What difference, at this point, does it make? obama knew from Nov 2010 that individual health insurance plans would be cancelled and yet he continuously said "if you like your plan you can keep your plan. Period". He didn't say "if you like your group plan you can keep your group plan; 17 million who have individual plans will likely have yours cancelled". He didn't say "if you like your plan you can keep your plan UNLESS ...". Hell, he didn't even say "if you like your plan you can keep your plan unless the newly re-written grand-father regulations prohibit that, please make sure to find out if this pertains to you. For information on this please go here."
He knew millions would lose their plans and yet he went out and lied about it by saying "if you like your plan you can keep your plan. Period."
I think you are trying to sell the Republican desperate propaganda that blames Obama on insurance business decisions.
What we're the regulations that eliminated the grandfathering choice?
Try reading what I posted, above. They pandered to business group coverage and nailed individual coverage for those same changes.
You don't think at all. Why do you refuse to comment on the obvious? Regardless of what the regulations were/were changed to .... the fact is that obama paraded around and continuously, repeatedly, matter-of-factly stated that "if you like your plan you can keep your plan. Period". He put no conditions on his statement, did he? You have dodged this over and over and over in this thread and constantly try to shift the fact that obama lied onto the insurance companies. You are wrong. And no one is blaming obama for decisions that businesses make ... we're blaming obama for lying to people when he said they could keep their plans.
If the case was "you can keep your plan if you like your plan UNLESS your provider blah, blah, blah" he should have stated such. He. Did. Not. and he knew for three years that millions would get the shaft. He lied. Keep dancing around it.
What we're the regulations that eliminated the grandfathering of existing policies?
