SINCE 2010, OBAMA HAS KNOWN AMERICANS WON’T BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR HEALTH PLANS UNDER OBAMACARE
The Obama Administration Has Known “For At Least Three Years” That Americans Who Like Their Health Insurance Won’t Be Able To Keep Their Plans Under ObamaCare. “President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under ObamaCare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.” (Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye, “Obama Admin. Knew Millions Could Not Keep Their Health Insurance,” NBC News, 10/28/13)

According To “Sources Deeply Involved In The Affordable Care Act,” 75 To 80 Percent Of Americans Who Buy Their Insurance Individually Can Expect To Receive A Cancellation Letter. “Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a ‘cancellation’ letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience ‘sticker shock.’” (Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye, “Obama Admin.

“Buried In ObamaCare Regulations From July 2010” Is An Estimate That Found 40 To 67 Percent Of The Individual Insurance Market Will Not Be Able To Keep Their Plan.“Buried in ObamaCare regulations from July 2010 is an estimate that because of normal turnover in the individual insurance market, ‘40 to 67 percent’ of customers will not be able to keep their policy. And because many policies will have been changed since the key date, ‘the percentage of individual market policies losing grandfather status in a given year exceeds the 40 to 67 percent range.’” (Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye, “Obama Admin. Knew Millions Could Not Keep Their Health Insurance,” NBC News, 10/28/13)
- “That Means The Administration Knew That More Than 40 To 67 Percent Of Those In The Individual Market Would Not Be Able To Keep Their Plans, Even If They Liked Them.” (Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye, “Obama Admin. Knew Millions Could Not Keep Their Health Insurance,” NBC News, 10/28/13)
After ObamaCare Was Signed Into Law, The Obama Administration Drafted Rules That Disqualified Certain “Grandfathered” Health Plans. “None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be ‘grandfathered,’ meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law. But the Department of Health and Human Services then wrote regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date — the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example — the policy would not be grandfathered.” (Lisa Myers and Hannah Rappleye, “Obama Admin. Knew Millions Could Not Keep Their Health Insurance,” NBC News, 10/28/13)
Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney Admitted “It’s True” That Some Americans Will Not Be Able To Keep Their Existing Individual Insurance Plans Due To ObamaCare. JAY CARNEY: “Well, let’s just be clear. What the President said and what everybody said all along is that there are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act that create minimum standards of coverage … So it’s true that there are existing health care plans on the individual market that don’t meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act.” (White House Press Briefing, 10/28/13)
OBAMA HAS REPEATEDLY PROMISED AMERICANS THEY CAN KEEP THEIR OWN INSURANCE
Since July 2010, Obama Has Assured Americans – Over And Over – ObamaCare Would Allow Them To Keep Their Own Insurance
During The First 2012 Presidential Debate, Obama Promised ObamaCare Would Not Mean A “Government Take Over” And Would Allow You To “Keep Your Own Insurance.” BARACK OBAMA: “And let me tell you exactly what ‘ObamaCare’ did. Number one, if you’ve got health insurance it doesn’t mean a government take over. You keep your own insurance. You keep your own doctor. But it does say insurance companies can’t jerk you around.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks At Presidential Debate, Denver, CO,
