"No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."
As Bob has most recently, and effectively, illustrated, none of these are true. But that's just us, right?
Nope:
"The New York Times reports ... Consumer advocates fear that the health care law could worsen some of the very problems it was meant to solve"
Increased regulation leads inexorably to decreased competition, and thus higher rates and fewer choices. That's a threat, not a promise.
