1. Like the "keep your healthcare" bit, here's the deal.

Those who bemoaned the "keep your healthcare" bit, did so by interpreting the president's words to mean "no matter what, I'll protect you and your current plan.", which was neither what was meant nor something remotely possible.

It meant that nothing in ACA would force you to give up your plan, a false criticism from the right.

NOW, with this "keep your doctor" thing, it's the same dynamic.

A number of people will be offered plans that don't have their current doctor in the group. I might find that the best value is an ACA plan with Kaiser, but my doctor isn't in that group.

The illogical claim that could be made: "Obama took my doctor away!"

Thanks, Obama.
