Obama Cancels 'You Can Keep Your Plan' Promise: 'Just Shop Around'

In a speech at Boston's Faneuil Hall on Wednesday afternoon, President Barack Obama discarded his now-infamous broken promise: "If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance." Instead, he offered a new promise: "You will be getting a better deal," the president told health insurance consumers.

He blamed insurance companies, not Obamacare, for the canceled policies:

Now, if you had one of these substandard plans before the Affordable Care Act became law, and you really like that plan, you were able to keep it. That's what I said when I was running for office. That was part of the promise we made. But ever since the law was passed, if insurers decided to downgrade or cancel the substandard plans, what we said under the law is that you have got to replace them with quality, comprehensive coverage because that, too, was a central premise of the Affordable Care Act from the very beginning...

So if you're getting one of these letters [canceling your insurance policy], just shop around in the new marketplace. That's what it's for...

Hey, its Constitutional. Just ask the Supreme Court.

(Yuck, I vomited a little when I wrote that one.)

And its THE LAW OF THE LAND. (unlike the Second Ammendment), until Dictator Obammy “grants” more waivers (without the slightest hint of any oversight).

Good thing no one plans their futures based on the absolute promises of politicians, isn’t it? I mean, no one is that dumb, are they?

While sheeple are waking up to the obastardcare disaster and we are raising hell about it he is off to immigration reform.

ACA, allowed to run the course will be a full fledged disaster. This is as good as it is bad.

Listening to Savage on illegals right now. The statistics are staggering. He is right, if they are so bad off why do so many of them drive pimped out pickups that are newer than mine? They are nothing but a cost that can’t pay their way.

Ignorant, stupid, clueless and arrogant is no way to create a positive presidential legacy!

Sub-Standard plan? I bet all those people who have just lost their insurance would beg to differ considering the cost differential.

Idiot.

It doesn't matter if they are stupid enough to do that. When people are obligated, under penalty of law, to comply with such promises.

“Just shop around”...

Except that in many “markets”, there’s only one insurer who met the Zer0care “standards”, so it’s them or, well, them. No choice.

Idiot.

Right out of their 'talking points' for this week. Two different Omamarxists testifying, gave identical lengthy testimony.

"Sub-standard" repeated over and over is supposed to make us believe that the plans we have freely chosen as perfectly acceptable and affordable is meaningless. The Constitution ( delusionally ) gives them the power to decide for millions of us what is acceptable!

NO FREEDOM OF CHOICE THERE!
