Default Pres. Administration Intentionally Lied

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.

nothing new. they've been saying since he first made the claim that it wasn't necessarily true-especially if you're under employer offered insurance.

Saddest story I've heard so far is a 42 year old woman who had a hysterectomy in her 20's battling cancer getting cancelled because her present policy excluded maternity care. Her policy was pretty steep almost $400 a month (maybe because of cancer) but now will jump to almost $750/month.

This same woman put herself through law school while working three jobs and now has a salary above $100K making her unqualified for any subsidies.

Meanwhile the woman who works one job at McDonald's, too lazy to finish even high school needs maternity care so screw the lawyer. She's lucky someone built the road she travelled on to law school and her three jobs.

Obama care will be so bad that Democrats will want it gone eventually.

Will never happen. We're screwed. Just like Social Security - this mess isn't going anywhere. It will become more and more expensive and you'll receive less and less - but permanency it already has.

Thanks Democrats. Another stellar achievement.

Obamacare was designed to fail. It is a necessary rung on the ladder to single-payer, socialized medicine (Medicare for all). We will go from Obamacare, the last stand for health insurance companies, to a public option, where insurance companies bail out en masse, to the kind of universal coverage that just about every other western country provides its citizens. I won't live long enough to see it, but my children and grandchildren will.

the kind of universal coverage that SUCKS will be provided. In other words, equal access to virtually nothing.

this is one of the reasons why they have the individual mandate. health insurers don't want to bail, don't wish to go out of business. it's a huge moneymaker, and there's a reason why health insurance providers stock immediately shot upwards when the scotus ruled that the aca wasn't unconstitutional.

we should have universal coverage-it's one of several glaring flaws in this country, and an embarrassment that other countries do a better job at providing health care than we do.

but hey, how 'bout that stealth destroyer. cool, isn't it?

When I was in my 20's, as a thin, healthy, nonsmoker, I had to pay $300 a month for my health insurance and I was making barely $30,000 a year. Forgive me if I am not weeping for a woman earning over $100K having to pay a lower percentage of her salary towards health care than I did.

Nice straw man, or rather, straw woman, you built out of thin air there at the end. My new dog is barking from that whistle.

I was talking about Shaniqua Davis. She's from the Bronx NY, works at McDonald's, never more than 40 hours, is on welfare, with a one year old child and an unemployed boyfriend who barely can afford taxi rides or her cable TV.

She's no straw woman she's Shaniqua Davis.

my son is 25 and a smoker, his didn't cost nearly that much-less than $100/month.

BTW Who is 'they'? Republicans, FOX? Because the President certainly never said that and to the contrary repeated the lie, over and over.

A new poll just came out and it shows that President Obama's approval rating has now reached an all-time low.
