"Obama has claimed that he never said if you like your plan/doctor, you can keep it. “[W]hat we said was, you can keep (your plan) if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.”
That is a flat lie. Everybody knows it’s a lie. But PolitiFact, in calling it a “pants on fire” lie, has collected the statements that Obama actually made, here. I have decided to quote them all, so that if PolitiFact disappears the collection of evidence, it will remain here."

Lies of Obamacare: I’m sorry. How about you?
"Obama said:
What happened? Well, first of all, I meant what I said, and we worked hard to try to make sure that we implemented it properly. But obviously we didn’t do a good enough job.This is Obama’s fundamental lie. Unless Obama never read the Obamacare statute and was never briefed on it by his aides or by Congressional Democrats, he knew perfectly well that most Americans were going to lose their existing health insurance under Obamacare. Indeed, that was the point of the law: the administration could only finance subsidies for some Americans if it forced other Americans to buy, not the insurance they wanted, but insurance that would normally be considered absurdly overpriced. That is–to repeat–the principal point of the law."
