The current meme for antagonism around Obamacare is to point out the falsehood behind the statement: “If you like your insurance plan/doctor, you can keep it“.

Anyone who has spent even a modicum of time following and researching this administration will note the only wording out of place was the first use of the term “you”.
The statement from President Obama would have been accurate if he had said:
..”If I like your insurance plan, you can keep it”
Where “I” is actually defined as the political ideology behind the phrase. It is the progressive ideology which defines what you can, or cannot, have. Period.
The entire premise of the ACA, or Obamacare, was government defining all the common denominators.
In essence they needed to create two impressions, one real and one false.
The false impression was the one they stated publicly. This was the one to make sure the electorate voted as they needed. The real impression is what they were doing, and what they actually did – in the architecture and construction of the new national healthcare.
It does not provide value to rise up against the false impression – it’s a snipe hunt. The uprising needs to be focused on the real action that took place. Actions speak louder than words, yet so many people fail to focus their pushback approach on the action; instead they get stuck focusing on the words.

The Obamacare website was constructed to stop people from having an early capacity to see what financial impact it was/is going to have on their family or themselves. That is why you cannot browse Healthcare.gov to shop.
They knew in the architecture of the regulation itself that millions of people would lose their health insurance policies. As Kathleen Sebelius stated before congress, even a $5 increase in any private insurance annual premium leads to ANY policy having to conform to the new regulations. This was by design. They wanted private insurance cancellations. They designed private insurance cancellations.
Section 1251 of the Affordable Care Act contains what’s called a “grandfather” provision that, in theory, allows people to keep their existing plans if they like them. But subsequent regulations from the Obama administration interpreted that provision so narrowly as to prevent most plans from gaining this protection.
“The Departments’ mid-range estimate is that 66 percent of small employer plans and 45 percent of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfather status by the end of 2013,” wrote the administration on page 34552. All in all, more than half of employer-sponsored plans will lose their “grandfather status” and get canceled. According to the Congressional Budget Office, 156 million Americans—more than half the population—was covered by employer-sponsored insurance in 2013. (link)
That’s just one of the things you identify when you focus on the action, not the words.
Another example is the reason why businesses were given a one year delay on the mandate (tax). That action simply provides a year incentive for businesses to keep people on their current healthcare plan. It was a political decision. Once that year is up, it becomes cheaper for most large businesses to dump the insurance policy liability and pay the mandate (tax). This too is by design.
Roughly 16 million people currently on the individual market are losing their coverage between now and January 1st. The rest will lose their private coverage soon (within a year or two) as the insurance companies look at increases in premium which exceed the $5 regulatory limit.
The future of private employer provided insurance is also soon to end for the reasons noted above – it’s just cheaper, by design, to drop it. Union waivers will remain until their organizational structure determine it’s also more sustainable to dump their unfunded pension and healthcare benefit liabilities.
These “real impression” realities are why you are seeing the White House threaten both employers and insurance companies to stay quiet.

You might ask what leverage they have to carry out on *threats.
Indeed, many people forget what Cass Sustein was doing for the first three years he was Regulatory Czar. Within the takeover of healthcare, the insurance company is now subject to government regulation.
Remember, under Obamacare’s regulations any health insurance provider must spend 80% of premium incomes on healthcare expenditures. They are only allowed 20% for operational overhead, transportation, energy, administration, payroll, advertising, and *gasp* stock holder profit.
This profit regulation also applies beyond the insurance carrier to providers of healthcare itself, hospitals and doctors. So what do you think will be the outcome of that regulation? Yep, as New York is currently finding out – Doctors and Hospitals will opt out.
This will become what I will call Stage Four of the National Outrage.
√ Stage One – The “tax-payers” can’t identify their cost until it’s too late (Oct/Nov 2013).
√ Stage Two – The “tax-payers” lose their current coverage and cannot replace with anything except Obamacare coverage (2013/2014).
√ Stage Three – The “tax-payers” find out they’re going to pay more, much more, for less freedom, less choices, more mandates they’ll never use because of the regulations no-one was paying attention to.
Stage Four – The “tax-payers” find out their doctor and/or provider is gone, opted out. Provider options become limited to non-existent.
Stage Five – The “tax-payers” realize their previous healthcare premium was considered a pre-tax deduction. (Progressives call these “tax expenditures”).
The employer paid premium, and the subsidy provided to assist in Obamacare premium coverage, are both now considered a part of taxable earnings, “wage income”.
Stage Six – The same year employees realize their W2 now shows their employer healthcare benefit as part of their taxable income. Employers will drop their employee coverage. (October 2014 notices for January 1st 2015 cancellations) ALSO (The 2015 W2 and I-1099 forms will show the movement of premium to income).
Stage Seven – The “tax-payers” are joined by the previous “non tax-payers” as the bills come due and tax returns are filed. (April 2015 and April 2016) Tax refunds are reduced substantially as revenues are needed. Folks realize their subsidy is now part of their earnings – that have a bigger tax liability.
Stage Eight – Election year 2016 ! Introduction of “Clintoncare” Hillary Clinton steps in with previous plan from 1990’s, and the nation votes on essentially a single payer plan with promises of lower taxation, et al. By that time so many people will be enrolled in the ACA “Obamacare” the selling point will be around transition to “Clintoncare” being actually easier.
Stage Nine – Medicare is rolled into Clintoncare – Nationalization complete.

*”Threats” – EXAMPLE – It always surprised me that no-one reported on the Coal Industry heavily supporting Mitt Romney in 2012…..

…..Only to see their entire industry EPA-regulated to oblivion in 2013 by a Spite House.
