"Overpromised"? Sure, but it was for a good cause. So, the message in the LA Times piece echo's that of Dem, Rep Schakowsky, who told the congressional committee, "just get over it". http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-health-policy-cancellations-20131101,0,781858.story#axzz2jNvTO4l6 ABC pundits used words like "oversold" and "misled" to understate the lie and used basically the same spin to dismiss Obama's repeated lie by telling us how much better off those who get dropped by their insurance provider will be because now they'll be forced to purchase better policies. The LA times piece uses the same approach by saying ....Yep....even if you don't need "better, more comprehensive, more costly" insurance.. to bad...suck it up and quit whining! Sure Obama "overpromised", "oversold", "misled", but it's for your own damn good you're being forced to upgrade! GET IT! Now get in line and shut up.
Well, it ends up being for a person's own good (I can assure you without insurance the "advanced" American health care system kicks you to the curb real fast), but the societal interest in this small percentage of people who elect to carry crappy insurance policies is that the rest of us have to pay for you when your gamble on "yes I have crappy coverage but its OK because nothing will go wrong" goes bad. That Obama needed to have an asterisk warning you if you were a person who had junk health insurance that Obamacare would require it to be upgraded to GOOD insurance is some "nanny-state hand holding" government warnings that will be included next time.
The MSM, aka: Democrat cheerleaders, are growing more pathetic each day. They'll all be obsolete within 10 years, much like the democratic party. Remember the run up to the election? Romney was always said to 'flip flop' on issues. Obama was against gay marriage, then became for it. Did he flip flop? Gosh no, he 'evolved'. lol.
It smells like Obama passed gas. A lie is a lie, unless a liberal who can fast talk, using no facts or common sense at all, says it. Were you the guy who claimed to have been saved by Obamacare? Were you one of the first six people to sign up?
I don't like the doublespeak either and I'm a lefty. It bothers me that the LA Times would use words like "oversold" and "overpromised." Tell it like it is - he lied. Oh and he lied about Benghazi too. I would LOVE to see someone on the right do what I just did and criticize their own. I haven't seen it yet on here.
Please expain how Obama became the "expert" of what everyone else needs. He LIED. PERIOD. - - - Updated - - - Peter King sucks. Happy now?
Shameless elitist lefitst BS. YOU DON'T KNOW BETTER. YOU FREEEEEKIN DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT!!!!! Insurance is already regulated in EVERY STATE. This is just another unconstitutional usurpation. Screw all you thieves of liberty.
McCain is broken. You shouldn't require someone to fall on their sword because it is appropriate for you to. Republicans are not in power, and Bush had nothing to do with Obamacare.
All I'm saying is it would make for a better world if we policed our own instead of having others do it. If the left was screaming at Obama for all of his screw-ups, he would listen a lot more closely and be more apt to fix his gaffes. If the right screams at him, he'll just slough it off as partisan politics.
The LA Times is holding a video of Obama praising a PLO spokesman. They refuse to show it to the American people. That's the kind of Leftists that the LA Times has running it.
It is not the position of the government to protect me from me. I am sure you can prevent a lot of forest fires if you ban lighters. Prevent a lot of deaths if you banned motorcycles. Prevent unnecessary tragedy if you ban hot air balloons. No. You cannot lie to me, restrict my liberty, and then tell me it is for my own good.
Then you need to catch up......it happens frequently. - - - Updated - - - BAHHAHHAHAHAH ...really....????????????????????????
How the hell do you know that? Are so frikkin arrogant (like Obama) you think you know what's good for everyone else and so it's dandy to force them to comply? OHHHHH................forget it...or course you are.
