Obamacare: Barack Obama admits some Americans will not be able to keep their doctors

March 14, 2014

  It is funny but I just do not remember this being part of the Obamacare deal; during a recent interview Barack Obama stated that some Americans are going to have to change their doctors once Obamacare is fully implemented. Here is what he said:

“For the average person,” Obama conceded in an interview with WebMD, “many folks who don’t have health insurance initially, they’re going to have to make some choices. And they might end up having to switch doctors, in part because they’re saving money.”

  I distinctly remember hearing him say that under his plan “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.” He stated this unequivocally, there were no ifs, ands, buts, maybes, or any other qualifier to that statement whatsoever. In fact I remember there being an exclamatory “period” at the end of that statement.

    But now that the reality is setting in and people are in fact losing their doctors in some cases he has tried to justify this by saying people will be saving money. With healthcare premiums rising even this new qualifier is a lie.

  But of course this comes from the man who gave us the “if you like your plan you can keep your plan” lie of the year so it is not surprising in the least.

 But did you notice that he said “average” people might have to change their doctors, he said nothing of the elites in this country because, of course, they will still be able to keep their doctors.

    Neither Obamalama nor his comrades in the democrat party running this fall need worry about neither the plan nor the lies. By carrying the Obamacare water as we have seen in the Jolly win in Florida the RNC strategy of not naming Obamacare as the reason for republican election wins they are, as usual, shooting themselves in the foot with Karl Rove supplying the bullets. Stupid is as stud does.

      I don’t understand why the establishment is unwilling to give the Jolly win to Obamacare opposition, you are right about them being about to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Not surprising.

    Help me out here, Steve. Folks who don’t have insurance initialy are going to be saving money by buying Obamacare? How does somebody who doesn’t pay for insurance save money by caughing up their money to buy Obamacare? And, thats why they may have to change doctors? Barry must be using some kind of new math discovered by Sheila Jackson Lee.

        I think you give bho too much credit Steve – thinking … or caring what the people think!
        Won’t that be the standard MO for FEMA camps. People won’t have to buy it, they’re already sold under it. Progressive Slavery. Only the rich and powerful get the competent Dr.s! Brings to mind the movie: Elysium.

    Hey Jim, maybe the poor can sell their Joe Kennedy/ Venezuela free oil for Obamacare bucks to pay for their healthcare. Of course they will first have to buy several dozen licenses to resell the oil. : )

    Haven’t we heard this before? He can change his mind and say whatever he wants and as usual the media will cover for him. Of course we knew we would be in for alot of crap if this ACA got up and running. Are there actually people out there that still believe him? Of course there are. When it starts dipping into peoples wallets is when we will hear the outcry of why no one did anything about this. What a mess this administration is.

        I wish I could say I was, but we live in a society of entitlement. I just pray, the enough of us see the light and rise up against it to change it.
