As Obamacare Takes On Water, The Electorate Wakes Up To Its Horrors
Chicago Tribune ^ | October 31, 2013 | by Grace-Marie Turner

The Obama administration is clearly in full-defense mode over the rolling disaster of ObamaCare, and it is making every effort to deflect criticism to others.

In fact, it is the administration's fault. The health law says you can keep your health insurance policy only if it is "grandfathered" and you have kept the same plan with virtually no changes since March 23, 2010, when ObamaCare was enacted.

These latest White House deflections will not hold. ObamaCare is taking on water, and people now are finding out for themselves why this law is so very wrong for America.

There’s been lots of spinning about this. The liberals are spinning like tops, aren’t they? How many people believe the spin coming out of Obama and his henchmen/lackeys????

You could keep your policy if you like it, means that you can keep it as long as your insurer still offers that policy.

You could keep your policy means that it was grandfathered in, unless the insurance carrier makes any changes to the policy, then it’s cancelled and you are on your own.

And now they are saying that these policies being cancelled are lousy policies, and you are so much better off with Obamacare, that you should go online and shop for a better policy. You will get a better deal.

The president was truthful, but, he should have given a more nuanced specific statement about whether you could keep your policy if you were happy with it.

Does anyone with an IQ over 50 actually believe the shovel ready pile of horse blank that the liberals have been shoveling out on this subject????

I see Obamacare with a heavy subsidy in the future for Grace-Marie Turner and her Editor based on the going rate of the newly unemployed.

My wife's and I insurance went up and I know several people who lost theirs and without fail, they blame this administration. That's why you're seeing intensified efforts by the Dems to blame everybody else.

This is going to get very ugly for the Dems.

Could not read the whole piece on line.
But the picture shows her with her hand raised, looks as though she did testify under oath!

lies under oath == perjury == impeachable offense

well she admitted she is responsible and the administration has already thrown her under the bus;

let the impeachments begin

“There’s been lots of spinning about this. “

If they can spin it like this now, they could have explained it like that then. They did not explain it because they knew people would not accept that version of keeping it if you like it. They purposefully LIED.

The spin is not taking.

To the best of my knowledge every single aspect of The Affordable Health Care for America Act has been a lie and was passed by legislative sleight of hand.

Can anyone point out anything about it that is the truth?

Perhaps that new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can do something about it!

The only people buying that line of lies, and repeating them, are democrats...

and liberals are liberals primarily so that they can feel superior to others...

and they can’t see the disconnect?

I wonder how the Daily Kos crowd is taking this. After all, they are also seeing their premiums increase and policies being cancelled, assuming they had policies in the first place.

I was not aware of this time factor:

'The health law says you can keep your health insurance policy only if it is "grandfathered" and you have kept the same plan with virtually no changes since March 23, 2010, when ObamaCare was enacted.'

That was/is a time bomb or IED hidden in Pelosi's tyranny posing as a health plan.
