Wow, looks like another one got Grubered.
Hum...not sure that article proved anything other than Obama was trying to keep the individual mandate from being counted as a tax increase by the CBO, nothing in the article definitively says anything about the
if you like your plan you can keep your plan except for this:
President Obama insists none of this represents the views of his administration. Asked in Australia whether he had intentionally misled the American people to get the law passed, Obama replied curtly, “No, I did not.”
Yes, he did. Put aside his now infamous lie of the year in 2013 that “if you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.” Obama also insisted repeatedly that the individual mandate “is absolutely not a tax increase.” In a 2009 interview with ABC News, George Stephanopoulos pressed him on it no less than five times. He even read Obama the definition of “tax” from Webster’s dictionary. Obama was adamant: “My critics say everything is a tax increase. . . . I absolutely reject that notion.”
So, where does that say Obama knew in advance that people would not be able to keep their plans if they liked their plans? Note also that many if not most people COULD keep their plans at least in the beginning and for some people–myself included–Obama care WAS cheaper than what I could buy as an individual before Obamacare came out. Plus, I could change insurance and still be assured I would not be denied because of a preexisting condition.
Ironically, now that the GOP is in charge of trying to kill Obamacare with their repeal and replace bullshit, Obamacare is even more popular now that at any time when Obama was president.
