Over the last few days, there has been some grim amusement over one particular artifact of election-year pro-Obama media bias: the astounding PolitiFact fact checks that rated Obamas ridiculous lie about keeping your health plan half true.
As the Weekly Standard recalls, they did it twice, in 2009 and 2012.
The very text of these fact checks makes it clear, to anyone capable of reasoning beyond the third-grade level, that the correct rating would be false.
You can only pretend its half-true by ignoring Obamas emphatic, absolute promises that no one would have their insurance plan taken away he occasionally emphasized this by adding Period! to the promise and writing off the people who lose their insurance as an irrelevant statistical anomaly.
Media finally wakes up and notices that if you like your plan, you probably can't keep it | Human Events
See this is the problem.
Obama told every one you can keep your plan..PERIOD!
"If you like your doctor or health care plan, you can keep it.

According to NBC News, as far back as July 2010 the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.
So while this is a gigantic LIE to win the election by less then 3.4 million votes, THE BIGGEST LIE was used to pass ACA by just barely 7 yes votes!
But even today I listen to conservative commentators who use the biggest lie i.e. 30 to 46 million uninsured!
WHY???
Why in light that 10 million are not citizens! that leaves 36 million!

In light that 14 million all they need to do is REGISTER with Medicaid!... that leaves 22 million!

So why were 18 million people that make over $50,000 are under 34 who pay their OWN health expenses because their employers' plans were too much!

That leaves 4 million!
WHY is this BIGGEST LIE never acknowledge by even the conservative critics?
Is it just too embarrassing for any thinking person to admit ... I was wrong! There are truly on 4 million that want and need.. NOT 46 million!!!
