Christie: President Didn't Tell Truth on Obamacare
Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday blasted President Barack Obama for not telling Americans "the truth" about how his signature healthcare law would affect their existing insurance plans.
Although CBS News reported that 800,000 New Jersey residents lost their current plans as a result of Obamacare, Christie said he didn't regret opting not to set up a state-run exchange where people could buy insurance under the law.
"It wouldn't have made any difference, in fact, because you can see all the problems with this," Christie said in an interview on CBS This Morning, according to a transcript published by Real Clear Politics.
"What the federal government wanted us to do in the states was to take on this burden ourselves without telling us how much it would cost or what authority we would have to actually run our exchanges. That's why myself and 33 other governors, both Republican and Democrat, said no to a state-run exchange.
"The real problem is that people weren't told the truth," Christie said.
