“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.” — Barack Obama

We have absolutely no reason to believe anything that Obama or the Democrats have to say about the ACA. They all lie.

We have far more documented situations to prove that Obama lies than just obamacare.

Calling Obama a liar? Well, then you're a racist.


In before:

Liberal/Obama Supporter Auto Response Protocol™

1. The source isn't valid
2. That's racist
3. GOP obstruction
4. But...but...but George W. Bush
5. Haters gonna hate
6. Sour grapes- your guy lost
7. Repeat 1,2,3,4,5 and/or 6 as needed then insult the opposition for failing to support this great man, declare victory, and move on

I agree 100% with the OP and every post since then.

Now, can we work on fixing this mess? "Defunding" isn't going to cut it, neither would blanket repeal if that were even possible. The old system was flawed (and now it has been damaged by the ACA), the new system is unworkable in many ways, and we are paying 150% to 200% of what it ought to cost to provide care for everybody. So starting from where we are right now, how do we get to an improved future? Yes the president lied, and yes Ted Cruz doesn't care about you if you buy insurance in the individual market, but the other 300 million of us ought to be working on common ground.

In the conservative alternative reality you will not be able to keep the doctor you like.

In the real world you will be able to keep the doctor you like.

I think once the ACA kicks in, and people start to realize how expensive it really is, their doctors choices suck they will have to repeal it. Remember back in 1988, the catastrophic insurance for seniors was repealed when the cost was realized to be way to expensive.

Except for those who need to buy insurance in the ACA marketplaces, as your source notes. "Mostly false" mean "Partly True" (and 100% true for those who are affected.)

Obamacare sucks, and republicans attempting to defund it suck, and we'll all end up better off if we start working together on improving things. Divorce health care from employment, wipe out the extra marriage penalties in the subsidy arrangement, get a handle on costs, get some market-sensitive mechanisms in place, and get everyone some basic care. We're already paying more than enough money....it would pay to reform it from the ground up.

They labeled it mostly false because of the way private insurance companies operate, which was happening prior to Obamacare being law.

Is it that hard to read the whole thing?
