Allegations went viral on the Internet saying that an Executive Order signed by President Obama granted pay raises to Vice President Biden, Senators, Congressional Representatives and Supreme Court Justices.

The President also said that if Americans liked their doctors that they could keep their doctors. After the Obamacare roll out over 5 million people in the US have been notified by mail of policy cancellations from their health insurance companies because they do not meet up to the standards of the new law.
