One of the many, many lies that Obama told when he was selling ObamaCare was that if you liked your policy you would get to keep it.
Obama knew that this was a lie when he said it. ObamaCare was designed to cause people to lose their pre-existing insurance. NBC, probably the most pro-Obama administration of the three networks, has a story explaining how the hilariously named Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) mandates the loss of such policies:
Go here to read the rest. ObamaCare is all about taking away freedom. Washington will determine what all health insurance policies will cover. People no longer are able to choose a policy that meets their needs. Instead, one size fits all, with the people who purchase the policy picking up the tab in higher premiums and higher deductibles. The higher sticker shock should come as no surprise. Whenever government attempts to substitute for the marketplace prices always shoot up. The malevolent incompetents behind ObamaCare knew this would happen, and that is why implementation was delayed until 2014, two years after the 2012 election, which was the election Obama cared about. The American people are about to have a painful education in some very old realities about trusting a snake oil salesman with a good line of patter. Time to bring in the timeless observation of that American symbol of common sense, Ben Franklin: Experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other.
I suspect, like Bill Clinton, the notions of ‘truth’ and ‘falsehood’ do not register with this man in the way they do with ordinary people. He just utters whatever b.s. serves his purposes at the moment.
You got what you voted for…now everyone has to live with the results! Hope “you” are happy!
I’d really like to know why no one is trying to impeach him. When comparing him to Nixon, he seems about a billion times worse. But then again, maybe the thing he lacks is integrity. Nixon resigned, right? I am ashamed to say that I don’t know history for that part of US History.
When I posted on FB, in August, that we couldn’t keep our same plan, several Obama lovers came on to my post & posted that they love what they have, are happy with the changes & don’t care (or don’t think) that he lied. Now it’s October, and I wonder if they’ve gotten the letter or other news that what they liked isn’t allowed.
I’d really like to know why no one is trying to impeach him.
1. Nixon faced a legislature controlled by the political opposition and Obama does not.
2. Nixon violated various and sundry unwritten standards which politicians impose on each other. Read Ron Nessen on how Gerald Ford, who was pleased to tolerate creatures like Lyndon Johnson and John Kennedy, thought of Nixon. Read George Will on Nixon, ca. 1973, which one may surmise reflects what a great many Republican congressional staff though of him as well as what Will’s old boss Gordon Allott thought. Our political class has lowered its standards and Obama had gotten mulligans all his adult life.
3. Obama’s offenses likely cannot be readily formulated into discrete violations of the federal penal code. Some of Nixon’s could.
4. Nixon had to manage a war which, in the words of Nicholas von Hoffman, ‘split the ruling classes’. In so doing, he offended a critical mass of the political establishment and there was the manpower on hand (Archibald Cox, Leon Jaworski, John Sirica, Katherine Graham et al) to take him down. The media establishment is commercially quite a bit weaker and has less integrity than was the case in 1970; they are Obama’s puppy dogs. As for the legal establishment, they get more scandalous every year.
5. As Robertson Davies said, there is scant relationship between popularity on the one hand and integrity and good performance on the other. A large bloc of the population is willing to give Obama a pass as they were Bilge Clinton, for reasons one surmises are superficial.
“A large bloc of the population is willing to give Obama a pass as they were Bilge Clinton, for reasons one surmises are superficial.”
The large bloc grows each day. The hundred million that dependent on the government to provide for them outnumber full-time employed, taxpayers.
What health care plan do the Obamas have????
If he really believed in the AFCA, President Obama (with Michelle next to him and their daughters behind them) should have signed up or had the pretense of signing up in front of live cameras from every network and news service.
