President Obama is not trustworthy when it comes to what he says about health care.

At Tuesday's town hall meeting on health insurance reform at Portsmouth High School in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Obama claimed he has not said he was a "single payer supporter." That is simply not true.

In 2003 Obama, a more honest Obama told an AFL-CIO conference that he was a supporter of a single payer universal health care program:

I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that’s what I’d like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House.

Don't take my word for it, watch the following short video:

Obama's assertion today, that he has not said he is a "single payer supporter" is a bald face lie:

I have not said that I was a single payer supporter, because frankly we historically have had a employer-based system in this country with private insurers and for us to transition to a system like that, I believe, would be too disruptive.

Again, don't take my word for it, Watch the following short video:

Obama cannot expect the American people to believe anything he says about Obamacare when the record shows he is not telling the truth. What else is Obama lying about?
