Steny Hoyer admits Democrats knew people would lose their healthcare coverage under Obamacare

 Yesterday was a bad day for the president; first the White House was forced to admit that some people would not be able to keep their healthcare coverage now that Obamacare is the law of the land, and then we learned Barack Obama has known for three years that millions of people would lose their healthcare coverage under his signature legislation.

  Of course during those three years in which Barack Obama knew the truth he continued to tell the useful idiots that they would be able to keep their plan if they liked it, purposely lying to the American people to push his radical agenda.

  And then today Steny Hoyer, when pressured by reporters, admitted that they all knew people would lose their healthcare coverage:

We knew that there would be some policies that would not qualify and therefore people would be required to get more extensive coverage

    It goes without saying that “more extensive” coverage means more expensive coverage so in addition to people losing plans that they liked they will also be paying more for the plans the federal government is forcing them to purchase. And I though this law was supposed to save people $2,500 a year?

  Steny Hoyer still defended this lie by claiming Barack Obama’s message about keeping your insurance if you like it was the truth…..to a point:

“I don’t think the message was wrong. I think the message was accurate. It was not precise enough…[it] should have been caveated with – ‘assuming you have a policy that in fact does do what the bill is designed to do.’”

  He admits the message should have been tweaked to say if you like your plan and it conforms to the new law you will be able to keep it, but of course this was not the message being disseminated to the American people. And why is that?

  Because that message would have run counter to the message the Democrats wanted the American people to hear, and if that caveat was added to the talking points the American people (who already did not like the law anyways) would have revolted and the Democrats opportunity to nationalize the healthcare system would have been lost.

  So they ran with what they knew was a lie in order to get the measure passed because the end justifies the means and they figured they could just spin their way out of this once the law was enacted and the possibility of repealing it was lost.
