When U.S. President Barack Obama sought the presidency in 2008 he promised Americans their health care premiums would drop by $2,500 a year – during his first term. One of the big lies: “In an Obama administration, we’ll lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year,” Obama said during a June 2008 campaign swing through Virginia. “We won’t do all this twenty years from now, or ten years from now. We’ll do it by the end of my first term as President of the United States.”

So, after one term, how did B.O. do?

Not well … Not only have health insurance premiums in the United States not declined by $2,500 (or $1), they’ve actually moved in the opposite direction according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation, premiums for the average family with an employer provided plan increased by $2,400 during Obama’s first term.

Is the Kaiser Family Foundation part of the right winger nut job corps ?
