Transforming America!!!!!!! Like I said, either they are lying, or the obumbler is an incompetent buffoon. Which one do you pick as most likely? We are witnessing the destruction of one of the finest healthcare systems in the world, along with what used to be a thriving economy. It's like watching a loved one die. |

Transforming America!!!!!!! Like I said, either they are lying, or the obumbler is an incompetent buffoon. Which one do you pick as most likely? We are witnessing the destruction of one of the finest healthcare systems in the world, along with what used to be a thriving economy. It's like watching a loved one die. My opinion is that he is incompetent and lies to cover his ass. How can he not know about fast and furious, benghazi, the nsa, the irs, the ap, and now his very own obamacare muck up? Is that just a cardboard cutout that we see? Now it appears that indeed, the admin knew as early as 2010 that his famous words "If you like your healthcare plan you can keep your healthcare plan. Period." were lies. Back then they were estimating that at least 10 million would have their insurance cancelled. Today the estimate is much higher. You are so correct hiroad, it is like watching a loved one die. I am sad that the America that I enjoyed is becoming extinct. |

Obama admin. knew millions could not keep their health insurance
By Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye NBC News (Note: This is NBC News!!!!!) 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. Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience “sticker shock.” None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be “grandfathered,” meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law. But the Department of Health and Human Services then wrote regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date -- the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example -- the policy would not be grandfathered.
Buried in Obamacare regulations from July 2010 is an 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. And because many policies will have been changed since the key date, “the percentage of individual market policies losing grandfather status in a given year exceeds the 40 to 67 percent range.”
That means the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.
Yet President Obama, who had promised in 2009, “if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan,” was still saying in 2012, “If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.” |
