Ed Morrissey at Hot Air<\/a> posted an article yesterday about a statement by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.  Evidently the Obama Administration is trying to combat the negative opinion that people have about Obamacare.  It is understandable that they would want to do this, but the method is a bit questionable.<\/p>\n

According to the article, Ms. Sebelius stated that she would not allow insurance companies to blame any rate increases on the new law: <\/p>\n

\n

“There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Simply stated, we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes and increased profits on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

(In a letter  to the <\/em>insurance lobby<\/em><\/span><\/a>,) “she warned that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that will open in 2014 under the law. They’d lose out on a big pool of customers, as many as 30 million people nationwide.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Please remember as you vote in November, that this is the face of the Democrat Administration we now have in office.  We cannot change who our President is until 2012, but we can elect a Congress that will hold him and his administration accountable.  <\/p>\n

The Congressional Budget Office has already released numbers that show Obamacare will increase the cost of healthcare and health insurance.  Massachusetts, which has had statewide healthcare and health insurance since 2006, has had increases in health insurance premiums every year since the law was enacted.  Are the insurance supposed to lie about the cause of the increases in their premiums?<\/p>\n

I have no problem with the Obama Administration claiming that the extra cost is worth it–I expect them to do that–it’s their signature legislature, but I do have a problem with their trying to muzzle anyone who dares to tell the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
