And the Obama administration knew the truth... in 2010... from Forbes...
If you read the Affordable Care Act when it was passed, you knew that it was dishonest for President Obama to claim that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” as he did—and continues to do—on countless occasions. And we now know that the administration knew this all along. It turns out that in an obscure report buried in a June 2010 edition of the Federal Register, administration officials predicted massive disruption of the private insurance market.
Jay Carney attempted to minimize the disruption issue, arguing that it only affected people who buy insurance on their own. “That’s the universe we’re talking about, 5 percent of the population,”
“The Departments’ mid-range estimate is that 66 percent of small employer plans and 45 percent of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfather status by the end of 2013,” wrote the administration on page 34,552 of the Register. All in all, more than half of employer-sponsored plans will lose their “grandfather status” and become illegal. According to the Congressional Budget Office, 156 million Americans—more than half the population—was covered by employer-sponsored insurance in 2013.
I want to see one lefty explain this? Even Lady Jazzer if she can keep on subject and off of the Tea Party rant for one minute. How about Brandon? He seems to be a lock-step progressive. Can he answer why over half the country will not be able to keep their policies if they like their policies. Maybe Archer can chime in (only if Lady Jazzer chimes in first).
Is any liberal going to explain this for the knuckle-dragging tea baggers?
Wonder why they extended the employer mandate for 1 year? They didn't want this info coming out any sooner than it had to before the 2014 elections.
And I haven't even gotten to the part where doctors and private health organizations are not going to keep excepting all these new policies. That's the next ball of turd that's going to hit the fan.
(Where is the $2,500 savings to each family? I must be missing something)
Accepting or Excepting?
Lose or Loose? Walter, channeling VL today?
And despite the delay for the employer changes, the general public will be figuring it out before November 2014. LJ is predicting that the House could go back to the Dems in 2014. I think Obama could take worse losses in both the House and Senate than in 2010. And it won't be a radicalized grass root TEA Party doing it, it will be middle Americans losing their healthcare.
One third of Americans getting screwed.

They don't have a case.
Their only possible retort would be to say that the Obama administration knows all these policies are junk and scams and ripoffs... and the government knows best. I'm finding out first hand and hope enough Americans are as pissed off as I am and vote these assholes out office.
Even the lying Democrats who now say they really didn't want the ACA just to keep their jobs.... they need to go!
And if liberals think it's not going to happen, just look at the Colorado recalls which most Dems never thought would happen. (at least not the brain dead drones on MSNBC)
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

In spite of all the lies to the contrary the tea party is not radical. It is middle America. That is why the dems and the pubs hate and fear it. It is a threat to the political class. No amount of lies or gallons of koolaid will change that.

But it's so much easier for the archers and LJ's of the world to recycle images of a few nuts who only represent themselves. It's too bad the biggest roadblock to real change are the lifer republicans who fear losing their jobs. Dems are going to be hurt by Obamacare so maybe some of the republican cowards will feel safe to do the right thing as public opinion starts to line up with tea party ideas of holding on to more liberty.

Most Americans are moderates and when they think a party goes too far, they strip it of power.
Can Team Obama convince both the press and the public that ACA is better than the former system?

I'm sure you can feed a certain breed of sheep a steaming turd and convince them it tastes like sirloin... but for everybody else, hell no.

No wait... not being able to keep your insurance, having higher deductibles and higher premiums and not seeing a $2,500 decrease in your health insurance policies is all right... because the Democrats are the party of the family...
