The sound and fury of the health care debate centers around the public option, to be sure. But there are other issues, lurking below the surface, that might turn out to be the iceberg to Obamacare’s Titanic.

A lifeboat full of Blue Dog Democrats is seen here pulling away from the foundering S.S. ObamaCare.

Barack Obama, in an op-ed article for the New York Times, stated:

“Most important, we will require insurance companies to cover routine checkups, preventive care and screening tests like mammograms and colonoscopies … It makes sense, it saves lives and it can also save money.”

Preventative care is one of Obama’s big talking points when he claims his health care overhaul will save money. Just one problem—it won’t.
