On November 1, John Hinderaker<\/a> at Power Line<\/a> posted an article entitled, “Lies of ObamaCare<\/a>, Documented.” The article is a detailed analysis of what Americans were told and what the law actually does.<\/p>\n

Here are some highlights:<\/p>\n

In the context of announcing its rules, the administration predicted that because of their restrictiveness, many millions of Americans would lose their existing insurance coverage, whether they liked it or not. Further, it has been widely reported (as by CNN<\/a>, here<\/a>) that Republicans tried to reverse the administration\u2019s \u201cgrandfather\u201d rules so that those who liked their insurance would be allowed to keep it, but Senate Democrats<\/a> voted them down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a chart showing what was actually predicted:<\/p>\n

…Those numbers starkly contradict Obama\u2019s \u201cif you like your insurance, you can keep it\u201d assurances. But it is worth noting that the percentage of pre-Obamacare plans that would terminate within the first few years after the law was enacted isn\u2019t the main point. The administration never intended to allow any American<\/a> to keep a non-Obamacare insurance policy for any length of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Finally, it should be noted that John McCain<\/a>, now the bete noire<\/i> of some activists, weighed in powerfully against the administration\u2019s Obamacare rules. Among other things, he pointed out that they do not apply to unions. They can negotiate changes in the pre-Obamacare plans that cover their members without having them terminate. This is one of the weird features of gangster government: the administration passes terrible laws, and then excuses its friends from complying with them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

As of 2010, it was blindingly obvious\u2013was baldly stated by the Obama administration<\/a> itself\u2013that under Obamacare, far from being permitted to keep your health care coverage if you like it, most Americans\u2019 policies would speedily be terminated, and all would soon cease to exist. Given the dozens of misrepresentations by Barack Obama<\/a> and other members of his administration, and given the entirely dishonest basis on which Obamacare was rammed through the Democratic Congress<\/a> without a single Republican vote, and given that Republicans\u2019 warnings were indisputably coming true\u2013was there not a news story here? How can it be that three more years went by before our one-party media thought to mention what happened back in 2010? One can only imagine how the 2012 election might have been different if the electorate had understood that Obamacare was sold on a scaffold of lies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our current media is a danger to Americans’ freedom.<\/p>\n
