Top Dem Admits: 'We Knew' | National Review Online
BETRAYED: Democrats now admit they knew all along that millions would lose their existing health plans
House Democratic whip Steny Hoyer conceded to reporters today that Democrats knew people would not be able to keep their current health care plans under Obamacare and expressed qualified contrition for President Obamas repeated vows to the contrary.
We knew that there would be some policies that would not qualify and therefore people would be required to get more extensive coverage, Hoyer said in response to a question from National Review Online.
BETRAYED: Democrats now admit they knew all along that millions would lose their existing health plans
he degree of betrayal found in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is finally coming to the surface... and it's intense. As a top Democrat admitted today, the Democrats knew all along that Obamacare would cause millions to lose health care coverage. Yet they continued to promote it with premeditated lies such as, "You can keep your current health plan if you like it" and "your health insurance costs will be lower than a phone bill."
"We knew that there would be some policies that would not qualify and therefore people would [lose their existing coverage]," said House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer in a NationalReview.com article.
National Review goes on to report this astonishing exchange:
Asked by another reporter how repeated statements by Obama to the contrary weren't "misleading," Hoyer said "I don't think the message was wrong. I think the message was accurate. It was not precise enough [it] should have been caveated with -- 'assuming you have a policy that in fact does do what the bill is designed to do.'"
In other words, lying to the public is not "wrong." It's accurate but not precise!
