Odd, we never heard similar warnings under the socialist druggie:


As the United States aims to claim a position as a leader in socialized medicine, it’s important to keep our Obamacare program grounded in fiscal reality.

Last week, Obama directed HHS to get more people covered by Obamacare, with the goal of eventually saving American families an average of $2500 a year while covering everyone. It’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of potential new medical achievements and forget the very real costs that are associated with them—costs that are incurred regardless of whether such programs are successful or not. It’s a particular worry with HHS, an agency that has a history of cost overruns.

A recent GAO report https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/medicaid-estimate-renews-cost-concerns-over-obamacare found that the cost of HHS’s new Obamacare program had soared 49% over budget. Nearly five years earlier, every republican in Congress had warned of expected cost overruns and delays. The promises that “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” and other positive claims all failed catastrophically.


When we see such a disparity in reporting objectivity, there is only one logical conclusion:

#FakeNews strikes again.

Like.

Was about to ask why wasn’t the “Fiscal Transparency Critical” when Obama was in office. Remember when O designated a NASA outreach to Muslims?
