Obamacare: Told You So (Continued)

Remember when Pres Obama told you this?

“We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.”

Got that?  "Period."  End of statement.  Nothing more need be said.  "No matter what you've heard." 

You didn't actually believe that, did you?  Because, according to NBC, the president didn't. 

President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became

law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.

 Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience “sticker shock.” 

Those of us who opposed Obamacare from the start warned about these obvious outcomes four years ago.  We told you the "Affordable Care Act" would force people to switch plans, and that the plans they would be forced to switch to would be more expensive.  Unaffordable, even.  As always, Obama worshipers screeched back, "racists!  Why do you hate health care?!" 

At least Pres Obama and his team weren't stupid enough to believe their own blatantly, obviously empty promises.  Obamacare supporters, on the other hand...

Pam Kehaly, president of Anthem Blue Cross in California, said she received a recent letter from a young woman complaining about a 50% rate hike related to the healthcare law.
"She said, 'I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it,'" Kehaly said.

Don't you just love "Liberals"?  They're adorable.  They're so generous with other people's money.

Fullerton resident Jennifer Harris thought she had a great deal, paying $98 a month for an individual plan throughHealth Net Inc.

Now Harris, a self-employed lawyer, must shop for replacement insurance. The cheapest plan she has found will cost her $238 a month.

 That's a 243% increase, folks!

She and her husband don't qualify for federal premium subsidies because they earn too much money, about $80,000 a year combined. 

"It doesn't seem right to make the middle class pay so much more in order to give health insurance to everybody else," said Harris, who is three months pregnant. "This increase is simply not affordable." 

Gosh, there's that word again.  Back to the 

George Schwab, 62, of North Carolina, said he was "perfectly happy" with his plan from Blue Cross Blue Shield, which also insured his wife for a $228 monthly premium. But this past September, he was surprised to receive a letter saying his policy was no longer available. The "comparable" plan the insurance company offered him carried a $1,208 monthly premium and a $5,500 deductible. 

And the best option he’s found on the exchange so far offered a 415 percent jump in premium, to $948 a month. 

"The deductible is less," he said, "But the plan doesn't meet my needs. Its unaffordable." 

There's that word again!

Even prominent "Liberals" are noticing the loss of their insurance plans the pres promised they could keep if they liked.

That's Ronald Reagan's "Liberal" activist daughter who voted for Pres Obama twice.  Now she asks questions!  She deleted her tweet, of course, but others saved it for posterity. 

Even MSNBC contributor and Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page admits that it was a lie. 

Page told Hewitt that Obama knew “there was no guarantee everybody was going to keep

their insurance because people couldn’t keep their insurance under the old system.” 

Hewitt asked, “He knew he was lying?” 

Page replied, “Probably, but that’s one of those political lies, you know.” 

Page partly defended Obama by saying that “most people” will be able to keep their insurance policies and Obama was simply being “too grandiose.” Hewitt found it striking that this wouldn’t really bother Page that much

 Correction: it doesn't bother him in the slightest.  And why should it?  He's an Obama worshiper.  One doesn't worship a politician out of reasonable consideration of the facts.
