Because a blog entry there, dated August 7th, 2013, clearly says: "If you have health coverage you like, you can keep it" It's in an entry called: 2014 in 214 words "There’s a lot to the health care law," the site says. "But it’s based on a few simple principles, which we’ve described below in a mere 214 words. Follow the links for more details." Catch the first principle? "If you have health coverage you like, you can keep it" Wrong. Seems that 214 words weren't enough to cover all the hums and haws Obama and the Democrats are having over this simple promise which they broke. It took me a while to track down the exact wording because the search engine the site uses won't bring up anything relevant with the phrase: "Can I keep my own insurance?" Even though that phrase is the top suggestion by the site's search engine. Instead, I had to download the RSS blog feed and search for the words. Tricky, huh? Maybe they are trying to hide something? Ya think?
