Lets get right to my first reads of the morning. President obama will make another seemingly endless attempt to do what has become his great et domestic challenge, selling the Health Care Law to the american public. This morning, hell argue that implementation of Health Care Reform is already working. And hell hold up as proof half a billion dollars of rebates the white house says Insurance Companies are being forced to make to 8. 5 Million Consumers. We hear a lot about what the law might do or could do. But tomorrow, the president will detail one concrete way that americans who have Health Insurance today are affected by the law. This summer, 8. 5 Million Consumers are receiving half a billion dollars in rebates. The president will also highlight a new study from the department of health and Human Services suggesting that insurance premiums for 2014 will be lower in states operating their own insurance. Premiums for some new yorkers are expected to be up to 50 cheaper when the states
Darrell issa is never a shy questioner when it comes to these things. He runs the thousands Oversight Committee. He describes it as obamacare through deception. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage age. Call it the stupidity of the American Voter or whatever, bit was critical to get is passed. We just tax Insurance Companies and they pass it on to the consumers. Its a clever exploitation of the basic lack of understanding about it American Voter. Turns out political chicago its hard to get rid of and the only way we could take it on was by mislabeling. Calling it a tax on Insurance Companies when we all nots really a tax on the American People who hold the plans. Martha hes not the only one testifying today, right . He will be joined by the administrators of the medicare services. She does not want to be seated next to mr. Gruber. Lawmakers are going to put them together and dig down on some of those comments he made about the lack of transparency as it relates to laying
administrator came before us and testified there were 7.3 million people and i quote this carefully, health ibs marketplace coverage health insurance marketplace coverage. that tortured language had not previously been used and it followed a series of document requests in which we discovered that in fact 7.3 million would have to include a fairly large 400,000 individual in more or less $50 dental plans. obviously when you say you met a goal and the difference between making a goal and not making a goal are plans nobody would consider a key element of the affordable care act. hhs initially failed to provide any documents to explain how the numbers were had been interpreted. october 1, 2014 the committee

coverage. all she had to pay was the deductible and out of pocket costs. what is in dispute is disability. megyn: is it true they led us to believe the mother did not have health insurance and that is one of the prime motivations why president obama understands what americans are going through. i guess it s in the eyes of the beholder. i m misty eyed listening to it. the question here is is it misleading to say health ibs? there is no question there is a disability claim here. there was a preexisting condition. a doctor suspected but did not say to her. it was several hundred dollars a month. they said you are not getting disability because you had a
