Surprise, surprise: Obama's health care plan is going to cost lots more than he said it would!

June 12 (Bloomberg) -- Health-care overhaul legislation being drafted by House Democrats will include $600 billion in tax increases and $400 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel said.

Democrats will work on the bill’s details next week as they struggle through “what kind of heartburn” it will cause to agree on how to pay for revamping the health-care system, Rangel, a New York Democrat, said today. He also said the measure’s cost will reach beyond the $634 billion President Barack Obama proposed in his budget request to Congress as a down payment for the policy changes.

Asked whether the cost of a health-care overhaul would be more than $1 trillion, Rangel said, “the answer is yes.”

Loose lips sink ships

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (you know, the guy who didn't pay his taxes even though he knew about them but still got a cushy Obama job) accidentally let slip that POTUS doesn't like his real job (protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States) as much as he likes his avocation: MESSIAH.

Mr. Geithner made a telling slip when he told the House Ways and Means Committee that the budget reflects what the president views as “a deep moral imperative to make society more just.”
