Doctor forces Howard Dean to retract rosy Obamacare prognosis

The Daily Caller reports:
Howard Dean was forced to immediately withdraw his optimistic claim that “most of the people signing up [for Obamacare] are healthy” after Dr. Scott Gottlieb pulled up statistics contradicting the former Democratic presidential candidate.

The two appeared on “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace to discuss the battered healthcare law’s prospect in 2014. Dean, former Vermont governor and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, admitted there would be “dislocations” — patients appearing at the doctor January 1 only to find their insurance plans had not been processed — but that there wouldn’t be “as many as most people think.”
