Steny Hoyer admits: We knew that not everyone would be able to keep their plan;

This is the same guy, remember, who wants to throw more money at the ObamaCare website even though he says he’s not sure that would actually help.

I wonder what his “solution” to the insurance industry’s developing adverse-selection problem will be.

“We knew that there would be some policies that would not qualify and therefore people would be required to get more extensive coverage,” Hoyer said in response to a question from National Review.

Asked by another reporter how repeated statements by Obama to the contrary weren’t “misleading,” Hoyer said “I don’t think the message was wrong. I think the message was accurate. It was not precise enough…[it] should have been caveated with – ‘assuming you have a policy that in fact does do what the bill is designed to do.’”

Another "bammer didn't lie" robot. He just wasn't 'accurate' enough. And the the media will buy (along with half the country) this crap, along with what Sebileous and Carney are spewing.

The FIRST thing that Obama says in a speech is ALWAYS a Lie.

The SECOND thing that Obama says in a speech is to accuse a Republican of thinking some evil thing that Obama has already done.

The saddest and most corrupt thing about this whole mess....

They have no idea what’s in it. They don’t care what’s in it. In typical liberal fashion, lets just wing it, try to figure it out later and blame everyone and their mother after it fails.

These people are so effin’ disgusting, its sickening.

If a private company tried this they would be hauled into court and sued into oblivion for false advertising, fraud, malfeasance, and incompetence....but the government is exempt.

Steny Hoyer is Pelosi’s pimp.

If Pelosi said crap he would ask her where and how high.

“We knew that there would be some policies that would not qualify and therefore people would be required to get more extensive coverage,” Hoyer said in response to a question from National Review.

Having to choose between either being incompetent or lying, the Marxists have chosen to acknowledge that they knew they would require citizens to buy more "extensive coverage".

Phase two. Now they must be forced to admit that the reason for the more "extensive coverage" was that so citizens could absorb some of the cost of other citizens who could not pay for the coverage they needed.

For instance, young men require less coverage than women, healthy people require less coverage than people with preexisting conditions, and so forth.

This is a wealth distribution scheme. Socialized medicine. From each according to their means to each according to their need.

Hopefully after fixing the websites, Obama will get around to lowering those sea levels and healing the planet like he promised.

Steny Hoyer can be seen employing a new technique he learned from speech coach Bawney Fwank.

There will be meetings on the “Obamacare Enslavement Act” across the country to assist people on understanding it. There will be Navigators (I've heard these people once worked for ACORN) there to answer questions. I hope there will be lots of people asking them the same question I'm going to ask, “How do I opt out?”
