We all remember Obama saying if you like your insurance you can keep it but now 16 million people are losing their insurance because of Obamacare. So Obama that turned out to be a lie. The left is worried about people without insurance yet their legislation caused people to lose their insurance.

The administration's boasts that Obamacare will save money yet how much was wasted so far on a website that isn't working, how much to fix it.

They also don't mention is that lower preiums include double or triple the deductible of their old plans. The bottom line is that consumers are going to spend more out of pocket cash on health care than before.
And that ain't "reform" either.

I guess Joe Wilson, from South Carolina, was right.

Just because you may be allowed to keep your insurance, doesn't mean insurance has to keep you.

Insurance premiums are going up because people with pre existing conditions can't be denied. The Republican plan had this same component.

I get a real laugh out of RWNJ's crying about how some American's are losing their Employer Paid Health Insurance! Just ask your self WHO DECIDED TO TAKEN THIS BENEFIT FROM THEIR EMPLOYEES?

Give yourself a cookie if you answered it was your employer and the tiny group of people who benefit from squeezing as much money out of the business to put in their own pockets. This makes perfect sense to them after all they don't have to pay for healthcare for the workers they employ in India, Mexico or China! Also if an American worker gets sick and thus no longer meats performance expectations just terminate him or jer and get another or even better just send the job overseans! After all wealthy Americans don't care if the earnings and profits they pocket come from here or there. Its a wonderful world we have made.

Not really relevant when it comes down to Obama's promise. He did make many insurance plans illegal/discontinued.

If you like your insurance you can keep it - 16 million LOSE INSURANCE


Hey, the line worked. Enough people DIDN'T call their congressmen to tell them not to pass it, that it got shoved through at midnight the day before Christmas.

Mission accomplished.

As for the 16 million who were lied to and have now lost their insurance....

... as another Obama administration official said, "You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs."

Just because you assume Obama meant people not losing their insurance under any circumstance doesn't make it so.... Making mountains of ant hills.
