We were paying about $650 per month and a $4,000 annual deductible.

Obamacare forced our insurer to cancel our plan.

First lie: "If you like your plan you can keep it".

The new plan was $1,450 per month and a $9,000 annual deductible.

Second lie: "A family will save $2,500 per year".

Even at that, we lost many of the doctors.

Third lie: "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor".

There's more in the details (co-pays, etc.). The above would be enough to throw any business person in jail for fraud. Yet we somehow tolerate and rationalize our elected officials behaving this way.

I don't particularly like Trump but if anyone is wondering why he got elected, well, start by understanding the true depths of Obamacare and go from there.
