They'd NEVER lie like this if they knew the media would call them on it. But they know their comrades in the media........ The Next ObamaCare Mirage

Thomas Miller and Abby McCloskey: The Next ObamaCare Mirage - WSJ.com:
"The president jumped on this theme in his press conference on Nov. 14.
"I'm not going to walk away from something that has helped the cost of health care grow at its slowest rate in 50 years," he said. On Wednesday, the White House Council of Economic Advisers published a report claiming that "the ACA is contributing to the recent slow growth in health care prices and spending."
These assertions border on nonsense.
National spending on health care is projected to reach a record $2.9 trillion in 2013, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. 
This is more than 25% above pre-recession spending levels in 2007. 
Health-care expenditures per capita and as a percentage of GDP are also at record highs, expected to top out this year at $9,216 and 18% respectively."
