What does it matter what he 'promised'? The language was not in the bill. The bill was voted on as it was...without the 'promise'. The democratic legislators would have passed ACA...'promise' or no 'promise'.
Barack SIGNED the bill without the promise means that he is a LIAR. He could have vetoed it until the original talking points were included.
I keep reading posts making excuses and justifications for every Obama screw up. Either these people are being paid to post or are clueless lemmings. Either way, it all adds up to zero credibility.
Individual policy holders will, for the most part, receive better coverage that is more affordable, thanks to subsidies. There is no chance the policy can be cancelled due to pre-existing conditions, which can often be the case with current health plans.
And the lame left checks in. I doesn't matter that Obama lied. MTAtech, my "EXCELLENT" policy was terminated but I do NOT qualify for a subsidy. My options are much more expensive.
My current policy:
Monthly Payments: $478.25
Deductible: $2500 deduct
Out of pocket max: $2000
Co-Insurance (Co-Pay): 90/10

I knew he was FOS back when he was running for president in 2008. I think I must have been called a racist over 100 times from all the kool-aid drinkers because I did not believe this man. And I remember the lines "you can keep your health plan" being parroted back from the kool aid drinkers. It's funny, sad and a bit scary how these people just are so mesmerized with Obama.

I really hate to say it but I believed it, my wife's insurance was cancelled and her new policy costs $173.00 a month more. But I have to look at the bright side, at 63 years of age she now has maternity benefits.
We have not paid the premium as of yet hoping something will happen to either fix this mess or maybe we will all wake up from this bad dream and no policies will be cancelled and Obamacare will just go away.
63 years old and now you are forced to pay for maternity care lol, you now get to pay for these types of people.
I'm still waiting for Jay Carney to come up with an excuse for what Obama promised. It's going to be a little tougher than the usual 'he was taken out of context'. This is going to require some brainstorming.
Democrats were out in force trying to justify millions losing their insurance with millions who didn't have insurance now have insurance.
The doers of this country losing their insurance justified because the entitlement class getting insurance. Once again punishing success just like Obama did with raising taxes.

You all sound like political novices.
We are not talking about electing a student body president who promises free ice cream on Fridays or a new salad bar for the cafeteria. Students will vote for the person who promises the most knowing that they have no control over such things. The job is just "honorary" had has no real power.Barack made concrete statements of fact. He should be held accountable for signing any bill that did meet that bar. The legislation should be recinded immediately before it ruins the country further.
Obama and his administration has know for 3 years that millions would lose their insurance. Now the administration is attacking NBC for reporting the facts.
It is now being reported that up to 80% could lose their insurance. The administration is putting out talking points blaming it on the insurance companies.
