“If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan, period,” President Barack Obama told the American Medical Association in July 2009. “No one will take it away, no matter what.”
Those promises now have tens of thousands of Alabamians, including some who supported the president’s plan, asking what went wrong.
USA Today says about 80,000 Alabamians will have their health insurance policies canceled, while the Associated Press pegs the figure at closer to 90,000.

Bold, or honest?
If CNN hasn't reported a mess why would he even ever know there was one
in all honesty it was a bit of a pun
The cancelling of policies has been going on all year, these are just the public ones. Wife’s policy was cancelled this last spring. The policy was replaced with a more costly one with less coverage, and that was to fit obmakare. My brother’s will be cancelled and he will be dropped, period. That notification came months ago.
Good!
;-)
26.5% of Alabama are "Holder's/Obama's people".
I wonder if these socialist Commies sleep well at night. There’s got to be something we can do
