Make Them Own It

Here’s Drudge below-the-fold this morning.

What’s it all about? Here’s the first story from the AP, courtesy of Hot Air:

Your medical plan is facing an unexpected expense, so you probably are, too. It’s a new, $63-per-head fee to cushion the cost of covering people with pre-existing conditions under President Obama’s health care overhaul.

The charge, buried in a recent regulation, works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, employers say. Most of that is likely to be passed on to workers.

Peanuts compared to what ObamaCare is already doing to your premiums, but it’s a far cry from the $2,500 a year Obama promised to save you and your family.

This next story is especially sweet:

In a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid, 18 Democrat senators and senators-elect have asked for “a delay in the implementation” of the Obamacare medical device tax. Like most of the significant tax increases in Obamacare, the medical device tax is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, conveniently after the 2012 presidential election.

Each of the 18 Democrat signatories voted for or supported Obamacare in the first place. And now they want a sweetheart exemption from one of its most onerous provisions.

Screw them. The Democrats wanted power over your health care, and they took it. Now they must bear the responsibility that power entails.
