Obamacare will increase the costs of health care according to Medicare's Office of the Actuary. While the Office said the increase will be moderate, any government program projecting moderate increases in costs should be taken with a grain of salt. The costs will most likely skyrocket as they do with almost any government program.
However, this report shows that Obamacare will do the exact opposite of what the President and Democrats promised: bring costs down.
Obamacare will not decrease the deficit, it will not provide better care, and it will not lower costs. It will increase the deficit, make care less efficient and effective, and have a strongly negative impact on employers' willingness to hire employees because of the increase in health care benefit costs associated with Obamacare.
This will have a bad effect on the Democrats' hopes in November as a Repubilcan wave seems increasingly inevitable.
However, Obama's plan is transform America into an increasingly socialist state with massive government interventions into the free market making it decidedly less free. If fairness is Obama's objective, then everyone will have access to a fairly bad government run system modeled after Cuba, "Two federal-state programs, Medicaid and children's health insurance, will grow dramatically under the overhaul. Enrollment will jump 34 percent between 2013 and 2014, to more than 85 million people. States will be bigger players in health care -- and face new pressures over the long run."
You can't have a dynamic economy when the state plays a massive role in health care, auto manufacturing, banking, finance, construction, and pension plans. That's just reality.
