David Harsanyi on Obamacare's Newest Fraud

|

If the Obama administration expended as much creative energy saving taxpayers money as it does obscuring the costs of Obamacare, we'd probably have a program worth saving. But from day one, the health care law has been larded with double-counting gimmickry to conceal its $1 trillion price tag. It started by measuring eight years of services against 10 years of taxes, writes David Harsanyi, and it has continued with an avalanche of waivers that shield friends of the White House from the cost of the very law they helped pass.
