Congressional Budget Office director Douglas Elmendorf told lawmakers on Thursday legislation to expand health care coverage would increase federal healthcare costs "to a significant degree" and revenue will need to be found to keep from increasing the deficit. "
I hope Obama is open to other ways of expanding healthcare coverage beyond what he and the democratcs are currently proposing.
Old Joe is listening, he just has, well just let's say a novel solution.

Intersting that Obama and the dems used the CBO's numbers to defend cap and tax yet turn a blind eye when the numbers come out contrary to their agenda on health welfare.
Of course he is not listening. In fact, I'm sure he will not appreciate any questions on their analysis. He is hoping to push it through before they complete their analysis and before support for the bill reaches rock bottom.
Obama should learn from Bush's mistake. He should know that there's different ways that healthcare could be reformed. Has he seriously looked into market oriented approaches?
