'... if you like what you have, and you want to keep it, you have the choice to do that'
David Gregory repeatedly reminds Pelosi that many existing insurance policies were cancelled, and each time she attempts to evade the contradictions in her statements by trying to stress some kind of notification requirement on insurance companies, to describe 'what your plan does' to policy holders. Pelosi's response was so nonsensical and clumsy, it would be considered pure comedy, if it were not for all the people who were harmed.
Anyone who would support a politician that speaks this way, regardless of their party affiliation, should be ashamed.
Even if you assume the 'Affordable Care Act' is beneficial, there is no reasonable way to defend Pelosi's handling of David Gregory's questions. The only honest answer would be to begin with an apology for having made an obviously false statement, and then to offer an explanation for why cancelling so many existing policy was beneficial. Of course, this is impossible — it would require an omniscience regarding individuals and their circumstances and insurance policies, that no human being could possibly have, never mind a group of mediocre bureaucrats — Republican or Democrat.
