Jon Kyl (R AZ) again says premium costs will go up under the Senate plan.
Prez Obama takes a third grade teacher role in explaining the CBO report: "If a person has a high deductible plan with no other coverage and the Senate plan goes into effect they can opt to buy a better coverage plan for the same cost. It's like buying an apple now and then finding out you can buy an orange for the same cost or a bit more. Of course if you like you can keep the apple, it will just cost less . . ." (paraphrasing)
Obama goes on to point out that insurance companies reduce the size of the insured pool by dropping high risk/sick clients but not reducing costs to the remaining healthy policy holders. He then takes on John Boner, I mean Boehner, by name looking him right in the face on that topic. Boner, I mean Boehner, says NOTHING so Jon Kyle steps in to speak for Boner, I mean Boehner. These "leaders" reallllllly don't want to get any of this on them!
The avoidance of R leadership in this conversation is absolutely amazing and so obvious that it's comedic.
