CNN Ignores Report Obama Admin Knew Millions Would Lose Employer Insurance Under ObamaCare
CNN has ignored a CBS report
that back in 2010, the Obama administration knew ObamaCare would force
an estimated 14 million workers off their employer-provided insurance.
Despite not reporting this big news, CNN stretched to pick out a
"silver lining" for the troubled law on Wednesday. "So there's a
potential silver lining here," chief national correspondent John King
said of poll numbers showing a majority of Americans think the law's
problems will "eventually be solved" and it's "too soon to tell" if the
law is a failure.
CBS reported
on Tuesday that, according to a 2010 document from the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, "Obamacare would 'collectively reduce
the number of people with employer-sponsored health coverage by about 14
million.'" This contradicts the President's repeated promises that
Americans could keep their insurance under his law.
While CNN ignored this news, New Day co-host Kate Bolduan bent
over backwards to find good news for the White House – the ObamaCare
poll numbers haven't gotten much worse during the law's disastrous
rollout.
"And also the top line polls that we were talking about, the fact that
they've stayed pretty steady in terms of opposition or support over the
past few months, is that also kind of seen as good news for the
administration that despite the negative headline after negative
headline, and the botched rollout -- the support, they haven't lost more
support," Bolduan offered.
King shot that optimism down. "I would say it's less bad news for the
administration. I wouldn't call it, not so much good news for the
administration," he asserted.
