Wow! You are really original.
The guy believed it when he said it. You are not capable of understanding cause and effect.
Nor, apparently, was He.
That may be true in this case. Who could have anticipated that insurance companies....poised to gain 30,000,000 new customers....would fuck with 5 million current customers and frighten them to death? And who could have anticipated that so many of those 5 million would take the insurance companies' word for what options they have? Idiots.
I suppose a cynic might have. But our POTUS is not a cynic.
Wow, you're going to blame the insurance companies for continuing to conduct business as usual? i.e. mathematically figuring what they need to charge come the next fiscal year via risk assessment of their pool and then altering costs to maintain profitability? That's what made a fair amount of those plans void.
Or should we blame the insurance companies for offering people with lower income levels and/or insurance needs bare-bones catastrophic plans? I've opted for those twice in my lifetime, and not with any hard feelings about my economic lot in life. I opted for bare bones plans in the past because my basic health needs to this point have been minimal, I just need to know I'm covered in case of something big. Apparently, though, those plans are substandard, so fuck what I want for my money. It's the insurance companies' fault for offering me that bullshit in the first place, those low prices had a brain-washing effect on my fragile middle-class psyche.
