This guy has all the gall in the world; a bold faced prevaricator. He should get his ass handed to him, electorally.

Keeping the cost of care per person constant is not the same as treating new people “for free.” Obama is either disingenuous or stupid. Of course if you cover more people your overall cost will go up ... but it appears that the cost per person covered will go up ... “we knew that.”

I’m going with disingenuous.

Dec. 15, 2009:

Obama said health care reform will reduce the cost of health care

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2009/dec/18/barack-obama/obama-said-health-care-reform-will-reduce-cost-hea/

“We agree on reforms that will finally reduce the costs of health care,” Obama said.”

Now, I just want to repeat this because there’s so much misinformation about the cost issue here. You talk to every health care economist out there and they will tell you that whatever ideas are — whatever ideas exist in terms of bending the cost curve and starting to reduce costs for families, businesses, and government, those elements are in this bill.”

Does anyone have a specific date where he said this would not happen?

I'll create another one of these, but with the appropriate captions.

“President Obama on Friday defended the Democrats’ healthcare law, saying the enormous expansion of insurance coverage made an increase in healthcare spending inevitable.”

"As a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people healthcare, at the margins that's going to increase our costs - we knew that," the president told reporters during a White House press conference. "We didn't think that we were going to cover 30 million people for free."

It was just politically expedient to lie about it.

Just like everything else that comes out of the slimeball-in-chief's mouth.

Obama: Health Care Reform will Save Money

By Jennifer Wishon
CBN News Washington Correspondent
Wednesday, July 15, 2009

WASHINGTON — Continuing to promote his plan for the nation’s health care system, Wednesday, President Barack Obama urged significant reform in medical insurance coverage in order to save Americans money.

“Deferring reform is nothing more than defending the status quo,” he said.  “And those who would oppose our efforts should take a hard look at just what it is they’re defending.”

Speaking in the Rose Garden at the White House, Obama painted a dreary picture of soaring premiums, deductibles and other costs without reform.

With his health care revamp, however, he vowed, “You’ll save money.”

“If you lose your job, change your job, or start a new business, you’ll still be able to find quality health insurance you can afford,” Obama said.

* MARCH 4, 2010

“my proposal would bring down the cost of health care for millions—families, businesses and the federal government.” He said it is “fully paid for” and “brings down our deficit by up to $1 trillion over the next two decades.”

Obama said health care reform will reduce the cost of health care

After meeting with Senate Democrats on Dec. 15, President Barack Obama made a number of claims about what the health care bill would achieve if passed.

“We agree on reforms that will finally reduce the costs of health care,” Obama said. “Families will save on their premiums; businesses that will see their costs rise if we do nothing will save money now and in the future.  This plan will strengthen Medicare and extend the life of that program.  And because it gets rid of the waste and inefficiencies in our health care system, this will be the largest deficit reduction plan in over a decade.

“Now, I just want to repeat this because there’s so much misinformation about the cost issue here.  You talk to every health care economist out there and they will tell you that whatever ideas are — whatever ideas exist in terms of bending the cost curve and starting to reduce costs for families, businesses, and government, those elements are in this bill.”
