Nearly 200,000 Colorado Health Plans to be Canceled Despite Obamacare Extension

Republican’s fault = women and children hit hardest.

/s

(Americans as well as) "Coloradans were promised by supporters of Obama's
healthcare law that if they liked their plans, they could keep their plans........”

As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act:"

QUOTING OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”

Repeated over and over by every loyal Democrat---- conning Americans into believing they'd also be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

Hillary originally used the wonderfully reassuring “if you like your plan, keep your plan” a phrase that helped Obozo get reelected.....

Impressive list of quotes. They can't all be lying, can they?

With not much respect to Mr. Gardner, frankly, a worthless promise made by a federal government tyrant puts no onus on the State of Colorado to make good that promise.

And we never heard the media ask one rat about any “back-up plan” in case of this happening, like they’re haranguing the Republicans for, depending on the Supreme Court decision. Of course, the rats lied about it in the first place, but that’s a small matter/s

If the good Republican Senator has a PROBLEM with the healthcare law, perhaps he should try to GET IT FIXED, so his state won’t have to rely to the goodwill (and waivers) of others to keep his people insured.

Not one of them actually read the law. They relied on their party to give them set talking points to disseminate to the stupid voters.

When I wrote to my idiot congressman begging him not to vote for this mess, his response was an obvious form letter. Didn’t even bother to address any of my concerns specifically.

You got that right---and remember this:

<><> Dems voted to subsidize O/Care by decimating Medicare Advantage for their senior constituents.

<><> Dems calculatedly kept the gruesome details to themselves while egging on loyal lock-stepping Democrats to vote for O/Care.

<><> Dems lied to Americans in a way so specific, it showed they knew exactly what to spin and how......via the infamous "If you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan."

<><> Making believe they'd actually read the ACA bill, duping voters into thinking they understood its implications.

<><> Feigned "surprise" at townhalls---when grassroots voters complained about O/Care.

======================================

Now most Americans are very forgiving----they will forgive pols of most anything---EXCEPT when a pol does not understand the impact of a campaign statement.

Dems desperate and deplorable tactics---vilifying and slandering voters---high and mighty liberals blindly voting Obamacare proved to be their undoing.

Impressive list of quotes. They can't all be lying, can they?

*****

As Supreme Court justices Roberts and Kennedy were trying to come to a decision concerning the ObameCare case before them, they were overheard making this comment: "All those Senators and Representatives said what? Unbelievable. They can't all be lying, can they?"

Impressive list of quotes. They can't all be lying, can they?

Nope, just Parrots.

Their actions are criminal. All of them from Obama and his handlers on down, should be in prison. And I would include more than a few Republicans in that group too.

Of course, none of them will be prosecuted. I can only pray that when they leave this life, their Maker will exact the appropriate punishment.

You have to lose your insurance to get your insurance.

Channel 9News said about 75,000 of the people losing the ability to renew their noncompliant plans are on individual plans, while 115,000 are covered through small businesses.

What a fiasco.
