Wow, at last a Shovel-Ready Obama project

I see president Barry is going to regale us with anecdotes about Obamacare on prime time TV.

This will be a shovel-ready project in the making....cleaning up all the bullshit he will be issuing.

Obamacare is supposed to offer a solution to the upward spiraling health care costs that most Americans face. But the truth of the matter is that. like most things the government touches, it will not work out as planned. The CBO says:

Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Elmendorf told the Senate Budget Committee that none of the bills he has seen would contain health care costs to reduce them significantly over time. This is the main argument offered by Obama and Democrats as to why Congress can spend $1 trillion and save money.

“In the legislation that has been reported we do not see the sort of fundamental changes that would be necessary to reduce the trajectory of federal health spending by a significant amount,” Elmendorf said.

“And on the contrary, the legislation significantly expands the federal responsibility for health care costs.” link

President Obama, that is not what you will tell us, huh?

And, he will tell us that we can keep our current employee provided plans. But, the details of the plan apparently will make the governments plan such that after about five years employer plans become to costly and will likely be scrapped leaving us in the hands of you-know-who....and further increasing the costs. This is from a WSJ piece:

So when Mr. Obama says that “If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what,” he’s wrong. Period. What he’s not telling the American people is that the government will so dramatically change the rules of the insurance market that employers will find it impossible to maintain their current coverage, and many will drop it altogether. The more we inspect the House bill, the more it looks to be one of the worst pieces of legislation ever introduced in Congress. Link

And, they are not projecting the costs of this behemoth out past 10 years. Undoubtedly it will be come unsustainably expensive.

And, he will tell us the AMA has endorsed the plan, but not that he bought them off with plans to INCREASE their compensation under the plan even while he decreases compensation to the already struggling hospitals. He will also, no doubt, forget to include that some states AMA chapters are not endorsing the plan.

And, I feel quite certain, he will not come forward with the ultimate truth - the one that says we are already so in debt we can't afford anything new without huge tax increases...on small businesses, on corporations and on the individual.

Get your shovels out and have them ready. There will be work for everyone after this appearance.
