Question

President Obama said in a number of speeches advocating his health care plan, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan, period." After the law was passed and as its provisions took effect, about 5 million Americans had their policies canceled because the policies no longer met federal minimum standards for coverage. A provision in the law required insurers to cancel any policies that did not meet those federal standards. Which of the following categories does the President’s statement fall into? a. Giving or allowing a false impression b. Conflict of interest c. Personal decadence d. a, b and c

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Giving or allowing a false impression.

Explanation:

The statement:

"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan, period";

is vague if the intention is to comprise a major and wide topic such as public health care insurance. If we base our judgment only in the statement, President Obama would be allowing a false impression because he is actually stating something true without outlining all the implications of the matter being discussed. As a result, some insured lost their coverage since within those implications there was a provision setting the minimum standards for the policy which not every coverage fulfilled.
