Remember that whole "bending the cost curve" (what does that mean, anyway?) and "lower premiums by up to $2500 for a typical family"? I don't think lefties ever believed that, anyway; I think they wanted government-run health care no matter what. It's an article of faith to them, results be damned:

Was he lying? Or just stupid and totally ignorant of economics?
Why do I have to choose just one? I lean more towards ignorance of economics, as he enacted a plan that didn't reduce costs to insurers, and foisted off any savings to taxpayers ... and $2500/yr is a completely random number, anyway ...how big does the family need to be? What sort of coverage? Etc. So, given that he had no tangible basis for that number, he's also a liar.

Yes, it does ... obviously the one pertaining to the chemical weapons being found. No idea how that happened ...
