HHS Sec. Kathleen Sibelius has an article about Obamacare in the WP that is today's snort-worthy news. Just one example here. Pretty sad when your lies are not even backed up by the very people working under you.

Quote:It’s astonishing that the administration expects anyone to buy this stuff.

Sebelius argues first that:

In the decade before the law was passed, national health expenditures increased about 7 percent a year. But in the past two years, those increases have dropped to less than 4 percent per year, saving Americans more than $220 billion.

It takes real chutzpah for the Obama administration to make this argument. As the administration’s own actuaries and experts have pointed out, the slower growth of health spending has been very largely a product of the weak economy of the Obama years, and has essentially nothing to do with Obamacare. In fact, the very HHS document that the online version of Sebelius’s op-ed links readers to in that very paragraph quoted above says “the low rate of estimated growth in overall health spending in 2011 largely reflects the lingering effects of the recent recession and modest recovery.” Modest indeed.
