Gone is yesterday’s equivocating defense on the millions of distributed insurance cancellations currently shattering the great ObamaCare myth that was “If you like your plan, you can keep it.” After Valerie Jarrett‘s… er… “creative” contribution to the discussion last night, Carney was much more prepared for the question at today’s White House briefing with a more shrewdly crafted offensive strategy — because as we’re all well aware by now, unintentional concessions (don’t even think about apologies, not gonna’ happen) rarely last long in this administration before giving way to well-rehearsed, righteously indignant spin-doctoring. (Be sure to check out Sebelius’s planned testimony for the House committee investigating the ObamaCare website’s ample failures this week for more delightful developments on that front.)
Today, even the White House agrees that the issue “deserves fuller explanation,” and the nutshell version of that explanation amounts to this: Basically, this entire mess is insurance companies’ fault because of the regular turnover in the individual insurance market, and for ever having dared to offer the less-than-fully comprehensive plans envisioned by ObamaCare or ever having limited their acceptance of pre-existing conditions in that market.
No, everyone does not know that insurers have to comply
This point needs to get put way out front
Insurance is NOT everyone’s best friend. Third party payer started this mess but many decades ago driving up cost promoting a sick care system and not a health care system.
People will be happy to despise them, way to their own detriment, not realizing obamacare is a very destructive controlling system just put in taking advantage of a bad system
The point about insurance companies Fox News people were just shaking their heads about
When will anyone start informing people about all of this?
No, everyone is not putting this together anymore than they are not seeing that Hillary got canned for flopping at state like she flops at everything but shell be a great presidential candidate
I hope the big shots at Blue Cross and others are listening to Obama throw them under the bus. Serves them right for not fighting against something so dumb in concept. It would be helpful if they started talking, and letting everyone know exactly how few people are enrolling and how impossible this whole thing is to keep alive. Every day they wait to overhaul the entire thing costs everyone a lot of money.
Yup. Dead on right!
By including , and then mandating , by law ,coverage of non-essential medical services , and increasing the "donut-hole" expenses, the price of insurance increased .
Previously , all insurance was based upon state regulations , and you couldn't go outside your state for a lower fee.
An incidental issue is that individual states required TRAINING and LICENSEING of health insurance sales personell, bonding and CERTIFICATION of competancy ,
OBummerCare requires you attend a 20 hour online video training , with NO TEST for COMPETANCY , nor is a background check done ..
Now the Fed , overstepping state boundaries , DEMANDS insurance coverage of medical issues which will increase the price of local coverage.
I am male , don't need a PAP smear , mammogram ,nor birth control or abortion coverage , nor a pelvic exam , and have no pre-existing condition other than
freaking Conservative OUTRAGE as to how the expenses of this Obomination insurance adds needlessly to my expenses and is a TAX .
This TAX , prior to government demand and control, rose at the rate of 9 % per year ; now , due to governemnt demanded coverage , I can expect a 300 % increase within one year...
and that is just in the FIRST year of inception (!!) .
The FED may not have to define and submit a budget in four years ,.. but I have to budget my income, unlike the FED , and live within my means !
But there is a problem.
The Democrats gave us this fustercluck.
WHO THE HELL -- EVEN AMONG LIBERALS -- WOULD TRUST THE DEMOCRATS TO ENACT AN EVEN *BIGGER* SYSTEM??!??!?
Sarah, see the above.
“Liberalism” is the name of the mental illness.
The ACA LAW makes insurers cancel peoples pre-existing plan and policies— because they do not require coverage for maternity, contraception and a raft of other items most people do not want or need, nor should they have to pay for others to get them.
This is quite a mouthful for Carney to deliver. The companies, in order to follow a DEMOCRAT/obamaumao written law, HAVE to cancel peoples policies, offer them the mandatory alternative which costs much much more. Obamaomao lied.
The FIRST thing that Obama says in a speech is ALWAYS a Lie.
The SECOND thing that Obama says in a speech is to accuse a Republican of thinking some evil thing that Obama has already done.

Blaming the insurance companies for this is like promising to lower the unemployment rate and then blaming employers when it rises.
Barak the Blamer is never at fault.
Dems want a single payer..most of them are supporters of the single payer system..that is why you seem them blaming the insurance companies for this, they need an excuse..make people upset..get the media to be the puppets and blame the insurance companies..enough sheep will buy into it just like they buy into everything else the media tells them..and the rest is history, a single payer system
I would love to take the 0bamacare plan and throw it in the faces of the human refuse that crammed this atrocity down our throats.
Those f’in insurance companies - what we really need is a single payer system with the government in charge - that’ll fix ‘em.......
Yes a mell of a hess. One year ago hurricane Sandy was the mess maker.now a real mess.
President Obama himself said that the Cadillac plans should be ended. HE was personally against some plans “that people could keep if they wanted”.
He also is on tape during the election saying that it may take 20 years to get to single payer but that is his goal.
THROW BOTH ON TAPE QUOTES BACK IN HIS FACE.
Nope. The argument is going to collapse into a “meaning of the word is” arguments rather than unequivocally PROVING that President Obama lied to the public (by direct lie and through lies of omission).
Silly-bus
I could name a couple,, Boehner and McCain for starters.
It was a plain bald-faced lie and he knew it at the time.
You are correct of course, the goal was always single payer
