'We All Knew' Americans Would Not Be Able to Keep Their Insurance Plans

Consmike · Nov 18, 2013

In a rapid-fire attempt to distance herself from Obamas pledge that millions could keep their plans (without further undermining the presidents tanking credibility), NY Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand let the proverbial cat out of the bag.

According to Gillibrand, we all knew (meaning Democrats) that millions of Americans would not be able to retain their preferred insurance plans, but the president just needed to be more specific (apparently saying something like, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan unless you happen to be one of tens of millions of Americans).

Appearing on ABCs This Week with Martha Raddatz, this is how Gillibrands interview went down:

RADDATZ: Do you feel misled by Obama?

GILLIBRAND: He should have just been more specific. Because the point is if youre being offered a terrible healthcare [sic] plan, that the minute you get sick, youre going to have to go into bankruptcy, those things should never be offered.

Raddatz tried in vain to get past her nonsensical response

RADDATZ: So were you misled?

GILLIBRAND: He should have just been specific. No, we all knew. The whole point of the plan is to cover things people need, like preventive care, birth control, pregnancy. How many women, the minute they get pregnant, might have risked their coverage, how many paid more because of their gender because they might get pregnant? Those are the reforms that we have to fix.

So if Senator Gillibrand wants to talk about the whole point of the Unaffordable Care Act, it wasnt sold as a way to make peoples existing insurance plans better. It was sold as a way to cover 30 million uninsured citizens (which the plan fails to do), lower healthcare spending (which it fails to do), reduce spending on insurance premiums for families by $2,500 (which it fails to do), all while allowing people to keep their preferred insurance plans and their doctors (which it fails to do).

So here we have it folks. They knew. They knew all along that Obamacare would knock people off their insurance plans. When will the hearings start and the calls for resignation? We have had enough of this crap. More people are going to die because of this than any other US tragedy that has taken place.
