"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan." This was one of President Obama's key talking points when selling the Affordable Care Act, and it was never true — as many of the 14 million Americans currently covered by individually-purchased health plans are now learning.

As Kaiser Health News reports, individual market insurers are sending out rafts of cancellation notices, telling subscribers they have to change to new plans starting in 2014. Here's why:

I found this article from my Congressman's Facebook page.

The good thing about him is that he is an MD (Medical Doctor).

He should have more accurately said “If *I* like your plan, you can keep your plan”

Every last House Democrat should be voted out of office next year. Since one Congress cannot bind succeeding Congresses, this outrageous, un-American law can then be repealed. That is the only way out of this mess.

Okay, I have to say that I don’t feel ONE OUNCE of sympathy for any Obama voter who loses his/her healthcare right now. They are getting EXACTLY what they deserve and I really don’t GAF. We shouted from the rooftops what a lying piece of shite this socialist bastard (and that’s on his best day) was/is, and how this would all turn out. They unleashed this beast, so they can take their crappy, overpriced, “might as well be Mexico” healthcare and cry to someone who cares.

good grief.

millions of people are losing their insurance they’ve had for years, many with serious illnesses that need constant care and being told to go apply for Obamacare, which they can’t sign up for !

This is even worse than I thought it would be, and I thought it would be pretty bad.

I will go further. I hope every Obama supporter loses their health insurance and it causes pain to them and their families.

If the Republicans have any sense (I doubt it) they will run ads showing BHO saying “If you like your insurance you can keep it.” and others like it, alongside stories of normal people losing their insurance, or paying through the nose so others can get it ‘free’.

The Republicans do not (in general) have any sense.

However, if Ted Cruz were to start doing this, and a number of politicians were to 'clone' the activities of Ted Cruz, there would be hope for 2014 Senate elections...

"If you like your current plan, you can keep* your current plan."

*subject to the following: your current plan no longer exists because its been shut down or the govt has decided your current plan is not what you really need-

Well, I hope you feel some sympathy for us conservatives who are also losing our policies thanks to Obamacare. It’s not fun. I don’t wish harm on the ignorant. I wish for them enlightenment.

Mind if I appeal to the self-assumed “intellectuals” of the left?

It’s getting so bad it warrants a Kierkegaardesque angst of existential critique.
