President Barack Obama told his enthusiastic supporters Monday night
that he never promised what video recordings show him promising at least
29 times.
The videos show Obama promising 300 million Americans that “if you
like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care
plan, period.”
But that’s not what he really said, Obama announced Monday in a
speech to about 200 Organizing for Action supporters, gathered at the
St. Regis hotel in D.C.
“What we said was you could keep it if it hasn’t changed since the
law was passed,” he told Obamacare’s political beneficiaries and
contractors.
That claim is not supported by his videotaped statements, which don’t
include any mention of his new “if it hasn’t changed” exception.
But the newly-revealed exception is justified by a higher-priority promise in Obamacare, Obama declared.
“If we had allowed these old plans [to continue]… then we would have
broken an even more important promise — making sure that Americans gain
access to health care that doesn’t leave them one illness away from
financial ruin,” he announced.
“So the bottom line is, is that we are making the insurance market
better for everybody,” he declared, prompting loud applause by
supporters eager to ignore his three years of fraudulent statements.
Obama’s higher promise is now causing the cancelation of insurance policies chosen by at least 3.5 million Americans.
The cancellations are spreading from the individual market to the
small-group market. For example, Kentucky’s Department of Insurance has
reported that 150,000 people in small-group plans — typically created
for employees of small companies — are losing their insurance.
Obama urged his supporters to counter the political effect of the
many cancellations by highlighting good-news stories, and by reassuring
people who have lost their insurance that they can buy new
Obamacare-compliant policies.
“I realize that can be scary for people if they just get some
[cancellation] notice like that… we’ve got to make sure that we’re
getting them the right information,” he said.
Comment: Teachers and most parents I know would not accept this ongoing behavior from their students or children. This is an example of a person so used to getting his way, never being criticized and unable, truly unable to face reality. AND you keep defending him-you amaze me that you are incapable of facing the truth-very, very disappointing especially for the future of the country that enabled us to live so well.
