HHS: OBAMACARE WOULD MAKE COSTS RISE

“The nation's medical costs will keep spiraling upward even faster than they are now under Democratic legislation pending in the House, a report from government economic experts concluded. [T]he report from the [HHS] Office of the Actuary ... carried an unusual disclaimer, saying that it "does not represent an official position" of Health and Human Services.”

From Hot Air: “We should ask why the administration doesn’t pay attention to its own analysis. Perhaps it’s because the ObamaCare push has always been about ideology over rational policy.”

Ed Morrissey has the right idea:

A combination of health-savings accounts with a move away from comprehensive insurance to catastrophic coverage would not only better serve Americans but would result in a massive boost to the health-care industry.

If only the Obama administration was half as smart.
