As Nancy said, we needed to pass the thing to find out what’s in it – now we’re doing just that. Remember that endlessly repeated promise from the President that we’d be able to keep our health care plan if we like it? Well, turns out not to be the case:
Over and over in the health care debate, President Barack Obama said people who like their current coverage would be able to keep it.
But an early draft of an administration regulation estimates that many employers will be forced to make changes to their health plans under the new law. In just three years, a majority of workers—51 percent—will be in plans subject to new federal requirements, according to the draft….
Liberal spinmeisters are trying to cast this as a good thing – hey, you’re just going to get a better plan! Trust us, the new government regulations will make everything better for you. No one with any sense will believe that – and, most importantly, we were repeatedly promised that if we liked what we’ve got, we’d keep it. Yet another Obama lie.
Now, it was a lie when he spoke it and, furthermore, all of us on the right side knew it was a lie. Obama might as well have promised that his health care reform would cure depression and acne – it would have just been two more lies to place on the pile of lies used the unsuccessful attempt to sell the bill to the public (in the end, of course, it was muscled through, public be darned).
No truth being told. No enemy being thwarted. No friend being helped. No jobs being made. This is Obamunism – a complete failure on every level.
