Obama's illusions of cost-control

Obama's illusions of cost-control - washingtonpost.com
"How often, for example, have you heard the emergency-room argument?

The uninsured, it's said, use emergency rooms for primary care.
That's expensive and ineffective.
Once they're insured, they'll have regular doctors.
Care will improve; costs will decline.
Everyone wins.
Great argument.
Unfortunately, it's untrue.

A study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that the insured accounted for 83 percent of emergency-room visits, reflecting their share of the population."

The main reason is the liberal MSM "reports" EVERYTHING the lying liberals tell them.
