No he didn't because the [color=limegreen]fact is that people have handed that choice over to their employer. If they hadn't then they would indeed have the choice. The only one to blame is the person who gave up their freedom to choose in exchange for a paycheck.
That's the whole point of the OP. Employers dropping their private insurance thus forcing employees onto obamacare.
If this isn't the case then the OP is wrong.
I'm not clear on exactly HOW employees have
"handed over" the insurance "choice" to employers ?????
if a collective bargaining contract exists, then I see the choice.
Absence of a contract makes the "choice" solely in the hands of the companies.
yes/no
otherwise, most people have relied on the government and clearly,
Obama's statements would influence worker's opinions.

want to fix the healthcare system you have to elect someone who sees the problem
Even former chair of the DNC now admits that at least 30% of small businesses will drop their own coverage plans for employees, which would force those employees into the government run health insurance exchanges.

how does anyone fix anything first step recognizing theres a problem and there is a huge problem with the sheer size and scope and power and influence of this government.
to even begin to effect that change you need someone who sees that and who beleives that and who doesnt bow down to polticial peer pressure.

YES but many employers use healthcare as a reason to pay employees less, Ive been in Management for 10 years and have seen the employer side, they use it as an incentive, its part of the cost of paying your employees.
Many people start jobs because they have benefits, even if the pay is not what it should be.
the goal of obamacare?
the total and complete destruction of the healthcare system in this country why?
because private healthcare coverage is and will always be far better off that medicare and medicaid
so what nefarious purpose is the end goal here?
to make the government the only game in town why
complete and total control

Another way of stating it is it's a step towards nationalizing the healthcare system. In other words, another step to replace the free market system with socialism.
