This report has shown that this is going to be a lot more expensive, that it's going to raise taxes, that it's going to raise health insurance premiums, that it's going to make people drop out of the existing coverage they have. They will be thrown into the government plan. This is a CMS report, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which is nonpartisan and objective. What really is outrageous about this report, Representative Akin, is that they had it over at DHS before we ever had the final vote on ObamaCare. They were sitting on it. Their language now is, Oh, we didn't want to influence the debate. Isn't that what a report is all about?
