The Truth About Obama's Health Care Plan... It Probably Won't Happen As He Promised

Tuesday January 6, 2009
If you already read my article about Obama's Proposed Health Care Plan, which was written before the election, you knew I was skeptical about his promises. Well, it seems like others have finally reviewed the details more thoroughly and have also come to the same conclusion.

According to www.foxnews.com, "In his pursuit of national health care reform, President-elect Barack Obama has repeatedly promised Americans two big things:

-- that if they like the health insurance they have today, nothing will change, and

-- that his health reform plan will save the typical American family $2,500 annually in health care costs.

Yet, if Obama sticks with the health proposals he has outlined so far, it is highly unlikely that either of these promises can be kept. And that’s putting it charitably."
