Candidate Obama vs. President Obama on healthcare
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | Health Care, Social Security |
National Review - What Obama Used to Think of Medicare Cuts:
“Now, first of all, we found out that Senator McCain wants to pay for his plan by taxing your health care benefits for the first time in history. Just like George Bush. That was bad enough. But ‘The Wall Street Journal’ recently reported that it was actually worse than we thought. It turns out Senator McCain would pay for part of his plan by making drastic cuts in Medicare. $882 billion worth. $882 billion in Medicare cuts to pay for an ill-conceived, badly thought through health care plan that won’t provide more health care to people.”
– Barack Obama on the campaign trail
Now President Obama wants to pay for his healthcare plan by … taxing health benefits and making cuts in Medicare benefits. It’s almost as if he’s making up a multi-trillion dollar national health care plan as he goes along.
