Clinton to Obama: Keep ObamaCare promise, let Americans 'keep what they got'
FoxNews.com ^ | 11/12/2013

Bill Clinton, in an unusually blunt critique of the sitting president, said President Obama should live up to his promise to Americans that if they like their health plans, they can keep them.

The former president weighed in on the roiling controversy about health plan cancellations during an interview with the site Ozy.com. The current president recently apologized to the public for the millions of cancellation notices that are going out -- despite him assuring Americans that, under ObamaCare, they could keep their coverage if they want.

For Clinton, the apology doesn't cut it.

"So I personally believe, even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got," Clinton said.

One reason the apology didn’t carry any weight is because it was a typical Obama nonapology-apology. A true apology involves honesty about your behavior, an acceptance of responsibility, and remorse. Obie missed on all three.

I would expect it to end up an additional cost to the taxpayers for having the Insurance companies reinstate this coverage.
Or are the Insurance companies expected to do this at previous premium prices?-Tom

Ol' slick willy, putting the knife in and then twisting it.

I'm loving it, an admitted perjurer, an Impeached pResident, an accused rapist and a known philanderer, taking the halfrican, communist, mooselimb, prick to task for lying.

This is only going to get better, wait until they ax carville about what willie said.

klintoon is still a very big deal with the demonRATs, and since slick has taken a shot across the bow of obama, look out for the incoming.

If Americans could ‘keep what they got’ - NO ONE would WANT the Obamacare BS, there would be NO MONEY for the ACA and health care freebies for everyone ELSE!!!

No compromise. Let every American choose the level of his or her coverage. NO restrictions saying that you have to be grandfathered in to received what your neighbor cannot.

Yep. The beast will run on a platform of Zerocare reform and cite what a piece of crap the existing program is.

This is a country of laws, not men. It means that, thought Obama may have pushed the law to becoming the law of the land, it IS the law of the land. He is not king. He can’t decide what parts to enforce and effectively rewrite it on the fly.

The law is what it is. We have ways of changing laws. We had a way to get rid of prohibition. We can get rid of this. But like prohibition, it has to affect enough people to get the political backing to change. That will take a while. Maybe even over a month.

Obamacare could not even begin to fake like it would work, either, without the low risk people subsidizing the high risk people.

Yep. The libtards have certainly changed their vile tune against those opposing 0Care, with this charge from BillyJeff. They don’t know how to comment, now!

Every time that pussball shows her face she needs to be asked about Benghazi or at least hear chants behind her.
