There was zero evidence you couldn't keep your insurance plan and your doctor if you wanted.
What you think you see on the surface and what is the truth isn't the same with Obama.
When Obama made the statement, anyone that had health insurance BEFORE the ACA was approved is able to keep their insurance. The ones that are losing their junk policies are people who bought insurance AFTER the ACA was approved. Obama did not lie, like W did about WMD. The ACA will survive, the GOP will have the eat it, and we will all be the better off because of it.
What part of "period" don't you get? He didn't qualify that period meant before and after even once......even though he was well aware of it. He knowingly and willingly lied to get reelected and to get the legislation passed.
He was quite clear in the debates that only policies which were sold after the Act was passed would have to be amended to conform to the new standards.
Republicans have been looking for a "gotcha" moment and this one is the best they've had so they're gonna go with it. Especially since so many of the sad stories posted on the Internet and discussed in the conservative media have proven to be false.
Even the cancelled policy problems don't hold up well under scrutiny since so many of those whose policies have been cancelled will be able to get better coverage than they currently have at a reduced premium.
