IF YOU LIKE YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO KEEP IT…WELL, NOT EXACTLY…
Much like when Barry told us all that if he was elected many of us would not see our taxes go up, not by one dime, the same apparently now holds true when it comes to our being able to hold on to our health insurance, under Obamacare, if we like it. Because, as it turned out, our taxes did go up, and by more than a dime, and we’re also now finding out that more than 7 million of us will likely lose our healthcare coverage that we like, because of Obamacare.
Sources recently told NBC that 50 to 75 percent of people who buy health plans individually can now expect to receive a cancellation letter within the next year. And according to NBC, Barry "Almighty" knew that this was going to happen, even as he busily went about promising just the opposite, because of an estimate buried within the regulations from 2010 that "40 to 67 percent" of customers will lose their healthcare policies. What a guy!
And there’s a very good chance that this figure may go even higher because, as NBC reported, many other plans were not "grandfathered" in by the administration under the new healthcare law. And health plans ‘must’ contain basic benefits such as preventive care because of Obamacare. Policies that do not meet these new Barry mandated minimum standards will simply not be permitted starting next year unless they existed in their current form in 2010.
With these revelations now coming to light, Barry and his sleazy little team have finally been forced into acknowledging that, yes, some people will being seeing their health policies getting canceled as a result, but they claim that replacement coverage will contain richer benefits and more protections. And people with lower incomes will also qualify for tax credits under the new healthcare law in order to help make their new plans more affordable.
"There are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act to create minimum standards of coverage, minimum services that every insurance plan has to provide," White House Spokesmoron, Jay Carney said Monday. "So it's true that there are existing healthcare plans on the individual market that don't meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act." So Barry now dictates to you what your minimum standards can be.
The White House also noted that because of what it called ‘normal turnover’ in the insurance market, between 40 and 67 percent of customers would already not be able to keep their policies. It was also claimed that this revelation was really nothing new and that it had absolutely nothing to do with Obamacare. And, laughably, it was also claimed by the White House that that’s another problem that Obamacare will actually solve. Sure it will!
Republicans, and rightfully so, seized on it as evidence that Barry purposely misled Americans when he said, "if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan" in 2009. "One of the most important promises made by President Obama … was that Americans who were satisfied with their health plans could keep them," said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in a statement. "That promise has been broken." Just one on a long list of many!
Look, I think it should be fairly obvious that this outright seizure of our healthcare system by the Democrats has been built on nothing more than one lie after another lie, on top of yet another lie. I mean, seriously folks, not one thing that has been said about it has been, in any way, true. It will not lower costs, it will not provide greater choice, and folks will not be able to keep their current plan. This entire scam was about nothing more than control.
