Hillary 2007: You can keep your doctor and plan “if you like it”

The claim that you can keep your plan and doctor was the line that sold Obamacare to a skeptical public, and gave Democrats cover to rework the health care system, comprising 1/5 of the economy, by a bare majority in Congress.

But Hillary got there first.

This 2007 video shows Hillary making that promise as to Hillary’s healthcare reform proposal which was similar to what became Obamacare. Hillary supported Obamacare and still does.

It was the lie that is devastating our healthcare system, and Hillary got there first.
