‘I Had Nothing to Do With That!’ Obama Dodges Blame For Skyrocketing Premiums
 [BREITBART] President Barack ObamaI inhaled. That was the point... offers multiple excuses for why health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket, including blaming Republicans and insurance companies for the problems. He complains that too many news hounds spend more time discussing premium increases than explaining why he isn’t responsible for them. "No, I had nothing to do with that," Obama said, calling it "complicated" despite the "hysteria" that was growing. Obama traveled to Florida to argue that Obamacare ... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read... was working well, but needed to be fixed. During his speech, he pointed out that when smart phone companies released a product that had bugs in it, they fixed it. "Unless it catches fire. Then they pull it off the market," he admitted, likely referring to the disastrous exploding Samsung Galaxy S7. But the president argued that companies weren’t trying to repeal smart phones, but rather fix the problems with the modern devices rather than return to rotary dial up phones. "We’re not going to go back," Obama said, challenging Republicans who repeatedly called for an Obamacare repeal. The president argued that most people got their health care from their jobs, insisting that Obamacare didn’t even affect their premiums or health policy changes. "These are decisions made by your employers, it’s not because of Obamacare," he said. Posted by: Fred 2016-10-21 |
