More Lies: Obama’s 5% Con Job. It’s a 100% Lie, According to the White House’s Own Figures

Just when you thought President Obama’s pattern of using untruths, misinformation and outright lies couldn’t get any worse, comes documented word from the National Review that, even as President Obama was speaking to the nation last Thursday, and claiming that roughly only 5% of Americans would be affected by the recent round of health insurance cancellations cancellations, his lawyers from the Justice Department were filing administration documents in court that most employer group plans would lose their ‘grandfather status’ and their current plans before the end of 2013.

As Andrew McCarthy writing for the National Review puts it:

We now discover even more evidence of how brazen Obama’s lies have been.

The president claims he truly believed that people would be able to keep plans they liked because Obamacare provides for those plans to be “grandfathered” — exempted from termination.

This is yet another calculated deception, a willful continuation of the fraudulent scheme. The president well knew that, in implementing the “grandfathering” provision, his administration wrote regulations so narrow that tens of millions of existing plans would be eliminated.

While Obama was repeatedly assuring Americans, “If you like your health-insurance plan, you can keep your health-insurance plan,” he actually expected as many as 7 out of every 10 Americans covered by employer plans to lose their coverage. For small business, he expected at least 1 out of every 2 Americans, or as many as 4 out of every 5, to lose their coverage.
