Yes that is exactly what he said. Let us see it again:
“When I say if you have your plan and you like it, … or you have a doctor and you like your doctor, that you don’t have to change plans, what I’m saying is the government is not going to make you change plans under health reform.”
Here is what he did not say:
“However the legislation does set new minimum standards for coverage that many plans in effect today do not meet. Now if those plans are altered at all, for any reason, even if the premium changes by 2 cents, those plans will not be considered legal and by LAW must not be offered by your carrier. SO IF YOU LIKED THAT PLAN YOU WILL NOT GET IT BECAUSE YOUR CARRIER CANCELLED IT BECAUSE THIS LEGISLATION MANDATED IT.”
That is what was not said ever. Yet that is what is happening and he knew it would happen because if he would have said it, there would have been problems.
