The CBO's Sleight of Hand On Health Care

By John Lott

- FOXNews.com

Here are two truths about the health care bill: It will dramatically
increase medical costs.

**Are Americans expected to believe Mary Rosh (sorry, John Lott Jnr), a
known liar in these matters? Or should Americans believe the actual data
which shows that every Western, developed nation that has a socialised
medical system, has dramatically lower health care costs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_system

Pay VERY close attention to the healthcare costs as a percentage of GDP.
Governments can run health care at far lower costs than (large,
profit-oriented) companies.

Nah, believe the liar. That makes much more sense.
