The Obamacare pig needs a lot more than lipstick

Galen Institute; The administration’s audacious blame game  "The White House is trying to shift responsibility to health insurance companies for forcing people out of their existing health plans, but the companies are required to discontinue these plans to comply with the president’s health law.

"The administration is trying to deflect Americans’ rightful anger over losing the health plans they were promised they could keep, but the strategy of shifting blame flies in the face of the facts." ...

 

No Such Thing as a Free Lunch   "Obamacare came about because people were willing to make slight changes to the health-care system because of concerns over the uninsured. Only 44 percent of the respondents were satisfied with the “overall quality of the American health care system,” but this was out of concern for what they thought was happening to others, not their own health care." 

Time to use the f-word about Obamacare  The word is "fraud." It is now clear that the American people and their representatives in Congress were lied to, in order to obtain passage of Obamacare. When someone is induced to undertake an action based on false representations, that constitutes fraud. Investor's Business Daily  lays out the calculation that motivated the fraud."

Obamacare Didn’t Cancel Your Plans. He blames it on insurance companies and threatens them if they speak out

Be very afraid of this man.

 

 

Obama and Sebelius: Obamacare Didn’t Cancel Your Plans  "But President Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius are now denying this.

"Yesterday, they both came out publicly to tell America that it’s not Obamacare that’s causing you to receive a cancellation notice—it’s your insurance company.
"Obama called insurance plans that are getting canceled “substandard” and said people could actually keep those plans if insurers still offered them (which they can’t under the President’s health care law). He said those plans are getting canceled only if “insurers decided to downgrade or cancel these substandard plans” (which they must under the law)."
