It should be obvious by now that the Obama-Pelosi regime lied about most everything in their health care bill before they rammed it through Congress.
Here’s the latest example:
In their health care report (screengrab above) Barack Obama and Joe Biden promised Americans:
Under the plan, if you like your current health insurance, nothing changes, except your costs will go down by as much as $2,500 per year.
It was a lie.
Your costs will not go down “by as much as $2,500 per year.” Instead you can expect to pay more… Starting next year.
The Republican.Senate.Gov released this report today:
“Workers Will Pay More For Their Health Care Next Year As U.S. Companies Prepare For Provisions Of The Overhaul Signed Into Law By President Barack Obama”
“Workers Will Pay More For Their Health Care Next Year As U.S. Companies Prepare For Provisions Of The Overhaul Signed Into Law By President Barack Obama, According To A Survey Released Today. About 63 Percent Of Businesses Plan To Make Employees Pay A Higher Percentage Of Their Premium Costs In 2011, said the Washington-based National Business Group on Health, which surveyed 72 companies that employ more than 3.7 million people. The survey showed 46 percent plan to raise the maximum level of out-of-pocket costs that workers must bear. The companies surveyed expect health-care benefits costs to increase an average of 8.9 percent next year.” (“Health Plans To Take Bigger Bite Out Of Paychecks, Survey Shows,” Bloomberg, 8/18/10)
• “About 57 Percent Of The Employers In Today’s Study Said Their Workers Paid A Higher Portion Of Their Premiums This Year, And 36 Percent Of The Companies Increased The Out-Of-Pocket Maximums This Year.” (“Health Plans To Take Bigger Bite Out Of Paychecks, Survey Shows,” Bloomberg, 8/18/10)
“New Mandates Under The Legislation Signed Into Law By Obama In March Will Contribute To The Increase, Helen Darling, the business group’s president, said in a telephone interview yesterday.” (“Health Plans To Take Bigger Bite Out Of Paychecks, Survey Shows,” Bloomberg, 8/18/10)
UPDATE: Via HotAir:
Large companies will get hit with 9% increase in health costs under ObamaCare
