We don't have enough government agencies!

I've posted several times on Obamacare -- its unfulfillable promises, its high cost, its rationed services. One thing I've not mentioned is the number of agencies it creates. How many of you think we need more government agencies? I don't see any raised hands out there!

This is not a complete list, but if Obamacare is passed, these are a few of the agencies and boards that will be created:
  • Health Choices Administration
  • Health Insurance Exchange
  • Health Insurance Exchange Trust Fund
  • Government Health Plan
  • Bureau of Health Information
  • Health Benefits Advisory Committee

In looking at all this, the Congressional Budget Office has said that the bill will cost us more and dig us deeper into debt. And we can assume it will cost even more than they estimate -- look at the "Cash for Clunkers" program. One billion dollars was budgeted, but when money ran out this week, Obama promised the program would continue. At what cost? That doesn't seem to concern him. Let's just bill the taxpayers some more!
