Have you ever seen one of those ads where they tell us that if they could stack up the item up it would reach to the moon and back? Well it's time to stack up the lies being told about Obamacare and see how far we can get. Another really big lies was pushed today by President Obama in his speech in Boston. Today, for the first time, we heard from Obama that the millions of insurance policies being cancelled due to Obamacare were always intended to be targeted because Obamacare was designed to get rid of "bad apple" insurance companies that did not provide enough coverage.
Think about that. This is the man who said, "if you like your insurance plan, you can keep it; period!" Apparently, he actually meant to say "if the bureaucrats in Washington like your plan, you can keep it, at least until we change our minds again and take it away, period!" Obama lied repeatedly about keeping the plans we all had. Now he is at it again.
Then there is the other "lie of the day". This is the one pushed by Kathleen Sebelius in front of Congress. Sebelius said that all the plans in existence as of the passage of Obamacare were grandfathered; only plans that were modified after the passage of the act had to be cancelled if they did not meet the terms of the law. Sebelius then blamed the insurance companies for making changes in the policies being cancelled; it's their fault not the government's according to her. Sebelius, of course, left out the critical fact that makes everything she said a lie. Obamacare requires that as of January 1, 2014, all policies issued in the USA have to include a long list of coverages and other provisions. In other words, the Obamacare law itself forced the insurance companies to change their policies to meet all the requirements in the law. First Obamacare requires the policies be changed, and then Obamacare requires that those that were changed which do not meet all of the Obamacare requirements have to be cancelled. Going back to Obama's original promise, he should have said this: "if you like the policy you have and if that policy already meets every one of the long list of new requirements we have included in Obamacare, then you can keep it, period!"
