tax called ObamaCare, is to not get any money back from Uncle Sucky...
One or two years of this and ObamaCare will collapse of its own weight...It’ll be much more than what Congress has been able to do in 3-4 years of trying to Constitutionally defund it...
I’ve already made provisions/projections to accomodate this plan, and I hope more folks do this...
ObamaCare only works if you sign up for it, or allow the IRS to come in and garnish your tax returns...
That’s just the way I see it...Get enough people in on this deal and it’ll go away...At least until the liberals figure out how to tax you some other way...Which is always a possibility...
There is always a work around...you just have to committ to fighting it yourself, because no one else seems to be able to garner enough political courage to get it done...
Just my opinion...
All in one day? ;-)
Your energy is totally misdirected. The perpetrator is the government, not the "health care system." If you want to go without healthcare, be my guest. But no one will notice or care until you die on the sidewalk. Focus.
