This statement, along with {633806}, was made by the President dozens of times. It is a quotation that had more influence on the political status of the nation than most others. Why Obama made such an absolute statement has been a mystery since, but the statement could not possibly have been literally true as long as the insurance companies had the right to cancel existing plans. When they did, they often laid the blame on the Obamacare rules, when the rules had grandfathered them in, but these were policies that the insurance companies saw as not sufficiently profitable in the new health insurance environment. The Republicans and many Democrats castigated Obama as millions of American lost their health insurance despite the President’s oft stated promise. Though not recognized at the time, the statement turned out to have been a huge gaff.
