President Obama said, “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. Period.”
By MacPundit
He said it at least forty times with various rhetorical iterations:
“If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. Period.”
“If you like your healthcare plan you can keep your healthcare plan. Guaranteed. Period.”
“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period. End of story.”
“If you like your hospital, you can keep your hospital. Period.”
Notice that he even added the word “guaranteed” occasionally, as if he was worried that we would not believe him when he simply said “period.” In fact, sometimes he actually used “period,” “guaranteed,” and “end of story” all in the same sentence. When people began to lose their healthcare plans—the ones they liked—he was asked why that was happening because he had promised they would not lose their plans. He said he should have been more clear. More clear? What could be more clear than, “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. Period.”
