A Hillary email gem about Obamacare
In a dump of Hillary emails, one that hasn't been discussed much was from Neera Tanden, a WH health care staffer. In it, Ms. Tanden admitted that there was little in the form of cost controls in the AFA, despite public manifestations to the contrary. ( Link to WSJ )

Quote:what President Obama’s aides were telling Mrs. Clinton about the Affordable Care Act, which was the opposite of what their boss was telling the public....In an Oct. 19, 2009 email, Mrs. Clinton asked Ms. Tanden, “Are you worried about the lack of cost controls in the current bills?” Ms. Tanden replied that “the dirty little secret is that we don’t have a lot of good evidence on what works—in a way that Congress has any appetite to do. I mean, cost controls, as we all know, is [sic] attacked as rationing. So everyone likes to discuss this, including the Administration, but then on the other hand, says they won’t touch the benefits. Now there is a lot of fat in the system, but some of that excess is just too much care. Yet no one really wants care to be restricted.”....Not a month earlier, the President had promised Congress that the bill would save “hundreds of billions of dollars,”

This is what has always irritated me. NO WAY anyone with a fraction of the information didn't know that these promises couldn't possibly work.

......and they've known all along that "rationing" would have to come into play to "control costs", but have blatantly lied about it knowing the public would revolt.

The ends always justify the means with these folks - that's why they are so scary.
