lol, you've posted it over and over. Even after I pointed out that Pelosi wouldn't even say the number was true, even after she tweeted it.

And then someone quotes from the article you've posted over and over, and you say it's untrue. It's so absurd it's hilarious.

The Washington Post said today that the Obama admin is making up the numbers:

Slower growth in the cost is because the economy is growing slowly

What's "not the truth"? That liberals don't care that people are having to pay more for their healthcare, and that many of them are questioning how the hell they're going to pay for this "affordable" plan that was forced upon them?

Or the part about how I don't enjoy watching others struggle, financially, by being forced to pay for something that they didn't want?

Or would it be the idea of allowing to pay across state lines?

Which part do you believe is "not the truth"?

But Obama’s pledge came with a very large asterisk: He was not saying premiums would fall by $2,500, but that health-care costs per person would be that much lower than anticipated. In other words, if overall costs–not just premiums–were expected to rise by $5,000 by 2012, they would only rise by $2,500. Yep, that’s what Obama’s pledge meant

The GOP attack on a dubious Obama health care pledge
LIE..

"cut the average family’s premium by about $2,500 per year."

Htf does someone who's old enough to post here, claim he meant it would fall $2500 after raising $5000 and think thats honest?

You used it as your source...if you're going to use it as your source for numbers, then disagree with other parts it says, guess what that makes you?

Did you miss the new spin on Obamas $2500 savings lie right above your posting?

He meant you'd save $2500 after premiums increased $5000..

Yeah, these people vote, and we wonder whats wrong with this country..

Lol, I can't make this stuff up. I say conservatives deny reality.... and a study done by the RAND corporation and published exclusively in the LA Times causes a lack of reading comprehension.


It is not "my" article. I didn't write it, and I didn't do any of the research that the article was based. The article belongs to the RAND corporation and the LA Times. The numbers come from the article. This is all basic stuff, why pretend otherwise.
