Well, Mr. Obama did promise to bend the cost curve. But this is not what he meant, exactly.

The Wall Street Journal today released information it obtained from a Federal Government study that shows that not only will the Obama Health Care Reform package not curve the costs of health care downward from the baseline...it will, in fact, increase costs.

Obama and the Demoncrats disastrous attempt to reform health care can be the next chapter in the Democrat book of good intentions ending up causing severely negative consequences.

“Unexpected”

These folks will achieve the same outcome as the war on poverty, the war on drugs etc.etc.etc. Central planners can control NOTHING ...

Someone needed a study to find this out? Even I, with my pea brain, knew the costs would increase and at a huge rate.

[lurk]

Well, surprise surprise.

Stick your hand in acid and get burned. They forgot to use the word ‘unexpected’.

Andy Griffith says IdiotCare has passed the smell and taste test....don’t you all believe him? /s =.=

This is why US citizens, as they learn more about ObamaCare, are going crazy. OF COURSE costs will go up. When things are covered, and are free or nearly so, people will get services they don't care about and pharmaceuticals they won't use because "it's covered" by insurance. There will be no incentive to find more affordable ways to treat things.

I have to believe a lot of HOR reps and Senators are really, really dumb. They just didn't cut through it and think for themselves what has to happen with this nutty program.

We The People must vow to vote out every Elitist politician that voted “YES” on this outrage against the American people. Every politician that voted “YES” knew that a majority of the American people rejected their socialized genocide.

Any particular reason you couldn’t post your entire article here, on FreeRepublic?

Something on your site you don’t want everyone to see?
