If it’s a fact then why is he supposedly apologizing for saying it?
Via CNS News:
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said it’s “absolutely a fact” that people who like their insurance plans can keep them, as President Obama promised – if that plan “met the standards” set by Obamacare, that is.
CNSNews.com said to Boxer on Thursday: “After President Obama signed the ACA he said that if you like your health care plan you will keep it. No one can take that away from you.”
“I think everyone knows he said that,” Boxer said. She spoke shortly before Obama announced that he would let insurance companies renew policies for existing customers in the individual market through 2014, even if those policies don’t meet the law’s requirements.
“But is it true or false?” CNSNews.com asked.
“Oh, it’s absolutely a fact that if you had a plan that you wanted to keep, that met the standards, you could keep it,” Boxer said “If it was a junk plan and didn’t meet the standards, you couldn’t, but he’s about to fix it now.”
