White House: ObamaCare Drove First Quarter GDP

WH: Obamacare Drove Weak First Quarter GDP (Free Beacon)

White House press secretary Jay Carney claimed Obamacare helped drive economic growth Wednesday in the White House press conference.

However first quarter GDP registered a mere 0.1 percent, a drastic decrease from the 2.6 percent America saw in the fourth quarter of 2013 and well short of the 1 percent economists were expecting. Massive increases in healthcare spending reportedly kept GDP out of the red, as Carney was quick to trumpet.
