Wait….. You mean Obamacare was a lie?

For some, it might be very disconcerting news to learn that internal documents from the Obama administration predicted the exact opposite of what they were publicly selling (here):
Internal administration documents reveal that up to 51% of employers may have to relinquish their current health care coverage because of ObamaCare….
Publicly however…. in speech after speech we were told things like, you won’t have to give up your existing coverage even while internal documents predicted:
…The “midrange estimate is that 66% of small employer plans and 45% of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfathered status by the end of 2013,” according to the document.
In the worst-case scenario, 69% of employers — 80% of smaller firms — would lose that status, exposing them to far more provisions under the new health law….
I’m unsure what the machinations coming will be from the White House – something along of the lines of this was only one report taken out of context – likely enough to allow true believers to sigh and continue to support this president.
Either way – this really doesn’t change much in the way of the facts pertaining to health care reform. The bill is going to be a disaster for the US & if these policies are allowed to fully mature, this will go down in history as a major mistake that the public should’ve prevented.
It wasn’t all that difficult to see what they were selling couldn’t possibly contend with reality. When people were told by their leaders that this reform would increase demand, increase regulations, and yet still decrease costs they could’ve easily spotted it for the scam it was.
Instead, the average citizen plodded along and by default told their leaders not to stop this. They told them in polls they hated it, but didn’t want it prevented. They tell them in polls today they hate it, but don’t want it repealed. They told them when few wrote – please stop this.
No – the only thing this “new” information tells us is that the government’s own reports confirmed what many independent sources were saying & this administration, cloaked in the mantle of transparency, hide this information from the public and told a completely different story about the legislation when asked.
Maybe this will move some fence sitters against Obamacare and maybe this can be used as motivation to push back some of the legislation, but the truth is we the people failed the day the law was signed.
