U.S Congressman Tom McClintock Questions Richard Foster, Chief Actuary for Medicare and Medicaid

- February 2011
-- 
The House Budget Committee held a hearing January 26th to examine the fiscal consequences of the new health care law.  Testimony was offered at the hearing by Richard Foster, Chief Actuary for Medicare and Medicaid.  During testimony at the hearing Congressman McClintock asked the actuary if Obamacare will bring costs down, and if people who like their current plans can keep them.  The exchange went as follows:  

McClintock: "True or false: The two principal promises that were made in support of Obamacare were one, that it would hold costs down. True or false"?

Foster: "I would say false, more so than true." 

McClintock: "The other promise... was the promise that if you like your plan, you can keep it. True or false"?

Foster: "Not true in all cases."
 

The exchange was covered widely in the media as part of the debate about healthcare and Congressman McClintock discussed the hearing that evening on the Great Van Susteren Show.  This week the Budget Committee will hold a hearing on the state of the United States economy and will hear testimony from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

House Healthcare Repeal Remarks - US Congressman Tom McClintock
On January 18th Congressman McClintock made remarks on the House floor noting that the central promises of Obamacare were that it would bend health costs down and wouldn't threaten existing plans, and that both claims have proven to be false. 

Repealing Obamacare
House Chamber, Washington, D.C. 

M. Speaker:  The central promises of Obamacare were that it would bend health costs down and wouldn't threaten existing plans.

We now know that both these claims were false.

The CBO warns that this law will increase average private premiums by $2,100 within five years above what they otherwise would have been without Obamacare.  The administration's own actuary admits that the law bends the cost curve up – not down – by $311 billion over the next ten years.
 
And we now know that many existing plans are indeed jeopardized and that scores of companies that offered their employees basic plans have either dropped them or continue them only with waivers left to the whims of Administration officials.

But the most dangerous provision of this law is the federal government's assertion that it has the power to force every American to purchase products the government believes they should purchase, whether or not they want them, need them, or can afford them.

ObamaCare Repeal Begins Despite Democrats’ Protests
Source: Human Events - Editor's note:  Paul Ryan's sums up the true cost of ObamaCare the best:
Problems in the accounting included:
* Disregarding the $115 billion needed to implement the law;
* Double-counting $521 billion in Social Security payroll taxes ($53 billion), CLASS Act premiums ($70 billion), and Medicare cuts ($398 billion);
* Ignoring the costly “doc-fix” provision;
* Comparing different time frames: 10 years of revenues (tax increases) to offset six years of new spending.
The Budget Committee cites the actual cost of ObamaCare when fully implemented will be $2.7 trillion and add $700 billion to the deficit in the first 10 years.

Changing Their Tune, Obama Administration Defends ObamaCare Insurance Mandate as a Tax
Source: NY Times  Editor's note:  This is yet another broken promise (aka lie) from Barack Obama to the American People.   I have never seen an American President blantly lie to the American people since the Nixon Administration.  Just last September, Obama's interview with George Stephanopoulos on the ABC News program “This Week.”, revealed that ObamaCare penalty on those not purchasing health insurance was not considered as a "tax".  When Mr. Stephanopoulos said the penalty appeared to fit the dictionary definition of a tax, Mr. Obama replied, “I absolutely reject that notion.”  Share
