Obama Officials Sat On Damning Obamacare Info Until After Congressional Vote
Gateway Pundit ^ | Friday, April 30, 2010 | Jim Hoft

The Obama-Pelosi Regime took control of one-sixth of the nation’s economy when they passed their nationalized health care bill and signed it into law in late March. The bill was never popular but democrats persisted and rammed the bill through Congress. Now, there are reports that the Obama Administration sat on damning information and hid it from the public until after their bill was passed into law.

On Monday the American Spectator reported that a damning health care report generated by actuaries at the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department was given to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the health care vote. Sebelius and the Obama Administration reportedly hid the report from the public until a month after democrats rammed their nationalized health care bill through Congress.

The Prowler reported:

The economic report released last week by Health and Human Services, which indicated that President Barack Obama’s health care ‘reform’ law would actually increase the cost of health care and impose higher costs on consumers, had been submitted to the office of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the Congressional votes on the bill, according to career HHS sources, who added that Sebelius’s staff refused to review the document before the vote was taken. ‘The reason we were given was that they did not want to influence the vote,” says an HHS source. ‘Which is actually the point of having a review like this, you would think.’…’We know a copy was sent to the White House via their legislative affairs staff,’ says the HHS staffer, ‘and there were a number of meetings here almost right after the analysis was submitted to the secretary’s office.…”

The Dems had their "hearings" and press conferences every other day when the Republicans were in control.

Why can't the Reps grow a pair and do the same? Be insurgent for once?

Given how this jack squat administration and Dems handled the whole entire healthcare legislative process (i.e.: backdoor deals, exclusion of Repubs, working the bill(s) behind literal closed doors, etc.), I have NO doubts at all that this report is true, no doubts.

"The reason we were given was that they did not want to influence the vote"...

It probably would not have, since the vote was 100% emotional and had nothing to do with facts, anyway.

You mean you hope it gets MSM coverage? Don't bet on it.

Washington, DC, A nesting place for the most corrupt, lying, arrogant, elected POS that this great country has ever seen.

That foul odor you smell in the early morning, wherever you live, is coming from this sewer. The smell is so bad that the rats and maggots have move out to better living conditions.

It’s not in the NYT or on CBS. It didn’t happen.

Oblahblah should be excommunicated, impeached, sued, jailed, publically mocked, banned from our nation, ridiculed, removed and questioned unceasingly.

I’m surprised the number isn’t higher by now. The first few days it took off and now it’s stagnate.

Thanks for posting the link, again.

American Spectator stands by report, with more info at source.
I hope this gets interesting.

Don't hold your breath ... other than American Spectator this story has gone nowhere up to this point. The liberal MSM, if it comes to their attention, will quickly bury it.
