Peter Orszag: These Aren’t the Budget Gimmicks You’re Looking For
  • Here’s budget director Peter Orszag writing on his White House blog today: Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to a claim that this deficit reduction is achieved only through a business-as-usual Washington budget gimmick: paying for just a few years of costs with many more years of savings. This charge is simply false—and let’s get the facts straight. First, it’s true that loading savings up front and costs in [...]
    • Obama on Health Care Reform: Let’s Go Bankrupt Faster
  • The video of Obama’s townhall appearance in New Mexico is seven minutes long, but worth watching if you care about the future of health care in America: Let’s diagram his answer (shame on you if you’re too lazy to watch the clip): I campaigned on reform…I’m optimistic about getting it done Health Care is 1/6 our our economy…we have to be practical Principles Control Costs – “If we insured everyone [...]
    • Legacy of Health Reform: Fiscal Disaster
  • This Peter Suderman piece at Reason is a must read primer on the recent history of grandiose health reform plans. A sample: As spectacular failures go, it’s hard to do worse than Tennessee. This early state attempt to dramatically increase health coverage, dubbed TennCare, started off promisingly. In 1994, the first year of its operation, the system added half a million new individuals to its rolls. Premiums were cheap—just $2.74 [...]
    • Health Reform Savings Myth
  • The Washington Post, yesterday: “Health-care reform is entitlement reform” has become a mantra of the Obama administration. The idea is that Congress can add a massive health-care program this year — covering the uninsured — and use the same measures that pay for the health reform to fix the broader budget problems. If that sounds too good to be true, there’s a reason. Expanding insurance to cover the 46 million [...]
    • Video: Sebelius Praises Abortion Accounting Trick in Senate Bill
  • As you are probably already aware, Democratic Senator Ben Nelson caved over the weekend on his objections to the Senate health based on abortion coverage. Nelson had originally insisted on language matching the Stupak amendment from the House bill, which would effectively ban abortion coverage within any government-funded health insurance plan. The “compromise” Nelson ultimately agreed to is virtually identical to the much weaker language from the original Senate Finance [...]
    • Time on Health Care Dilemmas
  • Karen Tumulty, writing for Time, has a piece about the 5 big health care dilemmas. It’s worth reading if you haven’t paid attention up to this point. If you have, here’s the most interesting bits: It is now possible to glimpse the outlines of a Grand Deal among insurers, providers, business, labor and patients that would put most of its focus on lowering costs and establish a foundation for expanding [...]
    • Don’t Be Fooled By $600B Price Tag on Senate Health Bill (It’s $1 Trillion Short)
  • The big headline on healthcare today is that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has scored the latest bill coming out of the Senate Health Committee (Kennedy/Dodd) at a net budgetary cost of slightly over $600 billion. Which is well under the $1 trillion estimate from the CBO on an earlier version of this bill just a couple of weeks ago. And even more incredible, the CBO estimates that this updated [...]
    • Ezra Klein’s Take on the Republican Health Care Bill
  • Typical is probably the best way to say it: CBO begins with the baseline estimate that 17 percent of legal, non-elderly residents won’t have health-care insurance in 2010. In 2019, after 10 years of the Republican plan, CBO estimates that …17 percent of legal, non-elderly residents won’t have health-care insurance. The Republican alternative will have helped 3 million people secure coverage, which is barely keeping up with population growth. Compare [...]
    • Ezra Klein Takes on Paul Ryan and Fails
  • Update: Paul Ryan responds to Ezra here. Perhaps he saw this IBD piece asking why there has been no response to Paul Ryan’s critique of the numbers? In any case, Ezra Klein tries to respond to Ryan. He begins by wisely conceding at least half of Ryan’s argument: In Ryan’s favor, Democrats have artificially lowered the cost of the bill by pushing its start date back to 2014, even as [...]

    • Single Payer Physicians Urge Defeat of Health Reform

    John on December 22, 2009 at 1:39 pm

    A press release from their website:

    Congress’ capitulation to insurers – along with concessions to the pharmaceutical industry – fatally undermines the economic viability of reform. The bill would inflate the already crushing burden of insurance-related paperwork that currently siphons $400 billion from care annually. According to CMS’ own projections, the bill will cause U.S. health costs to increase even more rapidly than presently, and budget neutrality is to be achieved by draining funds from Medicare and an accounting trick – front-loading the new revenues while delaying most new coverage until 2014. As homeowners seduced into balloon mortgages have learned, pushing costs off to the future is neither prudent nor sustainable.

    So true. Of course the only reason we’re stuck with this turkey is single payer advocates thought it was a passable path to get to what they really want.

      This is why I like your site, guys. You have little snippets of things that no one else does, and sometimes bigger snippets of things (i.e. single-payer video)!

      I thank Mark Levin for mentioning you on air. It really is a great site.
