Former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday repeated the claim about health care that earned President Barack Obama a “lie of the year” award in 2013.

“If you like your health care plan … you can keep it,” Biden said at an AARP event in Des Moines, Iowa.

Biden, the Democratic front-runner for the 2020 presidential primary, unveiled a health care plan that would build on Obama’s Affordable Care Act and include a “public option” that is similar to Medicare.

The expanded coverage would be paid for by tax increases on the wealthiest Americans, he said.

“I’d like to get people the option: If you like your health care plan, or your employer-based plan, you can keep it,” Biden said.

“If in fact you have private insurance, you can keep it.”

The pitch was similar to the one made by Obama when he was selling Obama­Care before it became law in 2010.

Obama repeatedly said, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”

That claim earned him the “lie of the year” award from PolitiFact after some insurers changed or canceled policies and some health care providers left networks.
