Obama Administration Report Confirms Speaker Pelosis Bill Increases Health Care Costs

Congressman John Boehner filmed the following web video last week in response an analysis by nonpartisan, independent experts at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requested by House Ways & Means Ranking Republican Dave Camp (R-MI) on Speaker Nancy Pelosis (D-CA) health care bill. The report unequivocally shows that Speaker Pelosis bill would raise national health care costs not lower them as the Speaker and House Democrats have asserted by $289 billion if it were enacted. Boehner says:

"In the lead up to a vote in Congress on her health care bill, Speaker Pelosi claimed her bill would provide affordability to the middle class, security to our seniors, and responsibility to our children by not adding a dime to the deficit.

"On Friday, the Obama Administration released a troubling analysis by independent, non-partisan experts at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) showing just how far from the truth Speaker Pelosis claims actually are.

"This report once again discredits Democrats assertions that their $1.3 trillion government takeover of health care will lower costs, and it confirms that this bill violates President Obamas promise to bend the cost curve. Its now beyond dispute that their bill will raise costs, which is exactly what the American people dont want.

"It is also clear that the $500 billion in Medicare cuts in Speaker Pelosis bill will have a drastic impact on senior citizens. In fact, after reading the CMS study the Washington Post reported that cuts will be so costly to hospitals and nursing homes that they could stop taking Medicare altogether.

"It doesnt have to be this way. Democrats should scrap their current proposal and work in a bipartisan way on a plan to lower costs and increase access at a price tag our nation can afford.

Hi Mr.Boehner!

Keep'em Straight!

[cultfighter]

Real patriots get a bad name from these teagagger chicken hawks like Dickless Cheney and his five deferments. These MORON Republicans cause the country to crumble and refuse to help fix it. In the middle of a Republican Recession they blame Obama ! That is like shitting their pants and blaming the new President and standing there with shit running down their leg while they refuse to change their pants.

I know there is fraud, waste and abuse. Any where there is money and any where there is people it will always be that way. I know there are billions of dollars in foreign aid but like I said that has been going on for years. But it isn't like it started with the Obama administration. We aren't talking about that here. We are talking about millions of americans to poor or with pre existing conditions having make a choice between roof or life. This bill isn't perfect but is better than many have.

[quizerry]

Those are State entities and are in our Constitution. It is the federal Government is out of control. People that don't know or understand it should do some reading on where your federal tax dollars are being wasted on fraud abuse, poorly run inefficient programs. As well as federal aid to States (88.000 entities) and Corporate welfare( billions to corps). Why does proctor and gamble or pfizer get fed money to do what they are in business for to develope and market products?

[quizerry]

4) US deficits caused by Bush 8 years of economic (Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, ....).
