ObamaCare has been confronted with a lot of issues lately and it doesn’t stop there. After US President Barack Obama promised “if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan,” another one comes along. This time the president said, “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”—but not really.

In an interview by the Independent Journal, it took a brutal 51 seconds for Obama to dance around the topic. Finally, he admitted that millions of Americans under ObamaCare would be forced to change their physicians. And what’s worst? IJ Review said, the president subtly tried employers.

In the interview Obama said, “For the average person, many folks who don’t have health insurance initially, they’re going to have to make some choices. They might end up having to switch doctors, in part because they’re saving money. But that’s true, you know, if your employer suddenly decides we think this network’s going to give a better deal, we think this is going to help keep premiums lower, you’ve got to use this doctor as opposed to that one or this hospital as opposed to that one.”

Regardless of whose fault was it, millions of Americans would be compelled to leave their doctors under this healthcare program, reported IJ Review.

Would that really work that way?
