[WATCH] Frank Pallone gets called on Obama’s ‘keep your plan’ rhetoric…twice

Pallone took his “monkey court” antics to both CNN’s “Piers Morgan Live” and Fox News’ “The Kelly File” last night to discuss the Obama administration’s broken “if you like you’re plan you can keep it” promise. While Pallone may have support from his colleagues on the Left, neither Piers Morgan — surprisingly — nor Megyn Kelly were buying his rhetoric.

“When the president repeatedly stood up and told the American people, if you want to keep your doctor or your plan, you can do that, with no qualifications to it, none of this, ‘If it’s not quite good enough and it gets changed,’ but just boldly telling people, if you want to keep your doctor or your plan you can,” Morgan said. “That was just a lie, wasn’t it? A complete and utter falsehood.”

“People can keep their plans,” Pallone told Morgan, spewing off an often-repeated talking point. “Plans are grandfathered. If the insurance companies want to continue to offer lousy plans that don’t have good coverage and cost a lot of money to the taxpayer or to the insured, they can.”

The New Jersey Democrat told Kelly the same thing.

But both hosts refuted Pallone’s claim, saying the “if you like your plan you can keep it” mantra was a flat out lie, as demonstrated by the 2 million Americans set to receive cancellation notices.

“The bottom line is if you’re selling a lousy policy at a price that’s too high, nobody is going to want to buy it and so they’re canceling these policies because no one will want to buy them,” Pallone said on “The Kelly File.” “It’s a competitive marketplace.”

“Why do you get to decide what’s lousy?” Kelly asked as Pallone argued. “Why can’t the American people say, ‘It’s lousy for you — for me, I like it?’

“…I tried,” she told the audience. “It’s so much better when you can have a real exchange on the actual issues. Anyway…”
