Obama didn't lie. He just never dreamed that Americans who paid for literally no health insurance coverage, would be "happy" with those kind of policies.
Speak for yourself. You must be a complete idiot if you signed on the dotted line of such a policy.

He did lie. He claimed a person could buy a policy for about the same cost as a monthly cable bill. He went on to claim that a family could be covered for about the cost of a cell phone bill. He said it. He didn't include any ifs, ands, or buts. He made as a statement of fact.
Who wants to pay for maternity coverage when they are either beyond child bearing age or incapable of producing a child? Would you buy flood insurance if you lived in the middle of the saharan desert?
Obama lied, misled and misrepresented. If it is so good why the need to do these things?
What 900K jobs lost since Republicans took over the House?
And even if the $24B in economic activity is true, (and its completely laughable that suggesting government saving money, doesnt keep money in the economy thus to be spent), thats .001 of the economy..
yeah, the horrors.... Tell me, how much money was SAVED?
2014 The year when Republicans will have to answer what happened to the Jobs,Jobs,Jobs. That they promised to create
Yeah, millions of americans should be celebrating the cancellation of their insurance policies, the skyrocketing deductibles, and the fact they get to pay more for less..
Why did their previous insurance policies get cancelled?

It might seem to be health insurance, if you don’t look too closely, and most people don’t. The premiums are surprisingly affordable. And so millions of unemployed people, service industry workers, and those taken in by fast-talking telemarketers sign up. They may think they’re insured—until they have a medical problem and find out that their coverage is as skimpy as a hospital gown.

I dont remember the argument being that americans were under insured.. Can you please quote Obama making that argument..
To those complaining about the ACA making people take coverages that they don't actually need themsleves. Here's an explanation for that.
Quote:
Because insurers pitched maternity coverage in the indivdual market only to buyers of chilbearing age, the premiums were high and they still made almost no money on them. One company internal memo reviewed by the committee stated that its loss on maternity riders came to 90% of income, a money-losing ratio," the memo said.
But that's what happens when you sell an insurance benefit to a narrowly defined market. Without the cross-subsidies inherent in a large pool of insured people, no single coverage is affordable to those who specifically need it.
That's the principle of universal coverage inherent in Obamacare, after all. Once you start segmenting the market so that only those vulnerable to a specific condition can buy coverage for that condition, the cost of that coverage soars into outer space.
I have gone with nothing, but once again, that wasnt Obamas argument. Maybe I missed it, please quote Obama saying policies many americans were using were junk and thus should be outlawed...

I was not referring to myself. Insurance companies sell insurance so poor it is a fraud. People, who were duped into buying these types of policies, don't realize this until they become ill.

“I was aware that it wasn’t a great plan, but I wasn’t concerned because I wasn’t sick,” she says. But in July 2011 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, at which point the policy’s annual limits of $1,000 a year for outpatient treatment and $2,000 for hospitalization became a huge problem.
Dont even bother pghquest. jojajn has her face so up Obama's butt it has to be brown. She defends Obama no matter what, it's creepy.
