The biggest lie was the ACA bill itself. Naming and promoting the bill as the "Affordable Care Act" was a deliberate and disgusting lie pushed by Obama and his minions. All the other lies i.e. "$2500/year savings", "like your doctor, keep your doctor" were the lies Obama needed to tell to keep the big lie moving forward. And he had no problem lying to the American people over and over and over. That is what Socialists do.The goal was obviously two fold:
First and Foremost, Obama wanted to be the President that pushed through the Holy Grail of Socialism, 'Government Controlled Healthcare'. It gives government the mechanisms to invade virtually every aspect of American life through taxes, penalties, expansions of the law, etc.
Second, it extended coverage to the poorest in America but it did so at astronomical cost, clearly a contradiction of the intent of the bill. For God's sakes, the freakin WEBSITE healthcare.gov is going to cost us one hundred times original estimates, over a billion dollars!
The side effects of the ACA are only beginning to unfold and they are all bad. This is the lie upon which Obama's legacy will be defined. History will not be kind.
