Zimmy, you are correct, correlation does not mean causation.

But did you read the article I posted. Those guys, with access to real data, said that Obamacare will increase healthcare costs.

Zimmy, do you doubt, at this point, that Obamacare will increase costs? Where is your proof of that? All you're doing is trying desperately, and unsuccessfully, to poke holes in what everyone else is saying. Do you have any data, any at al, to suggest it will lower costs?

I'll say it again...you cannot add millions to the healthcare system, and give more coverage to them, without increasing costs. It's not possible. Common sense says it's not possible, economics 101 says it's not possible, the CBO says it's not possible, Towers Perrin says it's not possible, and Obama's own agency says it's not possible.

The only basis for denying the increased costs is a fanatical devotion to Obama. There's no other explanation.
