Guess Who's Lying About ObamaCare?

Earlier this week, Rick Manning, the communications director of Americans For Limited Government, wrote a piece exposing the lies of Barack Obama and his health care overhaul.  Citing the promise made by the President that no one's health plans would change if they didn't want to, it turns out the Labor Department has something else to say about it, as Mr. Manning noted:

The U.S. Department of Labor, which is charged with responsibility for overseeing the health plans that private business provides its employees across the nation, reports in an Interim Final rule that 69 percent of all health plans that cover workers will not be grandfathered into the plan as early as 2013.

Roughly translated, Mr. Manning further notes:

This simply means that up to 69 percent of the workers who have employer provided health coverage are going to be forced to change health plans and depending upon the plan, change their doctor within three years.

If you work for a small business, the Department of Labor says it will even be worse with up to 80 percent of the small business health plans going the way of the dodo.

So much for for the promises of keeping one's health plan.  The blog post then focuses on the effect of ObamaCare on a breast cancer medication approved by, but whose approval could be rescinded by, the FDA; the reason being it is very expensive.  A similar situation is also noted for a therapy said to treat late stage prostate cancer, but is also very expensive and may not be covered in Medicaid and Medicare.  So much for another of Barack Obama's promises: that cost wouldn't play a role in the decision-making process by the government.

With the growing bureaucracy coming from the government takeover of America's health care system, ALG has launched a new website to monitor and report on the new bureaucracies which are expected to be formed from this monstrosity.

This must remain a reminder of what ObamaCare truly is: a government takeover of everyone's health care, and no different than I would expect from what is already in existence in Britain and the rest of Europe.  It should also serve as a reminder that Barack Obama and his administration have repeatedly lied and will continue to lie about ObamaCare.
