Marathon Pundit: Durbin admits ObamaCare won't lower premiums

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) finally admitted to the world this morning an obvious fact: ObamaCare will raise health insurance premiums--it will cost Americans more money.

Anyone who would stand before you and say well, if you pass health care reform, rext year's health care premiums are going down, I don't think is telling the truth. I think it is likely they would go up, but what we're trying to go is slow the rate of increase.

But just two days ago, President Obama made this statement:

Our cost-cutting measures mirror most of the proposals in the current Senate bill, which reduces most people's premiums. (President Obama, Remarks, Glenside, Pennsylvania, 3/8/10)
