It has already started. The Obama administration is blaming health insurance companies like United Healthgroup for dropping policies like the one this cancer patient relied upon:

You Also Can't Keep Your Doctor

After this letter was published in the WSJ, ThinkProgress quickly spun the story and put the blame on UNH:

The Real Reason That The Cancer Patient Writing In Today’s Wall Street Journal Lost Her Insurance

Of course, ThinkProgress neglects to mention that UNH pulled out of the individual insurance market in California primarily because of ObamaCare. They feared that the initial enrollees into the exchange would be the sickest, most expensive patients, who under ObamaCare cannot be denied coverage, so UNH decided to get out and see how these markets shape up in terms of cost.

A spokeshole in the White House tweeted the ThinkProgress article, creating controversy:

White House Spokesman Sparks Outrage Over Comments About Cancer Patient

People can debate over the need for reform and how that would inevitably create winners and losers, but no one can deny that Obama lied when he said, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

And no one can deny that liberals are once again putting the health insurance industry in their crosshairs. Which, in the long term view of things, was their intention all along, as even the libtards commenting on the ThinkProgress article are saying that the goal is single payer.
