Report: Obama administration knew millions wouldn't be able to keep insurance (he lied)
Yahoo! News ^ | 10/28/13 | Mike Krumboltz, Yahoo News

Posted on 10/28/2013 6:56:58 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

Before the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, President Obama promised Americans they could keep their healthcare plan if they liked it. But already hundreds of thousands of citizens are receiving notification that their plans are being cancelled because they don't comply with the new law, and, according to NBC News, the Obama administration has known for at least three years the cancellations were coming.

While campaigning for health care reform in 2009, Obama went out of his way to make one thing perfectly clear: if you like your current health care plan, you will be able to keep it.

On June 15, 2009, Obama said this: "We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.”

In 2012, he echoed that sentiment, saying, "“If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.”

However, many are finding that not to be the case. More than 300,000 cancellation notices have been sent out in Florida, according to Kaiser Health News, and another 180,000 in California. In New Jersey, the number of cancellations tops 800,000, the Star-Ledger reports.

According to NBC News, approximately 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million Americans who buy their health insurance individually should expect to receive a cancellation letter over the next year "because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law."

I keep telling everybody it was just a prompter malfunction or misread. He was actually supposed to say "If I like your insurance plan, you can keep it!"

I really don’t think Great Leader was aware of this at the time.

He lies in his sleep.

He lies on the potty.

He lies to his toothbrush.

He always lies.

Sure he lied — but it’s for the “common good.”

I hope the Obamabots enjoy their Hopey Changey Lies and Deceit that was shoved down every American’s throat by the Demokkkrats 100%. Every vote. Not a single Republican vote passed this lie. Hope they enjoy being such suckers and losers for believing the lies.

I had a feeling, I won’t claim to have known, that there was no way he was telling the truth . . . that those policies would be canceled for various reasons and excuses. By the millions.

Taquiyya and lying for the muslim faith.

The word “Taqiyya” literally means: “Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one’s beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.

Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a “religion of peace”. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart. (See endnotes)

We need to stop blaming all this evil on Obama. He’ll be gone in a couple years. We need to point out that this bill was written and forced on the American people by the Democrats and especially the elites.

So can we impeach this bastard yet? Isn’t willfully and knowingly harming the health/risking the lives of the people a treasonable offense? I would be very curious to see if this has happened yet or if it will: Someone being turned away in an emergency because they USE to have insurance and as a result they die. I don’t believe hospitals can do that anymore but it would bring this thing up a notch if it did, but I assume it won’t matter because the RINO party will ignore it anyway

He would have to be an absolute moron to NOT know people would lose their insurance. You didn’t have to read very far into the bill to make that determination.

The fact that NBC is reporting that the administration knew it.... is what’s big news. And now Yahoo! is reporting on that. Good. About time.
