And these are the people are are getting canceled. But it would mean that ALL of them would have to get canceled in order to meet CNN's worst case scenario.

Then again, odds are many/most of these plans don't meet the minimum requirements

- Here is the perfect quote from the column. - David Oct 29, 09:52 4
  - It's a great point, but it doesn't address the mislead on "If you like your insurance, you can keep it". - ty97 Oct 29, 09:54 3
    - The column itself does. "It's a feature, not a bug." I just didn't quote that part. -- nm - David Oct 29, 10:01 1
      - Precisely. It's a feature. Which directly contradicts the President's repeated statemented that you could keep your insurance. - ty97 Oct 29, 10:04
    - Yes, this was the point of the CNN piece. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 09:56
But this flies in the face of Obama's repeated comments that if you liked your insurance, you could keep it. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:45 10
- Absolutely. Which the article mentions -- Obama and the Dems must have known this, so why keep saying it? -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 09:49 6
  - I think they assumed people with non-compliant policies weren't happy with them. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 10:08 1
    - right. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 10:10
  - Becuase they are inept. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:51 3
    - I don't but that here. They weren't ignorant about what would happen. - ty97 Oct 29, 09:53 2
      - I was giving the benefit of the doubt between incompetence and lying. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 10:00 1
        
        In politics, always go with the lying. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 10:05
- I think he was banking on the ire being directed at the insurance companies. -- nm - nubby Oct 29, 09:47 2
  - If so, that's another mistake he's made - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:51
  - he definitely banked wrong then -- nm - Jovian Oct 29, 09:50
