Obamacare is so wonderful that Obama had to lie about it for years...
He didn’t say it just once.
No, the president said it at least twenty-three separate times over a four-year period: “If you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you.”
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Hundreds of thousands of people recently received notices from their insurers informing them that they would not be able to keep their plans under Obamacare. Millions more will discover the same thing over the next few weeks.
They’ll lose the reliable, affordable plans they have now.
And they’ll instead have the option to purchase more expensive, more comprehensive plans that they may not need or want.
Some will no doubt find the coverage available under Obamacare unaffordable. So they’ll go without — and pay the individual mandate penalty of $95 or 1 percent of income in 2014.
Thanks to Obamacare, more than two millions Americans have received letters denying renewal of their existing policies.
That’s triple the number of people who have attempted to buy new plans under the law.
In California, 279,000 people have been told they’re being stripped of their coverage; in Michigan, 140,000; in Florida, 300,000; and in New Jersey, 800,000.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Of the 19 million people with individual-market health insurance, approximately 16 million could lose their current plans.
The rash of changes to Americans’ existing insurance coverage will soon extend to the employer marketplace.
That shouldn’t be a surprise.
After all, the Department of Health and Human Services predicted back in 2010 that by the end of this year, 66 percent of small employer plans and 45 percent of large health plans would lose the “grandfather status” that exempted them from the law’s many expensive mandates.
