In an interview with The Daily Caller, he laid out what he estimates the consequences of Obamacare\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s implementation will ultimately be.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bottom line: of the 189 million Americans with private health insurance coverage, I estimate that if Obamacare is fully implemented, at least 129 million (68 percent) will not be able to keep their previous health care plan either because they already have lost or will lose that coverage by the end of 2014,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said in an email. \u00e2\u20ac\u009dBut of these, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dconly\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the 18 to 50 million will literally lose coverage, i.e., have their plans entirely taken away. This includes 9.2-15.4 million in the non-group market and 9-35 million in the employer-based market. The rest will retain their old plans but have to pay higher rates for Obamacare-mandated bells and whistles.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Conover also says it is hard to imagine President Obama didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know these statistics when he was flacking for his health care bill by promising Americans they could keep their health insurance if they liked it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If President Obama himself believed this the first time he said it, he was poorly advised,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Conover said<a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2013\/11\/04\/expert-at-least-129-million-will-not-be-able-to-keep-health-care-plan-if-obamacare-fully-implemented\/\">&#8230;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You silly 129 million &#8216;Mericans you didn&#8217;t listen to his majesty when he said you could keep your plan if you liked if IF it hasn&#8217;t changed since the law was passed!
