October 12, 2009: American Businesses Strike Back Against ObamaCare

To date, the biggest failure of the Obama administration has been their inability to pass healthcare "reform." And more ugly details about ObamaCare seep out with each passing day. Today's ugly detail is a bombshell.

Seems like ObamaCare isn't going to be as "free" and "universal" as previously lied about thought:

After months of collaboration on President Obama's attempt to overhaul the nation's health-care system, the insurance industry plans to strike out against the effort on Monday with a report warning that the typical family premium in 2019 could cost $4,000 more than projected.

Ouch. And in typical Obama fashion, the administration attempted to silence the report through veiled threats and intimidation:

Officials from the association, which represents 39 independent insurers nationwide, met Wednesday with Nancy-Ann DeParle, head of the White House Office of Health Reform, who "vigorously challenged their assumptions and urged them to reconsider" putting out "a flawed report," said Linda Douglass, a White House spokeswoman. Meanwhile, Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to President Barack Obama, spoke Wednesday to Mr. Williams, who she said reiterated his desire for a constructive dialogue.
