Dick Cheney: White House lied about Obamacare health plans

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, citing his own experience with heart disease, slammed President Barack Obama and the administration on Monday for lying when they told people they could keep their plans and doctors under Obamacare.

“It was a lie. It was deliberate. They knew if they told the truth, the bill would’ve never passed,” Cheney on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.”

Cheney’s comments follow an appearance by Ezekiel Emanuel, former White House health care policy adviser, on “Fox News Sunday,” in which he defended Obama’s repeated claim that Americans would be able to keep their health plans and their doctors under Obamacare.

“He didn’t say you can have unlimited choice,” Emanuel said told host Chris Wallace. “If you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. This is matter of choice.”

A co-conspirator from the corrupt and evil BushCo Regime is actually accusing someone of dishonesty.
