Below is a list of the Top 10 lies stated by Obama in order to pass this monstrosity. Don't forget to check the record of your favorite Democrat who is up for reelection in 2014. What did they have to say in the months leading up to the vote. I bet you can find several instances where they uttered one or more of the following:
Promise #1: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be
able to keep your health care plan, period.”[2]
Reality: Millions of Americans have lost and will lose
their coverage due to Obamacare.
Promise #2: “[T]hat means that no matter how we reform
health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your
doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period.”[6]
Reality: Many Americans might not be able to keep their
current doctor without paying extra.
Promise #3: “In an Obama administration, we’ll lower premiums
by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year.”[9]
Reality: Premiums for people purchasing coverage in the
individual market have significantly increased in a majority of states.
Promise #4: “[F]or the 85 and 90 percent of Americans who
already have health insurance, this thing’s already happened. And their only
impact is that their insurance is stronger, better and more secure than it was
before. Full stop. That’s it. They don’t have to worry about anything
else.”[12]
Reality: Obamacare imposes certain new benefit mandates
on those with employer-sponsored coverage—a majority of Americans.
Promise #5: “Under my plan, no family making less than
$250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.”[15]
Reality: Obamacare contains 18 separate tax hikes, fees,
and penalties, many of which heavily impact the middle class.
Promise #6: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to
our deficits—either now or in the future.”[18]
Reality: Obamacare’s new spending is unsustainable.
Promise #7: “[W]hatever ideas exist in terms of bending
the cost curve and starting to reduce costs for families, businesses, and
government, those elements are in this bill.”[21]
Reality: Health spending is still rising and is projected
to grow at an average rate of 5.8 percent from 2012 to 2022.[22]
Promise #8: “I will protect Medicare.”[24]
Reality: Obamacare cuts Medicare spending.
Promise #9: “I will sign a universal health care bill
into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every
American.”[27]
Reality: Millions of Americans will remain uninsured.
Promise #10: “So this law means more choice, more
competition, lower costs for millions of Americans.” [29]
Reality: Obamacare has not increased insurer competition
or consumer choice.
