Obama Addresses Concerns Over Health-Care Costs

If we don’t get health care reform done now, then no one’s health insurance is going to be secure, because you’re going to continue to see premiums going up at astronomical rates, out-of-pocket costs going up at astronomical rates, and people who lose their jobs or have a preexisting medical condition or changing their jobs finding themselves in a situation where they cannot get health care.

And that’s not a future that I accept for the United States of America. That’s why those who are betting against this happening this year are badly mistaken.

We are going to get this done. We will reform health care. It will happen this year. I’m absolutely convinced of that.

CBO disses Obama’s health care reform

Director Douglas Elmendorf told the Senate Budget Committee Thursday:

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. On the contrary, the legislation significantly expands the federal responsibility.

Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty.

It’s crisis, we have to act now, disaster awaits…..

Where have we heard that before?
