Victor Davis Hanson in looking back at 2013 said that Obamacare might take its place alongside Sasquatch, crop circles and the Loch Ness monster as one of the great hoaxes of all time. If only Obamacare was not as pervasive, real and pernicious. Obamacare is real and America is beginning to experience what Politifact labeled as the “Lie of the Year.”
Before and during the 2012 elections, too many Americans believed the president when he said, if we liked our insurance and our doctor, we could keep them. Pre-existing conditions would be accepted, signing up would be a snap and after all was said and done, we would save $2,500 in annual premiums.
