... "Congressman Price is rightfully regarded as one of the brightest minds we have when it comes to healthcare. What I find particularly interesting is that we have been proposing alternatives to Obamacare since day one. Price’s Empowering Patients First Act of 2009 manages to both increase the number of insured Americans and save us trillions of dollars, two of Obamacare’s biggest failures.
"These facts are far from manufactured. In fact, Douglaz Hotlz-Eakin*, the former director of the Congressional Budget Office conducted an independent review of the proposal, and found that the number of insured Americans would actually increase by 29% by 2016, which is a relief after wave after wave of Obamacare cancellations.
"Surely this must be expensive, right? Again, false. Holtz-Eakin’s study also predicted that Price’s bill would actually save $2.3 trillion over the next ten years. Remember when Obama promised that Obamacare won’t “add one dime to our deficit?' ”
