Struggling to explain the details of his own healthcare plan to voters at Thursday night’s debate, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden managed to revive President Obama’s most infamous lie.
Obama told many lies in his effort to sell his national healthcare plan, but his most well known was his bold declaration that “if you like your healthcare plan, you’ll be able to keep your healthcare plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.” Of course, millions of people did, in fact, end up losing healthcare plans that they liked as the country transitioned to Obamacare. His lie was so bad that the usually liberal Politifact declared it the “lie of the year” in 2013.
