Remember When...

...Barack Obama said this when the law that would eventually be known as Obamacare passed through the Senate Health Committee:

"(The committee) has produced a proposal that will finally lower health care costs, provide better care for patients, and ensure fair treatment of consumers by the insurance industry," Obama said in a statement. 
"No longer will insurance companies be able to deny coverage based on a pre-existing medical condition. No longer will Americans have to worry about their health insurance if they lose their job, change their job, or open a new business," he said.

A story from Yahoo! News today:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Insurance companies will have to pay out an average of 32 percent more for medical claims on individual health policies under President Barack Obama's overhaul, the nation's leading group of financial risk analysts has estimated. 
That's likely to increase premiums for at least some Americans buying individual plans. (Emphasis added.)

Hmmm....
