‘I Had Nothing to Do With That!’ Obama Dodges Blame For Skyrocketing Premiums
Breitbart ^ | 10.20.16 | Charles Spiering

Posted on 10/20/2016 2:23:09 PM PDT by pissant

President Barack Obama offers multiple excuses for why health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket, including blaming Republicans and insurance companies for the problems.

He complains that too many reporters spend more time discussing premium increases than explaining why he isn’t responsible for them.

“No, I had nothing to do with that,” Obama said, calling it “complicated” despite the “hysteria” that was growing.

Obama traveled to Florida to argue that Obamacare was working well, but needed to be fixed

Dirty lying bastard!! If you like your plan you can keep it...If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor....

He had to pass the bill to find out what’s in it!

Zero Republicans voted for this crap sandwich. This is what we get when the government rules against the consent of the people.

Obama is such a lying turd. He owns that piece of crap Obamacare lock, stock and barrel.

In the last 3 1/2 years since I left the Army and got off Tricare, my family’s health insurance premiums have increased from $450 to $1239 per month. In the next couple of months they will probably increase to $1700 to $2000 per month - and that is for a policy with a $5000 deductible.

OBAMA’S LIES - KEEP YOUR PLAN, KEEP YOUR DOCTOR, AND YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS WILL GO DOWN.

He’s screwed up America’s health care and we’re paying more for it than ever before. This ignorant buffoon should have no say in the formation of any laws or policy in our nation.

Obama is either incompetent, evil, or just plain stupid (or a combination of all three).

“No, I had nothing to do with that,”

Wrong. Your law revamped the entire industry; and more warnings about it's problems have come true than the great promises made about it in order to get it passed.

That's one reason they kept delaying the employer mandate. They knew that this day was coming, and they were just hoping they would be out of office by then.

The resemblance between Obama and the young Steve Urkel is remarkable.

Libya: Did I do that?
Syria: Did I do that?
The US healthcare system: Did I do that?
Russian relations: Did I do that?

Etc., etc....

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt
fraud at its finest---- designed to consolidate Democrat power.

Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation). In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion........

In Obamacare, Democrats voted to nationalize 1/6 of the US economy ---- a renewable slush fund for consolidating Dem power. Once in the hands of the criminal hordes, all that money is untraceable.

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

SELECTED DEMOCRAT QUOTES:
FROM THE UNEXPURGATED PAGES OF THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
:

<><> Nancy Pelosi (Dimwit-Calif) famously egged-on Congress to pass Obamacare "so we could see what’s in it.”

<><> Sen Mary Landrieu (Dimwit-LA) in the well of the Senate speaking to voters: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." Landrieu's O/care vote is popularly called the "Louisiana Purchase." Her (ahem) state got $4.3 billion when she voted aye. Where is the money, Mary?

<><> Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Dimwit-Calif): “I listened to the president and I believed him when he said,' if you liked your plan, you can keep your plan.' I didn’t realize there were all these codicils attached to it."

<><> Pres Barack Obama (Dimwit-Ill): "we fumbled" the healthcare roll out." (Nominated for Understatement of The Century).

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

Remember the IPAB Independent Payment Advisory Board--
the first agency created as the “fifth branch” of govt.

1) It will make all important health care decisions by authorizing payment or not.

2) It is not funded by Congress and cannot have its budget reviewed or changed.

3) Its membership cannot be changed by future Presidents,

4) It cannot be repealed by Congress, except for a six month window in 2017.

5) Its decisions are not subject to judicial review.

6) It is not authorized by the Constitution, and is therefore immune to Constitutional processes.
