2020 Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden backed away from an earlier campaign trail comment that suggested Americans would be able to keep their private insurance under his healthcare plan.

The New York Times editorial board asked the former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner about his sentiment that “if you like your private insurance, you can keep your private insurance.” The comment was similar to what President Barack Obama said in 2013 about his landmark Obamacare law — “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it” — which PolitiFact dubbed the “lie of the year” after millions of Americans had their plans canceled.
