Now media lapdogs are admitting that whole “you can keep your plan” deal was never going to happen. The election is over, so it’s totally safe now, you see.
AP confirms that Obama's "if you like your plan, you can keep it" line "was an empty promise" http://t.co/ZkkZUMNufj #Obamacare

Rick Klein, junior high poet and head Obama cheerleader at one point, went so far as to say that it was “never possible to keep.” Hey, you know what that sounds like, Mr. Klein?
@rickklein @jtsantucci @AP how much else of what he says is "never possible to keep" iow he lies!

Bingo!
Klein mused about the “empty promise” last week too.
"If you already have health care, you don't have to do anything." Not quite, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your plan…"

@rickklein Still wrong; We've got HC but our plan is no longer offered cuz it's not compliant. So I have to get a worse plan for more $.

Yep. As Twitchy reported, what you can keep is your cancellation notice.
The day prior to that tweet, Klein was still a tad confused.
to Cruz/Paul point, Obamacare was always designed to provide coverage to those who don't have it, not replace for those who do, no?

Sorry, guys! Psych!
No, it was stated to be for that ("you can keep your plan") but was always designed to force everyone into exchanges. They lied. @rickklein

Obama blatantly lied to the American people in his push to get #Obamacare passed. The truth..he couldn't give 2 sh**s if you keep your plan.

@sevenbowie @JenGranholm Our family lost our healthcare plan. Obama said, "if u like your health care plan, u can keep it, period" He lied.

“Empty promise,” “never possible”? That all equals one thing:
LIE.
