OBAMA: Many promises, all lies

In 2009 President Obama said, “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan. Period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”

That statement turned out to be a lie. Period. On Thursday last, he told an audience in Largo, Md., that the Affordable Care Act had not hurt jobs. Another lie. More than 300 companies across the land have either eliminated jobs or reduced full-time employees to part-time jobs. Hospitals across the country are firing staff and reducing work hours.

President Obama also promised we would be able to keep our doctor, another lie. He also stated that Obamacare would make health care affordable, another whopper. He just can’t help himself, everything he says about Obamacare or Affordable Health Care is an absolute lie. Hundreds of doctors are either shuttering their practice or shedding patients.

The increased cost imposed by the Affordable Health Care rules, along with decreasing reimbursements, is creating a financial burden that is unsustainable for most doctors that have a solo practice. Lie after lie President Obama maintains his vigil to deceive the American public. The liar should be impeached immediately, he is a definite hazard to our health and well-being.
