Shikha Dalmia had a brilliant column in Forbes last week, reprinted at Reason this week, on “Obama’s top five lies” about health care:
- No one will be compelled to buy coverage.
- No new taxes on employer benefits.
- Government can control rising health care costs better than the private sector.
- A public plan won’t be a Trojan horse for a single-payer monopoly.
- Patients don’t have to fear rationing.
You can read why you ought to regard these claims as dubious by reading her full column.
