The Obama Administration’s Health Care ProposalAnd why exactly would you expect Obama to tell the truth? So Obama says it will cost only $950 billion in more deficits, how would he know?
This morning the Obama Administration released a description of its health care proposal, and CBO has already received several requests to provide a cost estimate for that proposal. We had not previously received the proposal, and we have just begun the process of reviewing it—a process that will take some time, given the complexity of the issues involved. Although the proposal reflects many elements that were included in the health care bills passed by the House and the Senate last year, it modifies many of those elements and also includes new ones. Moreover, preparing a cost estimate requires very detailed specifications of numerous provisions, and the materials that were released this morning do not provide sufficient detail on all of the provisions. Therefore, CBO cannot provide a cost estimate for the proposal without additional detail, and, even if such detail were provided, analyzing the proposal would be a time-consuming process that could not be completed this week.
And furthermore, the Obama plan has more rationing in it than the Pelosi plan, in order to give way back to the Pelosi plan. It's the schemes that are laughable, the Overton Windows which probably not many had heard of before now. Read about it.
