And I'm not the one who said "We will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.  Period."  President Obama did.  Numerous times.  Don't make promises you can't keep.  Again, he didn't say "If you want to keep your doctor, you can - but only if you go shopping on our broken website and buy a new plan.  Period."

Again, Obama cannot and will not force insurance companies to keep every doctor in their network (Republicans would be howling socialism if he tried!).  Insurance companies are constantly bringing doctors in and out of their networks -- Obamacare doesn't change that.  It's the free market that determines which doctors are in which networks, not Obamacare, period.

I realize that basic tenets of how health insurance works aren't part of the high school curriculum or anything, but I've never seen an entire political party show such utter ignorance of a topic that that they argue so vehemently about like Republicans lately.

If Obama and those who voted for the ACA really thought that it would not cause people to have to change their insurance and their doctors - their ignorance is astounding.

They're politicians and most who voted for it intended for people to lose their coverage so that more people could be dependent on them. The more people dependent on the government, the better things are for Obama and his allies.

Please direct me to the government health insurance that people are forced to buy.

Amazing what some people consider to be "health insurance".
