Obama Corrects Himself on Insurance Premiums
President Obama just admitted he was incorrect in his earlier exchange with Sen. Alexander, and that the Senate bill will raise premiums by $2,100 on average per family in the non-group market. He defended this though, saying that people would get “better” coverage – because Washington bureaucrats forced them to buy it. But the focal point of the President’s campaign plan was that his proposal would “save $2,500 annually for [the average] family.”
How is breaking a campaign promise to raise costs for working families “change we can believe in?”
