Don’t hold your breath on $2 tril in health insurance savings

As this news analysis story points out , when have insurers ever delivered on something like this?

Update:

Ezra Klein is also skeptical, saying Obama and insurers are using each other for posturing points.

Klein says Paul Krugman is excited, which might be overstating things, but he does seem to be giving scant attention to the gift horse’s mouth, even while noting the Clinton-era backstory.

Gee, surprise, not just with health insurers, but with Obama on that one.
