Thema: Does Obama even understand what's in the Health Bill? Do you?
Example: Just last Friday, he told MSNBC's Chuck Todd that the law "not only makes sure everybody has access to coverage but is reducing costs."
Wrong on both counts. NOT EVERYONE will be covered and COSTS WILL NECESSARILY RISE!!!
Fact: According to the Congressional Budget Office, 10 years from now there will still be at least 21 million uninsured Americans.
You might argue that it's still an improvement over today but that's not the point. Obama says everyone will be covered and that's NOT TRUE.
Fact: Nearly half of the newly covered aren't getting access to true health insurance but are being added to the Medicaid program, with all of its attendant problems of access and quality.
Fact: The RAND Corporation reports that the new law may result in severe overcrowding and longer waits in emergency rooms.
Fact: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services warn that some of the mandated cuts in Medicare could result in the closing of up to 15 percent of US hospitals.
Doesn't sound like things will be better under Obama's plan, but far, far worse.
