Obamacare Website Admits It Just Recently Started Asking Insurers Which Docs They Covered

The words President Obama used to sell his signature initiative, Obamacare—”if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”—may end up the most memorable of his eight years in office. But according to information posted on Healthcare.gov, this “guarantee” from the president was wholly without foundation.

In 2013, THE WEEKLY STANDARD first reported that the president’s promise was downgraded from “you can keep” to “you may be able to keep.” Later that year, Politifact named the broken promise the Lie of the Year. Even more recently, TWS reported that the Obamacare website removed a section on “how to keep your doctor.”
