"You Can Keep What You Have"

That was a lie. Take a look at this statement from a Democrat from Montana about the compromise bill of 900 Billion:

“C.B.O. has reviewed a draft of the health care reform bill we are currently negotiating,” he said. “Keep in mind the current draft does not include resolution of several key issues. Nevertheless, the report is encouraging. The current draft of the bill scores below $900 billion over 10 years, covers 95 percent of all Americans by 2015 and is fully offset.”

Excerpt over. So, in five and a half years, only 5% of Americans will be allowed to choose their health insurance. I wish I were joking you, but yes, Obama lied when he said the following:

First of all, no one is talking about a government takeover of the health care plan. As I was driving up, I saw some signs. You know, some folks -- folks were all riled up. You know, they're listening to certain radio programs or watching certain cable shows, and so somehow I guess they think we're just going to take over health care.

Excerpt over. Nope, I am actually annoyed by Limbaugh, and why you keep insulting the highest rated news network on tv I will never know, anyhow. I am actually, see first quote again, listening to the people who are writing the bill. In business when it gets over 50% in ownership, its a takeover. 95%? Its a monopoly.

So onward we go to Obama's lie:

If you like your health care plan, you will keep your plan.

Now, if you're one of 46 million Americans who don't have health care coverage, you'll finally be able to get quality, affordable coverage.

Lie over. Let me rephrase his statement for you:

If you like your healthcare plan, you will keep your plan until 2015.

Now, if your one of the 254 million American's who do have health care coverage, you'll finally be able to get government provided coverage.

Interpretation over. Lets compare Obama's statement to reality:

Obama: you will keep your plan.
Reality: covers 95 percent of all Americans by 2015

Comparison over. Verdict: guilty.

Do I need to say it again? I've been saying this for a while now. Obama keeps his message the same and people keep telling me they will keep their choice. I keep giving the facts, the reality. I may be going a little over the top by repeating it all the time but the truth should never be silenced.
