Great Catch, John Loughlin. How Did We Forget, “Reduce Premiums for the Typical Family By $2,500”?
To date, most of the attention, understandably so as healthcare plans have been blowing up right and left, has been focused on the promise that, under ObamaCare, everyone would be able to keep their coverage if they wanted to.
Major H/T to WPRO‘s John Loughlin for reminding us on the air this morning about another representation made by President Obama about his signature healthcare law, and one made repeatedly: that it would cut the annual premiums for the typical family by $2,500.
The Tampa Bay Times PolitiFact did some research and rated this a broken promise on the Obameter over a year ago.
No, the ObamaCare law has not gone fully into effect yet. But judging from the roll out so far, is it likely that this assertion will be redeemed and the “typical family” will save $2,500/year on healthcare premiums if the law is fully implemented?
