Liar! Pinocchio! Deceiver!
With all the charges flying against President Obama in the on-going effort to stop ObamaCare it’s time for a reality check.
Having failed to kill the Affordable Care Act in Congress by shutting down the government the opposition is currently taking delight in charging the president with lying to the public when he said anyone who likes their current healthcare plan will be able to keep it under the new law.

Just to add some balance to the hate parade against Obama and the ACA. From Fox News no less.

Those opposed, clearly, do not respect the Document nor do they comprehend how a republic works.

I have yet to see a single post from any of the PPACA's rabid detractors--and I've been posting in a lot of PPACA threads--that even acknowledges that we have a problem with healthcare costs and coverage in this country let alone offering a single solution to fix it.
Even those who think coverage gaps don't need to be addressed should at least be cognizant of the fact that lowering the cost of healthcare is a win for all of us.
It's easy to passionately denounce any attempt at a solution when you can't even admit there's a problem to begin with.

It's only constitutional because its a tax, the only way. Besides the Supreme Court is wrong congress didn't have the power in the first place to enact this. They all know it along with 90% of all federal laws. Only if 3/4 of state legislatures enact it then it is the law of the land. It is impossible for this to happen so even the president is wrong when he says "it's the law of the land"!

I'm not a fan of PPACA for -exactly- the reasons you've laid out.
PPACA subsidizes a failed system in Nixon's HMOA.
I want PPACA to fail so that we can keep on truckin'.
This is the closest we've ever been to real change in Healthcare.
