Rand Paul (Pants on Fire)
Rand Paul says 40 times more Kentuckians have gotten health-insurance cancellation notices than signed up for Obamacare
Now that more than 8 million Americans have signed up for coverage under Obamacare, the White House has all but declared victory after the laws initially troubled rollout. But many of the laws critics continue to see the law as a disaster.
A reader sent us a newsletter to constituents released by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a critic of the law and a potential presidential candidate in 2016.
Heres an excerpt from the newsletter, which was dated May 2, 2014:
"Since the implementation of Obamacare, hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians have received cancellation notices from their current health care providers. For every Kentuckian that has enrolled in Obamacare, 40 have been dropped from their coverage. Obamacare has been presented to the American people through twisted rhetoric, smoke and mirrors. Obamacare is not good for America and it certainly (is) not good for Kentucky. I would like (to) hear how Obamacare affected you, your family or your small business.
