Obama’s lie is not glossed over and he acknowledged it and did apologize exactly 5 years ago- “I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,” he told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
Obama passed HealthCare “reform” by lying not about more then a single component.
Rather he lied about the entirety of the Bill.
Lie 1: He claimed pre-existing conditions were not covered.
That is patently false, as I wrote above. Even before the ACA as long as one could prove continuous coverage the provider could not deny them coverage.
That in fact is what happened to me.
I had switched health plans shortly before I got sick and my provider had me prove that i had continuos coverage. When I did they actually paid out over a million dollars for my care.
Lie 2: Republicans were unjustly promoting fear and lying about the bill.
They were not.
Virtually all claims from it’s opponents were proven correct.
Lie 3: The ACA will cut the costs of health care by 2400 dollars
That was proven laughable, the real costs ballooned for everybody to the point that Middle Class Americans who make to much to qualify for government programs simply cannot afford insurance at all.
Lie 4: If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
Again laughably false and the one untruth that Obama copped to once.
So Obama lied and demonized to pass a partisan bill that actually had bi-partisan opposition in the House of Representatives and made life significantly worse for millions of Americans and yet it is President Trump who the media says is a liar?
