Another Consequence Of "We Have To Pass The Bill So You Can Find Out What Is In It"

Today the Washington Examiner is reporting on the latest unintended consequence of Obamacare.  The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) was one of the strongest supporters of the healthcare reform bill.  They spent millions of dollars to promote the bill.  They were part of the group of supporters of the bill that repeatedly stated, "health insurance costs will not go up if Obamacare is passed and that people who like their current coverage would be able to keep that coverage."  Well, that was then; this is now.

According to the article at the Washington Examiner:

"Now along comes AARP announcing an eight to thirteen percent hike in its health insurance policy premiums charged to more than 4,500 employees, retirees and dependents.  And that's likely only the first of more such increases to come.  There are also "adjustments" coming in the AARP plan's required co-payments and deductibles."

The bottom line here is that all of us were lied to about Obamacare.  Some of the liars knew they were lying, some did not.  At any rate, now that the truth is rapidly becoming apparent, the only honorable thing to do is for Congress (and the President) to apologize to the American people for their lying and repeal the bill.  I am sure that will happen right after pigs fly.
