Bill Maher did his darndest to spin away President Barack Obama’s proven lie that citizens could keep their existing health care under ObamaCare.
The HBO host appeared on the low-rated Piers Morgan Live Tuesday night, and he attempted the liberal line that people get dropped from their health care coverage all the time.
When push came to shove, though, Maher blames those dastardly Republicans for forcing Obama to lie through his teeth about the health care overhaul’s fallout.
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: It was a lie, wasn’t it?
MAHER: Well, hold on. First of all, insurance companies are always dropping people from their plans. This goes on, this went on before ObamaCare went on, after ObamaCare. We’re losing a lot of perspective here. But, yeah, he probably should have not been so blatant about saying you iron clad guarantee.
On the other hand, since he got no Republican votes and no Republican help, and since three years after it’s a law they’re still fighting it, can you imagine what it would be like if he said, “Yeah, some people your rates are going to up.” I mean, he, the thing passed by this much. If they said that, they might have lost the whole thing. And politicians are always making compromises like that.
