Barack Obama is doing everything in his power to encourage average Americans to sign up for the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare. In fact, he's doing everything he possibly can to keep the legislation that has been deemed his legacy, from dying.
On Monday, Obama shared a video, reminding Americans to sign up in case they get "very sick" in 2019.
No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to https://t.co/ob1Ynoesod today and pass this on — you just might save a life. pic.twitter.com/8mHMsXGY0g— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) December 10, 2018
What's bogus is Obama makes the claim that most people can get health insurance for $50 to $100 a month, which he says is significantly less than a person's cell phone bill.
A couple years ago, when I had my own business, I had health insurance through the exchange. I was paying roughly $350/month for just myself. My deductible was significantly lower than some of the other plans that had lower premiums and higher deductibles. I don't see the doctor very much but when I do, I don't want a $300-$400 bill.
Out of curiosity, I checked how much it would be for me to get a plan on Obamacare. Right now. For a 26-year-old, who sees the doctor 3-4 times a year and takes 2-3 prescriptions, there was nothing under $270 in Idaho. How is that less than my cell phone bill? And how is that affordable when the deductibles are thousands and thousands of dollars? What incentive do people – especially young adults my age – have to enroll in Obamacare when they'd pay more health insurance than they'd spend out-of-pocket for the few times a year they see the doctor?
This is another fabricated lie, just like "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor."
Probably for birth control pills and depression medications
I hope he dies from a slow painful disease.
Obama Pushes Bogus Claim About ACA: Your Premiums Cost Less Than Your Cell Phone Bill

Maybe he meant it costs less than an iPhone. If you purchased an iPhone every month.
He is talking about the medicaid people. My daughter had a low paying job in a library and did not apply for Medicaid. Her Silver Plan was 375 a month and 3500 deductible which she bever reached.
The Halfrican is still lying in his teeth.
May he slowly sink into his own asshole.
He’s never paid either bill in his life and is banking millions.
He’s a clueless dork.
has he ever seen a cell phone bill?
He's gonna look like Al "Jew Them Down" Sharpton's older brother from another mother soon.
See that’s were you’re wrong, Barky. I have my ‘free’ Obama-phone!
Every picture of O’Bummer that I have seen in the past year gives me the impression that O’Bummer has AIDS. Could we be so lucky?
Good to see that Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is still lying.
Some things you can just count on: The Sun rising. Ocean waves crashing. Obama lying.
He is a lying bastard but we all know that.
Anybody paying $1,800 a month for their cell phone? How about $900?
Anybody?
He has a portrait in the attic doncha know
Just "pos" will do nicely...
For my family of 4 I’m paying $1,800 a month, after my company pays the first 60%. Its more than my mortgage and property taxes combined. NY State. Go figure.
My cell phone bill costs 80 bucks a year.
Wow, you must use it very seldom. Do you have a landline?
