Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 2, 2015
Well, the President basically robbed Peter to pay Paul. He robbed the beneficiaries of Medicare benefits and then took the money and spent it on somebody else. So the person who had the benefits didn't have the benefits any longer. The problem with this entire deal is it was a charade. Promises were made that if you like your policy, you can keep it. That turned out to be wrong. Premiums were going to go down. That turned out to be wrong. If you couldn't get insurance, you would be able to get insurance. Well, that ended up being true in part, but it became something known as a bronze policy. Do you know what a bronze policy is? It was a policy that gave you coverage, but the deductible was so big, you couldn't get to the coverage. So every time there was a promise, it was a broken promise, an increased cost, and less accessibility to coverage.
