You lie!

When those people had healthcare, they didn't have to do anything. They now do not have healthcare, so they now have to do something.

The grand poobah of the Democratic Party, Bubba himself, has weighed in on the issue. Says President Obama shouldn't have lied and should keep his word! (PARAPHRASED BIG TIME!)

Former US President Bill Clinton says President Barack Obama should find a way to let Americans keep their health coverage under Obamacare.

Insurance companies have cancelled numerous policies that do not meet the law's strict requirements, even though Mr Obama initially pledged otherwise.

Mr Clinton said his fellow Democrat should "honour" his commitment, even if it means changing the law.

So a government takeover of the insurance industry to uncancel the policies? The Big Dog still has it.

Do people have to do anything if they already have health care?

In some cases, yes.

Berzerker, you look like you need a little help there.

How awesome will the "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period." press conference in January be?

 

[DinoDoc]

Awesome: “…I was not informed directly that the website would not be working, as the way it was supposed to. Had I been informed, I wouldn’t be going out saying, ‘Boy, this is going to be great.’ You know, I’m accused of a lot of things, but I don’t think I’m stupid enough to go around saying ‘This is going to be like shopping on amazon or Travelocity’ a week before the website opens, if I thought that it wasn’t going to work” - President Obama

Obama was briefed earlier in year on health website problems

I have to admit it, the zeal of the pubbies to finally have one is kind of heartwarming. Unlike the Bush-years when it became a drag when one was paraded out at the drop of a hat.

Enjoy fellers. You've been waiting long enough

Perhaps the infamous briefing memo that W got said "Obama determined to attack America"

Lie of the Year: 'If you like your health care plan, you can keep it'

 

[JollyRoger]

Wait - I thought he said that "lie" back in 2009 or 2010.

 

[bhsup]

When is a lie a lie? When it is uttered or when it is discovered?

 

[JollyRoger]

After the initial spin that it is a lie and just before its status as a lie is debunked.

 

[Berzerker]

I'm not a Repub and I've repeatedly accused the Bush gang of lying us into war, "they lied too" is a response

Lie of the Year: 'If you like your health care plan, you can keep it'

I guess they couldn't account for people who like terrible things.

 

[peter grimes]

In all fairness it's pretty evident that they couldn't allow sub-par discriminatory plans to continue to be offered.

He shouldn't have boasted like that, and I can't imagine some of his advisors counseled against those statements.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

You will be able to keep your healthcare plan is a bigger lie than there will be Death Panels deciding over your granny's life?

Or maybe: this is the most evil plan in America like ever, when you have a history of slavery?

I mean the website was pretty bad ... but come on.

 

[peter grimes]

Different years, different lies?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Maybe the number of times he said it weighed in.
