now if there's one thing they %uh President Obama he said you could
keep you insurance but now it turns out couldn't care less
debut it does I think a keep your jurors how do I know cuz i watch television
where at least share Jackson our producer watches television and you put
this to you
it's for a long time the president's advisers were seen
okay sure just say if you like your plan you can keep your planner should we add
some caveats
my next guest says that she was perfectly happy with her insurance plan
but now it is gone this is like the president saying read my lips no new
taxes chip or bush 41
of 43 saying mission accomplished did you believe the president when he said
if you like your planner gonna be able to keep it
I did I absolutely believe cam you really didn't want that insurance policy
%uh the president misspoke would make some things at once the actors that
hundreds of times I A over the last four years
eat you have no alternative and the government to tell you that you don't
have the option
acted to keep what you've got him saying you if you like you play can keep your
plan
is something he's not going to be able to shake this whole problem they've been
facing our in terms of credibility
about the president saying over and over again three years ago when he sold
this law he basically said you know if you like your plan you get to keep it
I was promised and you know that I could keep my coverage
and he flat out lied I and I don't appreciate that why should people not be
upset if they like the insurance policy they had their lot of people who did
like what they had and now they're being forced into other policies
the president said that wouldn't happen a stage four cancer
a survivor I and has just lost his plan
he likes and I had people all across Kentucky come up to me last week and say
I had great insurance too much better than the president says I should out and
I've got either pay a tax or step down %uh
my he lied he said I could keep my old crappy insurance attorneys i cant
the given me a better one this is like mission accomplished all over you
remember when bush lied about iraq
and then we spent over a trillion dollars and over a hundred thousand
civilians died in Iraq
and over 5,000 of our guys in total well well more than that wounded and died
okay to almost 1000 guys that have died from our side lololol
all it's just as bad just back is that ok I got game insurance
that's better and remember I was told I can keep it
in this for the individual market by the way it only applies to the individual or
not if you get it through your employer
and eighty-three percent the people in the individual market get a new plan
every year anyway so now in this case 75 percent amor getting a bye week that's
less
he that's where all right now to be fair
sometimes for some people
yes you get new plan yes it's definitely better in that it covers more things
but it costs a little more okay now for most people that's not the case
because you get subsidies your family four you make a thing about ninety four
thousand dollars you need a subsidy
it 94,000 below if you make above ninety four thousand dollars you mind I get
that subsidy
an you might pay a little more for better coverage rate
so now for small that doesn't seem like that about a trade off
but second well look at my one complaint about
the Affordable Care I did it was a very significant one is the one that's
playing out
was that there's no cost control there was no public option
nothing like that so then the insurance can come in and say hey you know what
I'm a jack up the prices yes for a lot of middle class people and for
poor Americans you get a subsidy et cetera right
but for some people that costs continue to rise
so that part is a legitimate criticism okay and we were worried about it from
day one right here on this show
but for a great majority the people you normally go a new plan every year
anyway this thing covers more and for most people
it doesn't cost any more okay so being real about it
Gillispie honest about it whereas if you turn on TV seems like every spares
eyeball
I know all too well lol they could do by Blair
by black youth and suck governs things why didn't do it that way
so in fact is a perfect example that
Dianne Barrett was a CBS this morning and she was just so upset that her
plan so was now
you know gone and she had to get a new plan seles hear from her
56-year-old I am correct last month she received a letter from blue cross blue
shield
informing her as in January 2014 she would lose her current plan
Paret pays fifty four dollars a month the new plan she's being offered would
run
591 dollars a month ten times more than what she currently pays
what I have right now is what I'm happy with and
I just wanna know why 88-key but I have
went away have to be forced into something else
she has such a great plan why are they doing this to her
now are you ready for the facts for so all CBS
throws in a little caveat there let's hear that that according to health card
I got diane is eligible for some subsidies but she told us
she has no idea at what the subsidies would be cuz the course gets what she
can't log on to the website
so well turns out she might be
able to get some some cities which she didn't really look into it now for turn
out that there's some issues with the website's
also cover reporters they look into Tommy Christopher did a great job
in writing about this for said media and he found another one the current policy
she had
was as they point out about 50 bucks a month it's what's called
a junk health insurance it covers
almost nothing it's capped at
the amount that they can give you back its 50 bucks
so you give them 50 bucks in your own any issues they give you 50 bucks back
while I can't believe she can have that health insurers anymore
it's basically FAQ insurance that they give you
to make yourself feel a little better but if you actually running issues not
covered
okay so the job thing concept and he's a reporter with the new republic
any site but let me look into this for her okay
so he did it turns out that when you go in and actually look
at that health up market exchanges
well it turns out they should get one that costs a hundred dollars a month
okay
well thats almost twice as much as which is paying
a but you know what it would protect her from bankruptcy something role play and
didn't you
if you watched a hundred fifty dollars a month now again that's more
okay let's prepare about that and our coverage will be significantly more
comprehensive
so now whether we think that's a good idea or not
is not important what's important is what is Diane a Barrett think about that
so well chuck on called her up and gave adoptions and explain this is what you
get
for this is what you get for that now what do you think she now says quote
I would jump at it with my age things can happen
I don't have bills that could make me bankrupt I don't wanna lose my house
so that big Oklahoma caring sector some
on CBS I couldn't go to third
tears as she finds Asia junkie sure she's getting it really shows aces per
day begins bankruptcy
and she says she would literally jump at one more call from her
she said maybe it's a blessing in disguise
and AE you're right about that except for the fact that it's not really in the
skies
so only in disguise if you watch television and they keep telling you
like oh my god
this is so much worse for you know all do
in reality if you look into it in you investigated it's not discuss at all
it's supposed to give you more coverage and it does
