With enrollments higher than expected, and costs lower, some Democrats say it's time to stop hiding from the president's health care overhaul, even in this year's toughest Senate elections.
Republicans practically dare Democrats to embrace "Obamacare," the GOP's favorite target in most congressional campaigns. Yet pro-Democratic activists in Alaska are doing just that, and a number of strategists elsewhere hope it will spread.
President Barack Obama recently announced that first-year sign-ups for subsidized private health insurance topped 7 million, exceeding expectations. And the Congressional Budget Office — the government's fiscal scorekeeper — said it expects only a minimal increase in customers' costs for 2015. Over the next decade, the CBO said the new law will cost taxpayers $100 billion less than previously estimated.

ReplyDeleteanother lie , ho um , who cares.
ReplyDeleteThe basic assumptions of this article are lies! Pure socialist propaganda.The lies start with the very first sentence! Sign ups and paid policies are actually unknown and ALL costs reported are much higher! (unless you count those that will have their policy paid for by others)
ReplyDeleteThe press should start doing their job and reporting the TRUTH. If it's not factual call it an editorial or refuse to print it. Do not report it as news.
As long as we are using pretend numbers, let's just pretend that 30 million have signed up and stop playing this game. As for the $100 billion dollars in "savings" (a deceptive word and concept if ever there was one), compared to the original $2 trillion estimate, that is like bragging that you just save one/half cent on a ten dollar purchase.
