The president who promised the most transparent administration uses people that use the lack of transparency to pass legislation. Nice. Oh, and the lie about this being a Republican idea: if the Heritage plan had been enacted (it wasnt 20 years ago because it was a bad idea then), there would have been no need to write in a tortured way to hide anything from CBO or the American public. “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” says the MIT economist who helped write Obamacare. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.” Heres the White House commitment to transparency: whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment Anyone want to explain why the president deserves respect? Now that the first year has nearly passed, expect another round of premium hikes and fewer people signing up. If the administration wants to spike the ball with increased Medicaid coverage, then thats what the bill should have been in the first place. But why waste a lie on small things?
