Obama admin. knew millions could not keep their health insurance

By Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye

President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.

Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent...

Now that’s amazing, I was pretty sure the whole truth would come out eventually. I hope you sent your donation in to the Corp. ;-)

I wondered how the other media would cover this story today. I got my answer when I heard the CBS radio news this morning. In between other stories, the guy dropped one sentence to the effect that up to two million people were going to lose their health insurance policies because they aren't in compliance with health care reform.

Where to start with the lies? The worst was the omission of any mention of Obama lying about it for years to the American people. CBS did not consider that worth reporting.

Maybe they drew straws. CBS pretends to report on Benghazi and NBC pretends to report on Obamacare, and then they both ignore each others reports. If we know anything we know the old media is in cahoots with the administration. They don’t do anything that violates their marching orders.

Sorry, but when the ‘rules’ ‘disqualify’ all but the ‘big names’/$$-bags, that’s NOT an ‘honest primary’. When 5 States can dictate the candidates before the other 45 have had a CHANCE to cast their own vote, that is NOT an ‘honest primary’. When you have a ‘debate’ that only spits out 30sec sound-bites, THAT is not an honest debate.

Think your moron comment was off the mark.

To liberals this sort of calculated lie is leadership. After all, sometimes animals need to be tricked into taking their pill -- for their own good of course.

I'll bet that's exactly what they did. That way, they can provide the absolute minimum coverage of a story, while still claiming to have covered it.

All those idiots will be upset because the government is not “giving” them as big a refund as they expected. These idiots have no idea the refund was their money before it was taken from them.

Uncle Sam has your banking info, even your password....Computers, Phoneline banking, heck even ATM’s are internet connected devices, reporting to the NSA. And If you use the US Mail, Every piece is scaned, front and back, to track malicious packages, they store that too.
