No kidding. The nerve on this guy.
After everything. All the glitches, all the premium increases, all the physicians turning people away or shuttering their practices, all the financial waste … after all of that, the president is still insisting not only that Obamacare is working, but that it’s better than ever:

@BarackObama Truly? How do I benefit for having to pay for everything cuz my deductible is so high?Do you even know what a deductible is?
— crazy4glass (@crazy4glass) July 1, 2015
@BarackObama Mr.President my insurance went up 33%.

@BarackObama Mr. President maybe $500 a mnth is affordable to you but I bet it's been a while since you had to live off of less than 50k/yr

@BarackObama Not really. I'm paying a ton more for less benefits. Thanks.
— Sally Simpson (@ssimpson502) July 1, 2015
@BarackObama Not everyone. Premiums, deductibles & co pays all doubled.

If a 250.00 premium. 6000.00 deductible and they only pay 80% with shitty coverage is a benefit, then yes. https://t.co/s0pO2wGxiM

This is weird: Obama is saying Obamacare was “set up” to give states option to expand Medicaid. That, uh, wasn’t his position in 2012 case.

His ability to evolve really is something to behold. Or maybe “evolve” is the wrong word …

@dylanlscott @charlescwcooke The technical term for that is 'baldfaced lie.'
