A damning health care report generated by actuaries at the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department was given to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the health care vote. She hid the report from the public until a month after democrats rammed their nationalized health care bill through Congress.
The results from the report were troubling. The report released by Medicare and Medicaid actuaries shows that medical costs will skyrocket rising $389 billion 10 years. 14 million will lose their employer-based coverage. Millions of Americans will be left without insurance. And, millions more may be dumped into the already overwhelmed Medicaid system. 4 million American families will be hit with tax penalties under this new law.
Of course, these were ALL things that President Obama and Democratic leaders assured us would not happen.

The American Spectator reported, via FOX Nation:
The economic report released last week by Health and Human Services, which indicated that President Barack Obama’s health care “reform” law would actually increase the cost of health care and impose higher costs on consumers, had been submitted to the office of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the Congressional votes on the bill, according to career HHS sources, who added that Sebelius’s staff refused to review the document before the vote was taken.
“The reason we were given was that they did not want to influence the vote,” says an HHS source. “Which is actually the point of having a review like this, you would think.”
The analysis, performed by Medicare’s Office of the Actuary, which in the past has been identified as a “nonpolitical” office, set off alarm bells when submitted. “We know a copy was sent to the White House via their legislative affairs staff,” says the HHS staffer, “and there were a number of meetings here almost right after the analysis was submitted to the secretary’s office. Everyone went into lockdown, and people here were too scared to go public with the report.”
In the end, the report was released several weeks after the vote.
When Nancy Pelosi told America, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it,” she forgot to mention that democrats already knew what was in it. They just didn’t want the rest of the country to find out.
If we had a responsible media this would make headlines for about the next year and a half.
I don’t think I can be shocked any more,,my shock is worn out.
Criminals and thieves.
Tell Congress to retire or hang!
Ooh, they lied? They hid important facts? There’s a shocker. They’ve also provided for a pseudo-military force outside of the US Armed Forces. Why? Probably because the US military takes a pesky (to them) oath to defend the Constitution. So anyone shocked at this bit of deception is an utter mororn (aka part of the 52% who voted for Obama).
I hear ya. I feel like a lone rebel with 20,000 British red coats running towards me. Why are we throwing away all that we sacrificed for freedom from tyranny?
When will we escape this nightmare? Media, government, all working to hurt the American people.
Oh, not to worry. When it is realized that those money-grabbing insurers aren’t insuring, and rich doctors aren’t healing, the government will come to the rescue. (See my tag line).

I thinks we need a lot more “Sunshine” in Washington.
Wouldn’t it be nice if every conversation by our “Overlords” was opened to us “Little People” through video and audio placed in very office in Washington with instant access.
They lied. They had to lie and they knew they were lying.
When all is said and done with this, the mother
of all corrupt administrations and congresses,
who will write the definitive volumes on the
deception, corruption, and graft that will
be incomparable in the history of this nation?
Gee, I wonder how much airtime the MSM is going to give this.
/sarc
I wish I could say I was even slightly surprised, but I am not.
Promises,Promises,Promises,Promises
Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies
And she should be incarcerated to find out what a criminal she is.
If this doesn’t make the Drudge headline, I don’t know what will.
“who will write the definitive volumes on the deception, corruption, and graft that will be incomparable in the history of this nation?”
The winner. Period.
bttt
Is Kathleen Sebelius subject to Impeachment? Or, Obama, if he doesn’t fire her?
