Cartoonish explanation of reform
Quote:
This Kaiser/Cokie Roberts cartoon explaining ObamaCare is getting a lot of attention. Great production values…
… but lousy on substance. Here’s why. It parrots the administration’s line that the bill brings down the deficit, but it doesn’t discuss:
—The cost of implementing the law, which the CBO says will be well over $100 billion
—The payment reductions that Medicare’s chief actuary admits will drive many health providers out of business
—The “doc fix” that could cost more than $300 billion
Other than that, the cartoon is great!
Joe Antos will have more on the high costs of ObamaCare on American.com tomorrow.
