Allahpundit wrote about this last night, but it’s worth emphasizing a couple of other big points about Barack Obama and this plan by Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) to overhaul the American health-care system.

He starts by claiming that Americans are getting taxed by insurers with price increases as a means of excusing what are actually two big government bites in the Baucus bill:
