@jearnest44 @pfeiffer44 #ACA but that # and grandfather language shows adm KNEW millions could NOT qualify to keep existing policies
— Lisa Myers (@LisaMyers) October 28, 2013
Josh Earnest, special assistant to the president, is calling out NBC on its scoop that 40 to 67 percent of health insurance policy holders could be receiving cancellation notices, and the president was aware of those numbers three years ago. NBC’s Lisa Myers is sticking by her reporting, which Twitchy covered earlier tonight. NBC reports that President Obama knew in 2010 that millions would lose their insurance under the Affordable Care Act. In other words, the line about keeping your health insurance plan and your doctor was always a lie.
Hi @jearnest44, are you saying that 50%-75% of people that buy health insurance on their own losing their plans is just "normal turnover"?

It looks like the administration is going full speed ahead with its spin that you didn’t want to keep your lousy old policy anyway, so why fret over a broken promise?
.@LisaMyers "existing policies"? Your story says insurance cos. changed 'em. Thx to #ACA many ppl now get tax credits to afford better plans
— Josh Earnest (NARA) (@jearnest44) October 28, 2013
.@AG_Conservative That's typical of the individual insurance market. Now, thx to #ACA affordable plans w/ better benefits are avail to all.

“Better” benefits? Regardless, that’s not what President Obama promised. Cancellation of more than 10 million insurance policies was not mentioned during the campaign.
.@jearnest44 Can you name another time where individual market had that type of turnover over a short period?

.@jearnest44 Also, are you denying that certain plans are no longer available because they do not meet ACA requirements?

.@jearnest44 @Schultz44 Funny but people losing their policies don't seem very thankful for ACA. They want their policies back @LisaMyers

Let’s go to the videotape.
Nothing you said alters the fact that your boss said “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. Period.” @jearnest44
