At long last, we find out what “If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance,” means.

Pres Obama concedes ObamaCare enrollees “might have to switch doctors,” but he says the trade-off is they’re “gonna save money.”

You can’t keep your doctor, but you will pay less (for fewer services). Or, in many states, you will pay more for fewer services. But “good solid insurance with some deductibles and co-pays is better than no insurance at all.”

In response to complaints, Pres Obama says “good solid insurance with some deductibles and co-pays is better than no insurance at all.”

That may be true for some, but not all, who can no longer afford to buy the most basic types.

BTW, has anyone else noticed the President’s folksy affect in his diction. He routinely drops his gs at the ends of words (feelin’, goin’, etc.) “Gonna” seems to be another manifestation of this style.
