The White House argued Tuesday that President Barack Obama didn’t mislead the public when he repeatedly promised Americans “If you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan” under the Affordable Care Act.
Me: Yes, he DID mislead some Americans since he was speaking to ALL Americans when he said that. Some liked their plans. They ARE Americans. The President spoke to ALL Americans. Those whose plans did NOT qualify must purchase a new one and CANNOT KEEP the old one which they liked. (Is this fucking rocket science?)
“No, the president was clear about a basic fact,” Carney said Tuesday when asked directly whether Obama had misled Americans about the impact of his signature domestic achievement. “If you had insurance that you liked on the individual market, and you wanted to keep that insurance…you could.”

This part of the law does not apply to the 80 percent of Americans who receive health insurance through their employers or through Medicare or Medicaid.

Obamacare regulations estimate that, because of normal turnover in the individual insurance market, “40 to 67 percent” of customers will not be able to keep their policy.

Republicans have quickly seized upon the debate as further evidence in their longstanding case against “Obamacare.”
Me: This is only one aspect of the Affordable Care Act (it’s REAL name.) If the President had not said ALL Americans, no misrepresentation would have taken place. Affordable healthcare for ALL Americans (I said AFFORDABLE- not the SAME, not FREE, maybe even not CHEAP) is a good thing. Laws can be amended and need not always be completely repealed.
“If the president knew that these letters were coming and still indicated that you could keep your health care plan if you liked it -- now, well that raises some serious questions about the sales job of Obamacare,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said at a press conference on Capitol Hill.

“There is no way to fix this monstrosity,” Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. He vowed that the GOP would continue to seek the law’s repeal, even after a 16-day government shutdown triggered by Republican demands that Obama defund his own health care law.

“The real problem is that people weren’t told the truth. You can remember they were told that they would be able to keep their policies if they like them, and now you hear hundreds of thousands of people across the country being told they couldn’t,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
