From NBCNews.com:
Obama admin. knew millions could not keep their health insurance
By Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye
President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.
Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience “sticker shock.”
So there you go. One faction of the American Media Maggot consortium has the balls to admit what is in plain sight, simply because the facts are now even too obvious to ignore and the horse is out of the barn. They were, literally, forced to admit so.
That:
OBAMA
LIES.
Buried in Obamacare regulations from July 2010 is an estimate that because of normal turnover in the individual insurance market, “40 to 67 percent” of customers will not be able to keep their policy. And because many policies will have been changed since the key date, “the percentage of individual market policies losing grandfather status in a given year exceeds the 40 to 67 percent range.”
NBC actually writes:
That means the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.
“That means the administration KNEW. . .”
But let me repeat:
OBAMA LIES. And how can you, thence, believe ANYthing he says thereafter?
He is the Bernie Madoff of presidents.

MORE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR COVERAGE, THAN HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE “AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.”
I think that more and more Americans are now aware that he lied over and over again about ObamaCare. Perhaps these lies will have the desired effect on the 2014 elecstions. I hope so!
There is a president, Medicare. Just a few years ago, many health practitioners were refusing new Medicare patients. Probably somewhere in that 8′ high stack of pages that contain the ACA, there is a provision to subject any health care practitioner, who refuses to accept all aspects of the law, to a firing squad.
I can only hope, which is why I am emphasize the FACTS — certainly the American Media Maggots will not.

Good luck finding a doctor that will TAKE medicare… Mine won’t (and hasn’t for the last 4 years), he’s also retiring next month, so I’m having to shift to another doctor in the practice (now down to 3 from 6 last year)… Sigh… At least I’m covered under Tricare for now.
You’ll be the luckiest of us all.
This will become Obama’s Legacy: the Train Wreck that occurred when one vain and inglorious man destroyed a once-fine national healthcare system.

Those of us who have figured out Obama didn’t need Obamacare to know he lies. He is the most successful con man to have ever lived in this country and we are all going to suffer because of those who believed his lies.
HG, that is true, but I hammer it out because, in a reproduceable media, we have immured his LIES and can refer to them at will.

Impeach this imposter Barry Soetero. He made up this Barak Hussein Obama name, never registered it.
We all know he has NO real birth Cert. Never had one.
We know his college grades were phoney made up. We all know the Saudi Arabians have paid his bills and is cloaking his recors.
I am sure our own NSA knows all this anyway.
So, just vote, write, and do what you can do to get rid of this black Mussolini!!
Even the Libbers and Media are getting wise to the SOB… This ACA is going to be the death of Obama, if it doesn’t kill us 1st..
I think, Fred, something may actually begin to land on Mr Obama’s Teflon skin. . .
BZ
Is the media and libbers REALLY getting wise to the SOB, Fred or are they starting to make the move to support Hilary? Personally I think the disenchantment is more a paving the way for another Clinton to be in the office……..call me paranoid. It begins.
Scotty, I don’t think it’s a paving of the way, but Hillary will certainly take advantage of it. I have a beautiful graphic coming up for that in a bit.
