We have heard much criticism from the insurance industry, and from many Republicans, especially strongly conservative ones, describing the president’s “deliberate” deception in telling health care insurance buyers that they would not lose their current insurance policies, if they did not want to.
But many taxpayers have been complaining bitterly that they did, indeed, lose their policies.
We have also heard, before Oct. 1, many dire warnings that Obamacare would not ever work, from the very same folks.
Putting these two facts together, is it inconceivable to imagine that insurance companies have been especially deliberate in canceling current policies, as bluntly as possible, in order be able to make the president appear deceitful? I really don’t think that is much of a stretch. Do you?
Could it be that health insurance companies are afraid of a new system that will force them to work a bit harder and more fairly to provide their customers with adequate services? I don’t think that’s much of a stretch, either. Do you?
