Breaking: Major Justification for ObamaCare Is BS

Wow, wow, and...wow. Each and every foundational justification for the Democrats healthcare takeover, er reform, plan is succumbing to the vapors. First was perhaps the biggest lie of them all, that the Dems' dream legislation would be deficit neutral, that it wouldn't cost anything. Well the CBO dashed that rotten tomato against the wall. Then there were a series of smaller claims that have run into trouble - like that preventative care will save money, or that people will be able to keep their current healthcare - or are still vigorously contested. But now, perhaps the second or third core justification of the Dems plan - that government involvement will bring costs down by making insurance companies honest - is looking like a stinker, courtesy again of the CBO. (BTW if Doug Elmendorf is not a runaway favorite for this year's "Most Courageous and Intellectually Honest Person" Award, I don't know who is.)

So, let's review the major pillars of ObamaCare, or more truthfully PelosiCare, and where they stand:
1) It Will Cover the Uninsured - it would cover a good portion, but not all of the uninsured, and may even toss millions onto the uninsured rolls;
2) It Won't Cost Anything - sheer poppycock, it will be ginormously expensive;
3) It Will Bring Insurance Premiums Down - whoops, not so fast.

Gotta dash, but you can bet I will revisit this when I have more time...
