The Big Lie on Health Reform

Today i read a post from econlog ()

It stated a very powerful point that perhaps there was a bigger lie in the health plan presented by the president last week, than the plan not covering illegal immigrants. It said:

"if you're one of the tens of millions of Americans who don't currently have health insurance, the second part of *THIS plan will finally offer you quality, affordable choices. "

"Under *THIS plan, it will be against the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage because of a preexisting condition."

"under *MY plan, individuals will be required to carry basic health insurance"
*
"It [the public option] is only part of MY plan"

"we've estimated that most of *THIS plan can be paid for by finding savings within the existing health care system"

"the plan *I'M proposing will cost around $900 billion over 10 years"

"The only thing *THIS plan would eliminate is the hundreds of billions of dollars in waste and fraud, as well as unwarranted subsidies in Medicare that go to insurance companies"

What is misleading about these statements, is that each of them referred to a plan being proposed by Obama. HIS plan. A plan that, strictly speaking, does not exist. As far as I know, the Obama Administration never submitted a plan to Congress.

So 'His' plan that he spoke of, isn't even real...

"You LIE!"
