>>Maybe you should do the same with Obama's flat-out lie.

Show me the clause in ACA that might have cost you your doctor, and I'll show you the counter-clause grandfathering your plan. I know what Obama meant, but I also get why you say otherwise. And in an age when MSM will willing perpetuate "good people on both sides" despite the actual speech only needing around 2 minutes to disprove the lie, expecting any of us or even an assigned reporter to wade through ACA to get Obama's gist is totally unrealistic. He ought to have taken more responsibility to flesh out his sound bite, just as Trump should have when accused of telling people to chug Lysol. Trump screwed that one up by saying he was being sarcastic; Obama screwed up by rising above the furore, allowing insurance companies to make opportunistic decisions they blamed on ACA.

The local example was a departed poster here who was outraged when she lost her plan and was forced to take on a more expensive one with minimum coverage she did not want. Context was that her plan was grandfathered until its conclusion- but her plan required annual renewal and the insurer refused, pointing to ACA clauses requiring new policies to meet certain minimums. Such subtleties were lost in the gargantuan ACA verbiage, unfortunately.
