It appears that Democrats have lost sight of what they set out to accomplish with the health care bill. Worst. Bill. Ever.
This legislation will not reduce health-care costs; the Obama administration’s own actuaries have just reported that it will increase them. It is unlikely to make Americans healthier: The evidence tying extensions of insurance to improved health outcomes is surprisingly weak. Insurance will reduce the financial anxiety of some people; but others will find theirs increased. Some will still lack insurance, but now have to pay a fine for the privilege. Some will be paying higher premiums and taxes.
So, why do they continue? So Obama can give himself an A.
Bravo.
