White House 'Reality Check’ Web Site Claims Health Care Reform ‘Would Not Add One Penny to Deficit’ Despite CBO Reports to Contrary

CNSNews.com) – A new Web site launched Monday by the Obama administration to rebut alleged disinformation about the administration's efforts to reform the health care system claims that reform “would not add one penny to the deficit"--despite the fact that the two health care reform bills that have been analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office are predicted by the CBO to increase the national debt by $239 billion and $1.042 trillion respectively.

The administration, meanwhile, has not produced any health-care reform legislation that has been independently determined to be deficit-neutral.

Appearing on CNN yesterday, Linda Douglass, communications director for the White House Office of Health Reform, said that the new Web site that premiered today has been designed to defeat disinformation and make sure people "can get the facts" about health care reform.

It won't add one penny to the deficit. It will add trillions of dollars to the deficit.

Can the administration be sued for bald -faced lying and disinformation? If I buy a new laptop on credit,it creates a deficit, I have spent money that is no longer available to spend on something else, but if I buy a week in intensive care ,the cost will go away like magic?

“Reality Check” in Obamese means “spun fantasy you can believe in (if you want to)”.

The interesting aspect of the rise and now fall of Barack Obama is his manic-depressive dishonesty. He went further up in having people believe in him to begin, and now is falling further down than any other living politician. No sane person who can tie their shoes in the morning can believe this claim that his health care plan will not add a penny to the deficit.

Finally, the Emperor is buck nekkid. Spread the word. See below.

“would not add one penny to the deficit”

Who IS going to pay and how much? If they don’t have the money you get no medical treatment. That is what Obamacare is telling you.

Remember, nothing in this world is free. It cost someone, someplace, something!

It is still there. See

http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck/faq/

Q: This legislation is going to cost more than a trillion dollars: how can we afford that?

A: The majority of the initiatives that would pay for reform will come from cutting waste, fraud, and abuse within existing government health programs; ending big subsidies to insurance companies; and increasing efficiency with such steps as coordinating care and streamlining paperwork.

...
...

Health insurance reform would be fully paid for over 10 years, and it would not add one penny to the deficit.

Simply breath taking. The cold-blooded bastards are betting the farm on their bedrock core belief we’ll all blindly pursue that “free lunch,” being dangled before us; that we’ll continue believing in the Tooth Fairy and his deficit neutral health care plan.
