Secret

The Republicans learned a lesson from Obamacare and that is to pass it in secret. They screamed bloody murder when this happened but now they are doing the same thing because if the planning were made public the other party would destroy it before it got started. Remember we have to pass it to find out what’s in it. Recall the goal was to keep the cost under 1 trillion over the first ten years. This was achieved by starting the plan in 2010 but not starting benefits until 2014 so the cost was really for 6 years not ten. To add insult to injury the actual cost came in at 2 trillion. Most people don’t know this and many who do, don’t seem to care. Like I have often said we get the government we deserve. Leaders in the House and Senate have a plan to pass President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care plan by Thanksgiving without any significant participation by the American public. While it is disturbing that the public did not know what was in the plan it is even more disturbing that many in congress were for the plan before it was writing and most voted for it without having read it.
