Only 19% of Americans Believe Obama’s Claim about Health Care not Adding to the Deficit
“Today the latest Quinnipiac Poll tells us that only 19% of voters believe that Mr. Obama’s health-care reform won’t add to the deficit. The rest of us have reason to be skeptical. The bill includes all sorts of budget gimmicks, two of which illustrate that there is no fiscal restraint in it. One calls for steep cuts in Medicare and the other imposes a 40% excise tax on private, gold-plated health plans. It’s just not plausible that this Congress will actually cut Medicare or tax health plans the unions have spent decades creating.”
