GOP Sen. Ben Sasse is sick and tired of President Obama shirking responsibility for and outright lying about the Dumpster fire that is Obamacare. So in a mini-tweetstorm this afternoon, Sasse systematically dismantled several of Obama’s favorite claims about his precious Affordable Care Act:
Mr @POTUS
1 You said premiums wld decrease $2500/family
2 We said it wasn't true
3 Can you show me those decreases? pic.twitter.com/EIZ0HoUGX8— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) November 3, 2016
In reality – not ObamaCare spin –
premiums have increased >$3000 per family, rather than decreased.Mr @POTUS it's a $5,500+ difference.

2 We said it wasn't true
3 Do you know how many Americans have only 0, 1 or 2 optns?— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) November 3, 2016
Still waiting on the president to respond. To any of those points.
Meanwhile, Sasse has some advice for media covering Obama’s ACA boasts:
Should we keep going?
NOTE to reporters..
The honest headline for this speech should be:
"President manufactures fake 'facts' on ObamaCare"— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) November 3, 2016
