The millions of health coverage cancellation notices that have gone out in recent weeks have thoroughly debunked President Obama's pledge that if Americans like their health care coverage, they can keep it. The president, along with the many other Democrats who made the same promise, is now paying a political price for his words.

But the keep-your-coverage promise was just part of the Obamacare sales job. Obama, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and top Democrats made all sorts of claims in their effort to convince a skeptical public to accept a complicated, far-reaching national health care scheme.

This is a pretty early claim, when payday is on Election Day. I would call it not a political price but a temporary setback for the Democrats. What does the low information voter think about this series of events, and what will he or she do on voting day?

Wait for it. I'm sure that it will be in the 7th or 8th 'fix' for this monstrosity. Probably paid in full as a signup bonus.

The real damage was done in the way they funded it, then Dingy Harry refused to have a budget so it could not be addressed. Those Commies play for keeps, and we just try to reach across the aisle.
