The Other Shoe Will Drop Soon

People have been quoting President Obama's often-repeated pledge that "if you like your insurance, you can keep it" as an example of his lying. Which is fair enough, I think – it's a pretty clear-cut lie.

What is not as often quoted is the second half of that pledge – "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." When that part is exposed as another lie, things might get interesting:

Meet Chico, Calif., attorney Kenneth Turner. His wife found out that she has breast cancer two days before they received their cancellation notice. She's scheduled for surgery Dec. 20 and will hear the prognosis Dec. 30. Two days later, she loses the doctor who will have operated on her, as well as other doctors she has seen for decades.

I wonder how low Obama's approval numbers will drop when people start being told by their doctors: "Sorry, I can no longer accept your insurance."
