WILL THIS FINALLY CONVINCE YOU IDIOTS THAT IT NEVER WAS ABOUT SAVING MONEY BUT ABOUT GAINING TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR LIVES?
THE LYING THIEVING DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEEDS TO BE WIPED OFF THE POLITICAL MAP.

Oops! Turns out Obama's cost-cutting health plan won't save a dime; cheaper to do nothing
Los Angeles Times, by Andrew Malcolm
It's probably just coincidental that bad numbers about President Obama's much-coveted healthcare legislation came out late last week when few people were paying attention.
This is the absolutely crucial healthcare reform plan that simply had to be drafted, discussed, debated, amended and passed before early August. It's supposed to cover millions more Americans and reduce the nation's soaring medical costs.
Turns out, not.
Here's a little chapter review before semester finals:
Analysts in the Obama administration's Health and Human Services Department reported Friday that the nation's $2.5-trillion annual healthcare tab will not shrink at all under the Democrats' legislative blueprint as being pushed by happy Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader in the Senate.
Instead, they said, the nation's medical costs will actually grow faster under the new bill than....
...they would if that chatty crowd of Washington spenders did absolutely nothing nada zippo about it. And even if they did pass the existing version for all that money, 24 million Americans would still remain uncovered.
"Although several provisions would help to reduce healthcare cost growth," the report said, "their impact would be more than offset through 2019 by the higher health expenditures resulting from the coverage expansions" to millions more Americans.
So there goes the cost-saving argument. And the cover-everyone plank.
