President Obama tried a new tack Wednesday as he fought back against criticism of his Obamacare claims.
Fact-checkers and journalists have ruled that Obama wasn't being truthful when he claimed that people who liked their insurance could keep it.
(Please note - That means he LIED!)
Obama during a speech in Boston sought to cast the issue Wednesday as trying to weed out "bad apple insurers" who don't provide enough coverage.
(Please
note - Obama is lying when he uses "bad insurers" -
people are being dropped who have premiums of over $1k per month
with GREAT insurance and now their premiums are
doubling! This means he is lying when he
is trying to avoid his own words!)
"One of the things health reform was designed to do was to help not only the uninsured but also the under-insured," Obama said. "And there are a number of Americans, fewer than 5 percent of Americans, who've got cut-rate plans that don't offer real financial protection in the event of a serious illness or an accident.
"Remember, before the Affordable Care Act, these bad apple insurers had free rein every single year to limit the care that you received or used minor pre-existing conditions to jack up your premiums or bill you into bankruptcy."
Obama also said that he is responsible for fixing the HealthCare.gov Web site -- even as Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said earlier in the day that Obama isn't responsible for the botched Obamacare exchanges rollout.
"Right now, the Web site is too slow, too many people have gotten stuck, and I am not happy about it," Obama said at a speech in Boston promoting the similar Massachusetts health-care law.
Obama added: "So there's no excuse for it, and I take full responsibility for making sure it gets fixed ASAP."
The administration has set a late November deadline for fixing the Web site.
At a hearing earlier Wednesday, Sebelius said she and her department were responsible for the rollout's failings, not
Obama.
"No, sir," Sebelius said when asked directly whether Obama is responsible. "We are responsible for the rollout."

Unions Got a Grandfather Exemption As A Gift
Investors
Business Daily, June 2010
ObamaCare appears to have one grandfathered standard for labor unions and another standard for everyone else.
Unions that had a health plan under a collective bargaining agreement by March 23, 2010, can switch insurers as long as the collective bargaining deal is in effect and not forfeit the grandfathered exemptions from many ObamaCare provisions.
But anyone else — large business, small business, individual — who switches carriers loses their grandfathered status.
