Another Obamacare LIE

As if we have not had enough lies told to the American people from president Obama's Washington, yet another major lie has been uncovered.  Recently, the American people were told that the new Obamacare exchange in California would reduce the cost of health insurance by up to 30 %.  Now it turns out that the claim was false and that the actual numbers show that insurance for individuals will rise by 64 to 146%.  It seems that the first set of figures compared the cost for an individual with what an employee of a small business would pay.  The group rate is currently much higher, so the comparison looks better.  When one compares the current cost for an individual with a similar policy coming from the Obamacare exchange, however, this proper comparison shows that the new policy will cost about twice what the current one costs.

The entire matter is discussed in this Forbes article.

It is amazing the lengths that the government goes to to mislead America.  Remember, the new policies will be sold starting January 1 of 2014.  People who buy those policies would have learned the truth in less than six months, so why would the government bother to mislead everyone now?  There is no good reason.  In my opinion, the practice of lying to the American people is so ingrained in the Obamacrats that they just cannot help themselves.  Telling the truth seems not to be an option.
