Remember Obama’s infamous line: “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it … and, your family’s annual healthcare costs will go down by $2,500″
==============
Biden oft repeated the line when selling ObamaCare … and, reprised it in the primaries when fending off opponents’ Medicare-for-All promises.
Last night , in the final presidential debate, Biden repeated the claim, emphasizing that no one lost their private health insurance under Obamacare.
So,what’s the rub?
============
The rub: That line was was selected by left-leaning Politifact as the “Lie of the Year”.
PolitiFact counted 37 times when he’d included no caveats, such as a high-profile speech to the American Medical Association in 2009:
“If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”
As PolitiFact observed:
It was a catchy political phrase but an impossible promise to keep.
What’s worse is that “they” knew it and kept repeating it.
Why?
Because they figured that folks would be too stupid to see through the lie.
How do I know?
Prof. Jonathan Gruber said so.
Gruiber is an MIT economist who was one of the primary architects of ObamaCare.
He was caught on video speaking quite frankly about the crafting of ObamaCare.
His basic message:
Basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or what … that was critical to getting the bill to pass …
Watch the video … it’s even more chilling to hear Prof. Gruber say the words: Obfuscate and bank on American stupidity.
Good thing that Trump brought it up in the debate, right?
