Obama: "I Am Sorry" Americans Will Lose Their Existing Health Plan Because Of Obamacare

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Remember all those YouTube clips (the same medium used to nearly justify World War III) that caught the president lying again and again with promises and assurances everyone would be able to keep their existing insurance plan under Obamacare even though he knew full they wouldn't, until a week ago, thanks to what is left of the non-brownnosing media, as much was revealed to the general public? Well, it's time to come clean, and once again via clip. Moments ago, in an interview with NBC, the charming and very photogenic president said he was "sorry."

"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," Obama told NBC News in an exclusive interview at the White House. "We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this."

Surely a good start to make sure "they know they are heard" is for nobody to lose their job over this fiasco, even those who claim full responsibility for the "debacle."

As for apologies, perhaps it would be more prudent to wait until 2014 when the true costs of this latest welfare Ponzi scheme are revealed for all to see and experience: then it will be a daily tirade of non-stop apologies. So let's just chalk today down to a general rehearsal.

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

There, there, Obama. All is forgiven. Just please tell Mr. Chairwoman to keep pushing that Nasdaq to its old time highs. Because who knows - without the daily distraction from the economic collapse this country finds itself in, an apology just may no longer be sufficient...

The worst ones are the cars with Obama stickers right next to the peace sticker or a Coexist sticker or an End This War! sticker.

I work in a college town with an over-abundance of those stickers on cars. What I've found most amazing is how I encounter them. Usually, it's when they're cutting me off in traffic.

I guess it never occurred to them that coexistence (and tolerance) is a two-way street.

Private insurance loves OCare.  People have to buy their shit or go to jail.  Well you don't go to jail yet, that will be lie 7 when the law is changed to give the IRS full range in enforcing the penalties for not having insurance.

The portability of this plan, or lack thereof, might be the 800 lb. gorilla in the room.

Let's say I go visit my brother that lives in another state, like Arizona and I need medical attention. And my plan was set up in another state, like Nevada. What then. Will the medical charges be covered?

The same problem could occur in the same state. Say I got covered in Northern Calif, went surfing in Santa Barbara and broke my leg. What then?

Is there some procedure set up if I need medical attention outside of my regular network? Does the new plan cover something like this? And if not who pays.

The guy looks like a donkey. Oh you meant photogenic for the Old MacDonald holiday calendar.

Because of Obamacare I received a letter saying my insurance company owes me money for premiums paid that didn't go towards medical care. That was months ago and I still haven't seen a check. Its supposed to be almost $600.

Considering between me and my employer have paid over $150k in premiums over the past eight years and I've used about $5k in actual payments for sick care, that $600 is the least owed to me.

How about I get $40k back. My money didn't go to pay for me. I'm sure a few ghetto mamas had babies on my dime though.

Words of wisdom from Steve Martin:

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?" First.. get a million dollars. Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?"

Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!" How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"? Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal."

Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?"

Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!"

I'm going to be a dick here, but Obama didn't lie to anyone. You could keep your plan if you wanted to and it would be grandfathered. The insurance companies between then and now switched these people's plans. They're not getting grandfathered.

BUT what should piss people off is that the reason health insurance companies did this was to force people onto Obamacare so they could take their tax credits. It was specifically designed this way. Everything about this fucking law has been written by the health insurance industry along with these greedy little shits in the administration and agencies. Katherine Sibelius is a two-bit shyster pol looking to strike it rich. You're sorry? Throw her under the bus and ban her from lobbying.

Obama is bad; you’re worse. Because with this greatest of all presidential lies ranking with the lies that took us to world wars, the only position Americans can take now is to get rid of these people - from Obama to his lying crew.

And the facts are not as you state. The fact is, they lied to pass Communism into the United States. Is that big enough for you? The Democrats led by Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and the Establishment Republicans led by Mitch McConnell and John Boehner own this, top to bottom.

Whatever. Go fuck yourself.

You're worse. You don't see that Obama is an empty fucking suit. He's a lightening rod for criticism to divert attention away from the real crimes.

Who gives a fuck if he lied or not? The law, if you can call it that, is the real crime. So getting rid obama or Pelosi or Reid or any other politician is meaningless. They're front men. They're perfectly comfortable with "owning this" because they can do as they damn well please.

This just in: a politician lied. Apologizes for people noticing. Nothing ensues.

Your points are exactly right. My emphasis, however, would classify this lie as considerably more significant than the constant stream of misrepresentations and lies we get from the political class.

This lie, if allowed to stand, will destroy the United States’ economic system. And even though Obama works for others, he was the messenger that carried this catastrophe - as the President of the United States of America. Perhaps as much as any development in the history of our country, this one could lead to revolution.

Thanks for responding, Catullus. I agree with your points.

Ok. Truce.

I think that every one of these scandals erodes people's trust just a little further. Or maybe the marginal person living under a rock has the light go off in their head.

What's a shame, and this happened during the Bush Atrocity II, is that those with an axe to grind gain some sort of political capital being flamboyantly indignant over totally meaningless things. Even Clinton had the hyperventilating indignants huffing that he lied about Lewinski. Benghazi was the same way. OMG they lied about something meaningless. Yet the CIA was running guns to rebels to overthrow the Libyan government, only to have a deal go bad and have the US ambassador (hundreds of miles from the actual US embassy and in rebel controlled territory) slaughtered and raped and had his half-alive body dragged through the streets on video.

Never not once did I hear anyone say Obama was just like Bush when he was running for POTUS, Never not once while the MSM was preaching Hope and Chaznge did I hear them say that he was a lying POS just like Bush. 

But now that only a fucking moron would now realize that he is and has always been a lying POS do we hear "all of them are this way".

FUck you. He was sold to the masses as a different kind of person who would "rise above" and lead us to hopey changey land. When even a modest inquiry into his acual life and his connections in Chicago showed he was a scumbag. But anyone who pointed out his Chicago style criminal and unethical history was called a racist.

Good luck with impeachment when both political parties have in place ironclad protection for incumbents already hooked up with the major contributors (lobbyists).

This week responding to criticism that Establishment Republicans were declaring war on the Tea Party, the executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Rob Collins, said:

We have a very specific rule: We are built to bring back incumbents and that’s a very important rule and everyone knows that rule.”

He should have said, “We have a very specific rule: We are built to serve the lobbyists.”

All Obama has to do is to issue  an Executive Order telling the insurance companies to keep issuing the plans people like and grant a waiver to Obamacare regulations. But he chooses not to.

Typical old style car salesman's bait and swich. Offer a stripped down car at a cheap price. Then tell the person that tis car is no longer available, but you can get a much better car with more features (which, incidentally, you did not want) for a much higher price.

The only problem is that this does not describe Obamacare:

 Obamacare - Pay More, Expect Less.

Anybody who believes that Obama is "sorry" for lying to the American people is a fool, and such people ought to review Harry Truman's comments on Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon:

"...a shifty-eyed goddamn liar...talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides..."

..."a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in."

Truman's comments on Nixon apply equally well to Barack Obama.

This was supossed to bend the cost curve down and rather its bending it up significantly

 

and when we go to single payer- the costs wil remain hogh since we wil be giving everybody the same all inclusive coverage.

 

of course the govt wil nationalize health care so doctors wil be working at minimum wages and then the only question is wil Congress and WH still be on their own policies rather than Obamacare

We are done, cooked.

sacrifice is not in the vocab of congress which is why we go broke.

+1 however.  I have over twenty years of experience with handloading ammunition so I know exactly what I am talking about.  A hollow point bullet is not more lethal than any other bullet.  In fact, a hollow point can not pentrate anything very well.  What a hollow point will do upon impact is to explode into fragments.  It is a nasty bullet and is meant to hurt and not kill quickly.  The Nosler ballistic tips and Hornady SST's do the same thing.  You have to ask yourself, what am I going to use this bullet for? 

I have shot a deer with the Nosler ballistic tip boatail.  A few years back, I shot a deer in the lungs but found pieces of shrapnel in it's guts when dressing it out.  I did not like that and recall that I was wondering what to do with those bullets.  When you are on a deer stand you have some time to think and the best idea I came up with for these bullets is to shoot a fascist in the thigh.  A shot to the thigh would be a lethal hit because you could not stop the bleeding in time. 

Body armor?LOL  If you are shot in the thigh with a bullet that fragments what are you are going to do about it?  You will die is what will happen.     

Fri, 11/08/2013 - 03:51 | 4134310 Kelley

Dum dum bullets are more lethal due to increased blood loss by increasing the chances of hitting an artery. The loss of blood incapacitates the person, and then they die. A shot anywhere on the person can cause incapacitation and death.

Incapacitating someone is almost as effective as killing them instantly. In fact, the wound could cause their partners to also stop shooting while they tend to the wounded party.
