I sent an email to flag@whitehouse.gov this morning about seemingly fishy statements being made about health care reform.

In July the health care reform debate looked at the effects of proposed legislation on the federal budget. Congress needs to focus on the effects of their proposed policies on workers’ future wages. If health care reform accelerates health cost growth because expanded insurance coverage means more health services are consumed, a median worker would see his real wages shrink.

The President and Speaker Pelosi have shifted their health care message for the August Congressional recess. I disagree with those who say this is a new strategy. It’s a new message to try to sell the same strategy, and with the same desired policy outcome as we’ve seen over the past few months.

Yesterday President Obama sent an email on health care reform to the White House mailing list. Respectfully, here is my counterpoint.
