By SoundOffSister | March 10, 2010 |

In his recent “pep talks” about Obamacare, the President has frequently mentioned the Congressional Budget Office’s findings to support his arguments. As I have read those findings, as well as those of the Office of the Actuary for Medicare and Medicaid (OACT) I am perplexed by the President’s comments. We are told that Obamacare will…

Steyn: Why Democrats risk control … health care is “worth it”
