Supporters of President Obama’s health care reform law were cheered recently when a Congressional Research Service report seemed to contradict a Republican criticism that was gaining traction with the public.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s Center for Health Transformation, for example, said last week that Obamacare would require the creation of at least 159 bureaucratic organizations. To illustrate the sprawling nature of the coming new government health care bureaucracy, Gingrich’s group put together a wall map loaded with tiny, color-coded type organized by year. It’s an intimidating chart that recalls a similar creation used effectively by congressional GOPers in leading the public rejection of Hillarycare in 1993. Similarly, the Republican members of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress created another massive chart indicating both old and new bureaucratic entities involved with Obamacare.
