| Abstract | Corresponding author: Gilbert Berdine Contact Information: Gilbert.berdine@ttuhsc.edu DOI: 10.12746/swrccc.v6i22.434 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010. This was arguably President Obama's signature piece of legislation and is commonly referred to as Obamacare. As politicians are wont to do, many promises were made. The most infamous promise was, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.” This was so obviously untrue that PolitiFact made it the 2013 Lie of the Year. This promise was not directed at Medicare beneficiaries, since these people were generally happy with Medicare. Rather this promise was directed at people with employer based private health insurance. It was a promise that was doomed to fail given the structural features of the ACA. |
