While in hindsight Obama should have qualified that statement with
"as long as your health provider doesn't change the rules on you," the fact of the matter is that
it was the provider that made you change doctors.
That they could blame Obamacare and divert the blame for their own shenanigans...was simply a bonus.
Keeping Your Health Plan
Quote:
That’s because most Americans are covered by plans through their jobs, and nothing in the health care law prohibited employers from dropping coverage or changing health plans as they have been able to previously. Before the health care bill even became law, the Congressional Budget Office projected that up to 10 million people who otherwise would have been covered by employer-provided plans would not be offered coverage under one Democratic proposal.
The health care law also sets minimum standards for insurance coverage, requiring that all health plans cover mental health benefits, prescription drug coverage, vaccinations, dental and vision care for children, maternity care for women, and more.
The upgrades mean that some plans that were inexpensive for purchasers — but didn’t cover the required benefits — would eventually cease to exist.

While Obama is certainly far from being a 'saint,' facts are facts...regardless of how inconvenient they may be to an agenda.
