Majority of Workers "Will Be Forced" To Change Health Plans

The Centerpiece Of The Obama Health Care Sales Job Is Proven False After Months Of Promises That “If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep Your Plan”

RHETORIC: “Obama, Reid & Pelosi Are Not Talking About You Being Forced To Have To Change Your Plans”
PRESIDENT OBAMA: If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep Your Plan. (President Obama, Remarks On Health Care, 3/3/10)

PRESIDENT OBAMA: “I Have Been As Clear As I Can Be. Under The Reform I've Proposed, If You Like Your Doctor, You Keep Your Doctor. If You Like Your Health Care Plan, You Keep Your Health Care Plan. These Folks Need To Stop Scaring Everybody. You Know? … Nobody -- Nobody Is Talking About You Forcing To Have To Change Your Plans. … And If You've Got Health Insurance, We're Not Going To Ask You To Change It.” (President Obama, Town Hall Meeting, Raleigh, NC, 7/29/09)

REALITY: “Majority Of Workers … Will Be Forced To Make Changes To Their Health Plans Under The New Law”
AP: “Over And Over In The Health Care Debate, President Barack Obama Said People Who Like Their Current Coverage Would Be Able To Keep It. But An Early Draft Of An Administration Regulation Estimates That Many Employers Will Be Forced To Make Changes To Their Health Plans Under The New Law. In Just Three Years, A Majority Of Workers — 51% — Will Be In Plans Subject To New Federal Requirements, According To The Draft.” (“Health Overhaul To Force Changes In Employer Plans,” AP, 6/11/10)
