AP: Obamacare Won’t Hold Down Costs and you can’t Keep your Plan

Two of the central promises of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law are unlikely to be fulfilled, Medicare's independent economic expert told Congress on Wednesday.

The landmark legislation probably won't hold costs down, and it won't let everybody keep their current health insurance if they like it, Chief Actuary Richard Foster told the House Budget Committee. His office is responsible for independent long-range cost estimates.

Hmmm. What page of the NYT will this be on?

[goldstategop]

It’ll be ignored by the MSM. They will circle wagons around The One.

DUH!!!

"Hmmm. What page of the NYT will this be on?"

Page 20 B (in 15 years) unless they figure out a way to blame Republicans; of course then it will be above the fold, as they say..

This has an "other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" feel to it.

As if we didn’t know.

And not everyone will be covered under the plan. That part has been swept under the rug too.

[RC one]

but it does raise taxes on just about anyone that works (or tans). I heard Obama is taxing aspirin in fact. Cuz they’re white and they work.

Yeah, but you have to pick some cotton first.

IOW, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and all the other Rats that voted for this monstrosity are a bunch of liars.

Say it isn’t so!

(does this really need an < / sarc > tag?

[fhayek]

It's funny how all those foot dragging, knuckle dragging, hate-filled, racist, Neanderthal conservative critics are always proved to be right.

What I don’t see being asked lately is whether or not our lawmakers will be subject to the same government health care insurance as the rest of us.

“What I don’t see being asked lately is whether or not our lawmakers will be subject to the same government health care insurance as the rest of us.”

We do know from the exemptions being issued Union members will not be subject to the same insurance as the rest of us.

Excellent! Quote of the Week.

Quoting Gomer Pyle...”Well... Surprise! Surprise!”

The kenyan threw the tax on white people in there just for shits and giggles, brings a smile to his face everytime he thinks of it.
