Obama demonstrably wrong about the cost of Obamacare

 Monica Showalter:

This wouldn't exactly be news to anyone who has to buy Obamacare health care insurance...

But for perspective, here's the latest on the 2010 government health care takeover that had been so vaunted in the press as Your-Government-Here-To-Help:


Tripled? We've got 7.9% inflation at last count, so this 'tripling,' even over the course of 12 years, with compounding increments, tops that.

So much for President Obama's claim that his signature health care bill would cut insurance costs and everyone would be so grateful and happy.

The archived White House website page had all the promises of rainbows and unicorns:

Obamacare, though, was far from just Obama's baby. Its loudest cheerleader was "b-f-d" Joe Biden....

Being a Democrat means never having to say you are sorry and never b being held responsible for the lies used to sell bad policies.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
