In last week’s Times, a letter claimed that “facts” support the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, but offered questionable “facts” and nothing which can’t be refuted with what is readily perceived and well-documented.

Obamacare was promoted as a necessary solution for people (estimated at 30 million) who couldn’t afford health insurance. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office recently projected that after full implementation of Obamacare, 40 million people would be without coverage.

Now that’s quite a solution.

Remember, Obamacare includes expansion of Medicaid in many states, providing coverage for the poor, and still 40 million people won’t be covered.

Have you noticed that the President eagerly adopted the nickname “Obamacare” and frequently used that term in many speeches, at least until recently? Come to think of it, this change occurred about the time that the ($500-plus million) healthcare.gov website debuted Oct. 1, and failed terribly, something acknowledged by the President and many others.

Now, you’ll notice the President referring to “The Affordable Care Act.” No sense in reminding Americans of that disaster, huh?

Over 5.5 million holders of individual insurance policies have already been notified that their current policies will be cancelled on Dec. 31 because of Obamacare.

This is despite repeated assurances by President Obama and scores of Democrats that “If you like your plan, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” Don’t forget the President’s emphatic, “Period!”

It’s documented that the White House knew in 2010 that this would not hold true. Yet, the reassurances continued and Americans are paying the price. In 45 states, premium costs are rising, not dropping. Multiple polls show growing opposition to Obamacare.

A recent Quinnipiac poll shows 52 percent of Americans think the President “is not honest and trustworthy.”

How’s “hope and change” working for you?
