Obama and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who recently threatened insurance companies if they saying anything negative about the consequences of ObamaCare, have been going around saying that the recent rebate by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of NC is proof that their massive intervention in the health insurance market is working.

Today’s Wall Street Journal features an editorial that sets the record straight.

I’ll just quote the key sentence: “The Blue Cross refund owes to a technical issue that has nothing to do with health reform except insofar as it will destroy a market that is working well.”

Read the whole editorial.

Political scoundrels will say anything to deceive voters into supporting them. Fortunately, the speed of modern communications makes it possible to keep up with their lying and expose it.
