The President literally can't go a week without having to deal without damage control in full swing. Needs to start paying those staffers some serious money Tbh.

It seems obvious to me that he knew and lied. Well, either that or God help us because if people who knew so little redesigned our system we're forked.

It's really shocking that Obama lied about this.

Er, wait, he didn't lie. He didn't know. Keeps everything plausibly an arm's length away just like a good politician.

The joke will be on him if this shit really does blow up like it's looking it may do. If all these people get booted off insurance and even with subsidies their premiums sky rocket they will be forever "grateful". Granted, there's so much FUD flying around now I don't know what will end up happening.
 
There've been impeachments for less than this clown has done. Guess all is well when the dems control the senate. Repubs aren't doing anything about his dishonesty either, bringing me to the belief they are all just different colors of the same manure. At least the mainstream media is starting to call him out. Never thought I'd see that.

QFT.

We're dumped at the end of the year (self employed). Found out that the insurer must provide maturity insurance and dental for kids. I'm 49 and the wife is 50. Pretty sure we won't be needing maturity insurance. Hell, prior to my son being concieved, we knew we couldn't afford that insurance so I paid out of pocket.

Impeach and when found guilty, well, you know.
 
Interestingly, this link is broken to a 404 page not found.

So I searched for "obama knew" and got this blurp. However the link it refers to is broken.

Self-censoring by the media, again?

"Obama admin. knew millions could not keep their health insurance
Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye

5 hours ago

President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years."

You mean getting like a blowie in the oval?

Not his fault...Obama doesn't know shit. Get with the program!
 
Obama admin. knew millions could not keep their health insurance

Most obvious statement ever. The law was written specifically to disallow cheaper and less comprehensive policies. Everyone *must* have no less than whatever insurance coverage the administration thinks is sufficient, no matter how irrelevant the coverage is to their needs.
 
im surprised the obamites have not chimed in yet on its all bullshit.
They're all too busy celebrating Dear Leader's victory.

"Dear Leader won! Dear Leader won! (America lost) Dear Leader won! All that matters is His legacy!"
 
Headlines freak people out... but you gotta love their lies.

Because of the new ACA requirements, which are by the way in the public favor FYI, requires such changes as NOT turning down people because of pre-exisitings, removing caps, allowing the kids to stay on their parents plan to age 26, providing free preventive care, health insurance companies cannot arbitrarily cancel health insurance policies if one becomes seriously ill, and so many more consumer protection benefits.

Point...
YOUR personal healthcare plan, whatever that currently may be, MUST adhere to these NEW rules. PERIOD! PERIOD! PERIOD!
If they do not adjust their rules to comply, then any such plan is considered non-compliant.

THAT is why their freak-out.
Their threatening to drop millions because their days of screwing the consumer is coming to an end.
And here we have the press assistance with falsely spreading their lies.
WOW... thats never happened before, ya think?

But this freak-out from this twisted and misleading news article is typical ridiculous.

Insurance companies that LIVE for profit and survive ONLY from their customers ARE NOT going to kick millions off their faulty lack-luster plans just to continue with their policy of screwing the consumer.
Why would they?
This is their business. Insurance FOR PROFIT. And they need YOU for that to function!
NEVER forget THAT!

No one will be dropped.
These non-compliant companies will turn face and fully comply.
Simply because THEY want your money $$$.
They MUST have your money.
That is what they do.
They will GLADLY comply, in the end, in order to stay $$$ alive $$$.
Be assured of that. You can take that to the bank.
NO ONE has been dropped and NO ONE will be dropped.

Sure... they will naturally toss a massive hissy fit to scare the public, in the mean time, with such THE SKY IS FALLING articles as that from this NBC news article.
And they will pay HUGE MASSIVE amounts of money to run TV commercials to mislead the public (in the mean time), and instruct their republican bought and paid for congress persons to spread their false information.

But in the end, they will comply.
Every one of them.
Why would "YOU" the consumer not want that?
Do you really prefer their current defective product that has cap limits, turn downs for pre existings, canceled coverage for new illness, no preventive care, no competition, etc etc ???

This is not exactly rocket science for "insurance for profit" to prefer with doing business the same old ways.
To keep picking and choosing who to insure, how, and when.
For many many long years now, THAT has been the insurance for profit means of operation.
The old mo.
So naturally, they want this to continue unchallenged and unchanged FOREVER MORE.

And " if " any one of the current insurance companies would prefer to go out of business, and or drop current customers just to thumb their nose as ACA reform... SO BE IT!
Because YOU do not need THEM.
THEY need YOU.

And they WILL comply with the new ACA set rules and regulations.
With that you can bet your sweet ass...
But until then, they will spread them-there lies to fool their fools.
Time is running short. They know that. And yes they are in full panic mode.
Panic mode because in order to survive and continue to make money off the customer, they MUST comply.
And that is exactly what they will do, despite the sour taste it will leave in their collective mouths.

Ignore their poker face. They hold no winning hand here.
The consumer holds the winning hand thanks to ACA reforms.
And it is about damn time that for once the consumer won a hand in their "insurance for profit" game. Or scheme, as it is.

Don't people realize what is at stake here?
Why this organized campaign of misinformation?
And why insurance for profit has freaked to the point of night sweats?
The day of screwing the consumer is about to come to an dead end.
They know that.

Is there a possibility that the insurance companies, collectively, are powerful enough to tell the government to eff off and simply refuse to adhere to mandate.

When did NBC start sleeping with Fox news? None of this can be! The president is perfect and you can trust him with your life. Obamacare is good for you. Socialism is good for our country. We need to take care of the people. People shouldn't have to do anything to be taken care of. It's our rights!!!!

lulz. Has anyone actually read this damn thing?
 
it's typical for liberals. Liberals operate and from conceit and pomposity. When they get caught up in their own deceit they lie and blame then claim ignorance. Has anybody told the obama he's president??
