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...

All by design and it has nothing to do with healthcare. These goons don’t care about anything but “total power and control.” They want to decide who lives and who dies just like Hitler, wanna bet?

I suppose it’s a surprise to the MSM that Obama lied to everybody, but it’s not to anybody in this forum. They had to pass that monstrosity before anyone read it because it would be obvious from the text they were lying.

PMSNBC is running for the bunkers! People have seen nothing yet. Wait till tax time next year when those who have employer provided Healthcare, that currently think they’ll be unaffected, find out they get taxed on the cost of their plan!

So NBC admits it.

They will now proceed to explain why it doesn’t really matter, why it’s really Best for You, why it was a Well Meaning error committed with only the Best of Intentions.

‘Cuz ya know Bammi’s a great guy and he would NEEeeever do anything to hurt ya.

CBS last night on Benghazi and now NBC on 0bama lies on 0bamacare.

It would be nice to think 0bummer is losing the enemedia but I doubt it.

They knew that 40-67% would lose their policies.

The media knew this too, I bet.

Again, I think flat out LYING to the American people is an impeachable offense.

Yesterday, CBS’s 60 Minutes exposes much on Benghazi, and today NBCNews hits Obamacare and the lie about keeping one’s coverage if they liked it.

Are the MSM finally turning?

Nahhhhh. Occasional random acts of journalism don’t make them reliable or middle-of-the-road. They still have an agenda.

At least with the Obama administration, there are enough crises and disasterous policies to keep the newsies busy running in circles. One crisis trumps another in news coverage, so none really get much attention.

Obfuscation under the guise of being news.

This has not been a new revelation, over a year ago I got a letter saying my plan was getting canceled.
The media purposely refused to report on this and every other lie just to make sure Obama wasn't damaged through the 2012 election.
This is nothing short of economic treason.
