In a famous speech supporting his signature achievement, Barack Obama told the world in 2009:
“Let me be exactly clear about what health care reform means to you,” Obama said at one rally in July 2009. “First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.”
That has turned out to be completely untrue.
[T]he president's promise is turning out to be false for millions of Americans who have had their health insurance policies canceled because they don't meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.According to health policy expert Bob Laszewski, roughly 16 million Americans will lose their current plans because of Obamacare...
Kaiser Health News called up a few insurers around the country and found that hundreds of thousands of Americans have already received cancellation notices. [Weekly Standard]
Now the question becomes, since people will not be covered under their own plans, with their own doctors as Barry O promised, will patients be denied medical treatment, necessary medicines or more complex elective procedures and might this result in deaths?
We tried to warn you.
