Remember when Obama promised us in 2008 that “if you like your health care plan you can keep your health care plan”? Well it turns out you can keep it only if you are able to afford it. This was the "fine print" that Obama and Nancy Pelosi carefully omitted from their sworn promises about the affordability of their new heatlh care legislation to the American people! "Doesn’t that fly in the face of the president’s promise that “if you like your health care plan you can keep your health care plan”? ABC News asked DeParle. She said no — the president wasn’t saying the legislation would guarantee that everyone can keep his or her preferred plan, just that the legislation wouldn’t force anyone to change." Now what kind of double talk is this? ... Does Obama believe we are really that stupid? ... Leave it to the Democrats to always promise one thing and then surreptitiously do another!
Right, that is what he said. He never claimed you could keep your plan even if you can't afford it. Doh! I swear people can't understand words anymore. I don't understand are you confirming what he said was the truth?
His plan was to make sure that your plan became so expensive you wouldn't like it anymore and go with his plan. The Democrats have only one overwhelming desire regarding medical care. Universal access, and if the taxpayers won't vote for single payer and the necessary taxes to implement it, then they will force you pay for your universal healthcare yourself no matter how expensive, in the hopes that one day you'll get so sick of paying it, you'll beg them for universal health care.
I agree. But the left has gambled that it can impose its will upon us and still keep the country alive. The left guessed wrong.
The rising health insurance prices this year are just the same as last year and the year before that for a decade. Since Obamacare doesn't kick in until 2014, the only person to blame for the rise in your health insurance premiums is the health insurance companies. AGAIN! I would highly suggest not trying to sabotage, before it starts, the ONLY program that is going to help you as the insurance companies clean you out.
Bull(*)(*)(*)(*). The typical liberal false narrative of corporate greed strikes again. I'd rather the corporation clean me out than (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Government anyday. At least the corporation cares about promoting customer service and efficiency, something Government couldn't care less about. If you can't leverage the internet to find affordable health care coverage these days, you deserve to be culled from the gene pool. Are you seriously trying to tell me that 100 bucks a month/person in your family is too much to pay for quality health insurance? If so, your just a cheapo bastard as selfish and greedy as the corporations you hate so much.
Who knows anymore what he meant? In other words, the gullible fell for the words of a snake oil salesman. Hey, I didn't believe him in the first place, his supporters did....still do. How sad is that?
Here is exactly what Obama said. It sounds very clear to me. Obama also promised to bring health care costs down so we would not have to change policies. Looks like Obama was wrong on both accounts!
It's really a tax bill, and and gave the ins co's an excuse to raise rates ahead of the legislation. It was meant to trigger an outcry for govt HC. It's working too. Obama scammed us all.
You are correct, Trinnity. The liberals in this group have no common sense whatsoever! The only way the rates would come down is if our population suddenly became younger and did not require as much health care. We have an aging population, ands this fact alone will cause our rates to increase every year. Obama knows this, and he lied to us when he declared Obamacare would somehow cause our insurance premiums to somehow decrease!
You are mistaken, Margot. You cannot add millions of new people to the health care rolls and expect costs to come down when these people are not paying their fair share!
These discussions about heath care were very interesting! Obama, a complete idiot. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of61E1FesPU&feature=related"]Obama, a complete idiot. - YouTube[/ame]
What makes you think interest rates will come down? What will cause them to come down? I am dying to hear your answer!

You are very correct, Albert Di Salvo. Obama forgot to truthfully say you can keep it only if you can affort to pay for it after Obamacare kicks in!
