President Obama can’t be serious when he talks about cutting costs. Just look at what he wants to put in law. His proposal, as well as the bills passed by the House and Senate, expand government programs, increase entitlement spending, add a plethora of new taxes which will be passed down to consumers, limit competition by limiting health plans to only the insurers chosen by politicians and political appointees in the proposed exchanges, add price controls, mandate that everyone buy health insurance no matter the cost, and fine those who refuse to buy health insurance. The bill costs $2.5 trillion when fully implemented. The president plans to increase costs and increase controls. There’s no cost cutting in the mix. This is a big spending program paid for by the confiscation of hard-earned dollars from citizens.
