HHS Admits You Might Not Be Able to Keep Your Doctor Under Obamacare … But Obama Promised We Could, Guess What, He Lied!

Barack Obama, the Liar in Chief: Remember when President Barack Obama made the promise to the American people that under Obamacare they could keep their own doctors? Guess what, here is a shock, HE LIED!

Remember when Barack Obama made the following promises to the American people when it came to Obamacare: “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor PERIOD! If you like your health care plan you will be able to keep your healthcare plan PERIOD! No one will take it away, no matter what!” Not so fast. This is the lie that Obama and his Democrat minions pushed to “We the People” and then passed the Obamacare law without one single Republican vote in the Senate or House. They knew they could not guarantee this promise at the time and said it anyhow to humor an apathetic public. Obamacare is a complete nightmare and is falling apart in front of our very eyes as it implodes upon the lies that it was built on.

 From The Weekly Standard:

As Obamacare was being pushed through Congress in 2010, the Obama administration and its allies were unequivocal in two claims: If you like your doctor and you like your current health care plan, you can keep them both.  HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius and then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi backed the president fully in this regard. The White House even went so far as to post a “Health Insurance Reform Reality Check” on its website, where “Linda Douglass of the White House Office of Health Reform debunks the myth that reform will force you out of your current insurance plan or force you to change doctors.”  President Obama upped the ante, putting the promise in the form of a “guarantee”:

THE PRESIDENT: Here is a guarantee that I’ve made. If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance. If you’ve got a doctor that you like, you will be able to keep your doctor. Nobody is trying to change what works in the system. We are trying to change what doesn’t work in the system.

While there has been sniping back and forth between the administration and its detractors about the real-world application and implementation of Obamacare, the new Healthcare.gov website has taken some of the mystery out of the controversy.  And President Obama and his administration do not fare well in this latest “reality check.”  Among the questions that HHS recently added to the website: “Can I keep my own doctor?“:

“Depending on the plan you choose in the Marketplace, you may be able to keep your current doctor.”  The bottom line is that Obamacare guarantees neither. Doctors may be only available through certain networks, just as in the current system.  And only plans that existed in their current form on March 23, 2010, are even eligible to be “kept.” The vast majority of plans will be new, subject to a raft of new regulations, requirements, and restrictions.

So what happened to Obama’s promise that we could keep our doctor and healthcare if we wanted to? Remember this Obama lie as well when he stated that your insurance premiums would go down by 3000% and your employer would be able to give you a raise? Down? If Obama’s lips are moving, you know he is lying. Insurance premiums have skyrocketed because of Obamacare.
