ORIGINAL: graceadieu Well, of course people are confused about the bill - Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, and their buddies made sure of that. How about the horse's mouth? quote:
President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul law is getting a mixed verdict in the first comprehensive look by neutral experts: More Americans will be covered, but costs are also going up. Economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department concluded in a report that the healthcare remake will achieve Obama's aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million to the coverage rolls. But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president's twin goal of controlling runaway costs, raising projected spending by about 1 percent over 10 years. That increase could get bigger, since Medicare cuts in the law may be unrealistic and unsustainable, the report warned. It's a worrisome assessment for Democrats. In particular, concerns about Medicare could become a major political liability in the midterm elections. Not Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin
