Shh... Preventive Care Won't Save Enough To Pay For ObamaCare

Does pointing this out count as a "myth" or is it merely a "distraction"? I can see how the left might want to hold back "myth" for yes/no questions where they're demonstrably wrong and need to overcompensate. Under that strategy verifiably true statements like "ObamaCare will cover abortions" count as "myths," while "the White House is making shit up about preventative care savings" gets relegated to "distraction" territory:
Preventive services for the chronically ill may reduce health-care costs, but they are unlikely to generate the kind of fantastic savings that President Obama and other Democrats have said could help pay for an overhaul of the nation's health system... Using data from long-standing clinical trials, researchers projected the cost of caring for people with Type 2 diabetes as they progress from diagnosis to various complications and death... However, except for the youngest diabetics, the additional services would add to overall health spending, not decrease it, the study shows."There's no free lunch here. Prevention will not pay for everything. But it's not as expensive as it looks at first blush," said Michael J. O'Grady, a senior fellow at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.
Begging yet another question: why is Michael J. O'Grady a political terrorist who hates Ted Kennedy?
