Obama sorry he lied
So, after lying about the impact of health care reform on millions of Americans who lost their coverage, and then lying some more about blaming "bad apple insurance companies" for the cancellations, he now says he's sorry for all of it.

I actually might consider believing him, if it weren't for the fact that they knew as far back as 2010 that all of this was going to happen. So, I'll simply do what I'm sure most Americans will do and chalk up his "sorry" to more disingenuousness.

Depends on the lens you're using to view his comments, Mike.
Of course, I have a different take on what he said. In the end, your party did everything they could to torpedo the ACA and can hardly be held blameless or ingenious.

It's still the insurance companies and employers who are, for the most part, choosing to drop employees.
I'm sorry it's happening too. But, I have yet to cancel a single policy.
As Bob said, "Depends on the lens you're using....".
When a friend tells you his mother died and you reply "Sorry to hear that.".........does that mean you killed her?

Good to see some of these states cracking down on the vultures at Humana and Blue Cross.

imagine both parties being separate towns in a rural state with one highway separated by 100 miles of desert.
One has a liquor store, dirt bite track, and a honky tonk. That is the Republican town.
The other town has a liquor store, dirt bike track, honky tonk and a friggin hospital.
that is the Democratic town.
i know what town has my back.

Bull Chit dave... Even WAPO sees through this line of chit.
"Blaming the insurance companies can only go so far. First of all, the administration wrote the rules that set the conditions under which plans lose their grandfathered status. But more important, the law has an effective date so far in the past that it virtually guaranteed that the vast majority of people currently in the individual market would end up with a notice saying they needed to buy insurance on the Obamacare exchanges.
The administration’s effort to pin the blame on insurance companies is a classic case of misdirection. Between 75 and 95 percent of the problem stems from the effective date, but the White House chooses to keep the focus elsewhere."

I really don't care anyways, to be perfectly honest.
If it gets us one step closer to killing the system we have, I'm good with it.
The employer sponsored system can't die fast enough, to my mind.
