And just to help you out a bit here - not to rehash the ACA debate maybe help you refresh your failing memory:

That means the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them.
Yet President Obama, who had promised in 2009, “if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan,” was still saying in 2012, “If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.”
Only "one lie". LOL!! You're a schill. |
12 million of 325 million Americans get their insurance through Obamacare exchanges (and 10 million of those received subsidies for their premiums). So, if half of them had to change their plans (many for the better, BTW, since Obamacare set minimum in terms of policies), it means that less than 2% were forced to change their plans. In exchange for <2% having to change their plans (often for the better), the uninsured rate went down from 18.2% in 2010 to 10.5% by 2015, providing ~20 million previously uninsured Americans with health insurance. Personally, I don't know a single person who was forced to change plans or doctors by virtue of Obamacare and I bet the vast majority of Americans don't either.
So, Obama's statement was ~98% true, a record Trump has not achieved on a single day of his Presidency (he averages ~5 lies a day, including one in which he said it would be easy for him to pass a health plan that would be better, cost less and cover everybody. Amazingly, you believed GOP rhetoric about having such a plan.
) Lost in your ridiculous argument is the fact that most (of the very few) people whose plans were changed by Obamacare had plans that changed for the better. And I'm the shill?
