'As a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that's going to increase our costs—we knew that," President Obama said at his press conference Friday in response to a question about rising health spending.
That wasn't how he sold the plan, but, anyway, that's a truism. Here's another: The White House was always going to blame insurance companies for any cost increases, even when its own policies cause them.
Witness Kathleen Sebelius's Thursday letter to America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade group—a thuggish message even by her standards. The Health and Human Services secretary wrote that some insurers have been attributing part of their 2011 premium increases to ObamaCare and warned that "there will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases."

All by herself, she puts HHS ahead of EPA as the first government bureaucracy deserving of defunding, dissolution and having its building imploded.
“’As a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that’s going to increase our costs—we knew that,’ President Obama said...”
In other words, you are and have been a Liar, as was initially prophetically put forth by Joe Wilson....remember that guy you Annointed Idiot of a liar? =.=
Like everyone else connected with the Obama regime, Sebelius is a blithering idiot. She is absolutely clueless about everything. She probably does have a “compelling life story” though.
No, no, no. It's just "politics as normal". (This will be the MSM line right up until the first of them get hauled down from their pundit posts and marched off to the gulag. But then it'll be too late to change their tune.)
Hey Kathleen (may I call you Kathie?),
Come November we’re going to show you our “zero tolerance” for misinformation. Moron.
I’ve been buying health insurance for myself and my employees for many years. So if the President decides to cover 30 million more people my rates should go up?
I seem to remember the lady who runs Blue Shield threatning a huge rate increase if Obama’s magic plan didn’t pass. Well it did and we got smacked with a 23% rise.
I’d happily take the 9% quoted in the article.
What a bunch of crap.
The simple fact of the matter is that Sibelius is too damn stupid -- a word used advisedly -- to undertand that an increase in benefits equals an increase in premiums.
This is a woman whose sole purpose in life is to kill as many babies as possible.
bookmark.
Do them both plus Dept. of Education. We could all breathe a sigh of relief.
Sibelius certainly meets all the standards for being a sociopath.
After the rubble is cleared, the ground will be burned.
And after the ashes blow away, the earth will be salted.
How far we’ve fallen...
Anybody that can’t get a concept as fundamental as LIFE right, (remember when the Douchebag-in-Chief said that such a determination was ‘above my pay grade’) can’t really be trusted to get ANYTHING right. She’s one of many poster-children in this regime of those who SHOULD NOT be engaged in public service at ANY LEVEL or CIRCUMSTANCE.
