Public Being Mislead On Cost Of Health Reform Due To Lack Of Transparency Says Pence

By Ravi Bhatia – Talk Radio News Service

Congressmen Mike Pence (R-Ind.) discussed on Monday the Obama administration’s lack of transparency and the potentially expensive effects of its proposed health care reform plan on small businesses.

“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it’s free,” Pence said.

Pence argued that the administration’s lack of transparency has caused Americans to believe that the reform process has slowed down. The process, he claimed, has not slowed in speed, but has merely disappeared from the public eye.

“All this would be more obvious if [the reform process] happened the way the President said it would happen.”

Pence then introduced a commercial citing his party’s issues with the health care plan. The ad featured a clip of the President promising “full transparency” during the health care process. Pence joked that the public should tune in daily to CSPAN to view the sausage-making for themselves.
