President Barack Obama lied about health care

Nov 8, 2013, 8:26 PM

About 3.5 million Americans received a notice from their insurance company that their plan would be canceled by the end of the year.

This letter is the opposite of what President Barack Obama said repeatedly while pushing for the Affordable Care Act’s passage through Congress back in 2010.
He said, over and over again, “If you like your health plan, you will be able keep your health plan.”

Obviously, that’s not true.

After taking considerable heat Obama tried to backtrack saying, “Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.”

No. That’s not what you said dozens of times to the American people. Also, look at this screenshot from the White House’s website.
