OBAMA: [M]y proposal would bring down the cost of health care for families, for businesses, and for the federal government. So Americans buying comparable coverage to what they have today -- I already said this -- would see premiums fall by 14 to 20 percent -- that’s not my numbers, that’s what the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says -- for Americans who get their insurance through the workplace. How many people are getting insurance through their jobs right now? Raise your hands. All right. Well, a lot of those folks, your employer it’s estimated would see premiums fall by as much as 3,000 percent [sic], which means they could give you a raise.
How can something fall by 3,000 percent?
Can you imagine what the reaction would be if President Bush said that?
Here's another problem, from the same event:
OBAMA: And she upped her deductible last year to the minimum [sic], the highest possible deductible.
What?
Obama the Brilliant.
It's obivious the President meant to say $3,000
ReplyDeleteA 14-20% drop in premiums could save the employer $3,000 a year.
For example, if the employer is paying $15,000 a year for insurance premiums and the premiums drop 20% that is a savings of $3,000.
Yeah, it's obvious that Obama was off teleprompter.
