WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress' budget scorekeepers are taking a new look at President Barack Obama's health care law - and they still say it is expected to reduce federal deficits.

It's the first in-depth look by nonpartisan experts since the Supreme Court upheld most of the law last month.

You forgot the barf alert.

Notice of course NO documented evidence to back up the “report” merely their claim that that is what the report says.

So let run examine this rationally. Massively expanding the role of government in 1/6th of the US economy is suppose to SAVE us money?

Tell me 1 time the “projections” of the cost of a Government program cost LESS then projected?

Ah that right, there are none.

Som these same people were wrong a week before the Roberts treason????????.

[rarestia]

LMFAO!

Repealing the law, as Republicans want to do, would increase the deficit by $109 billion from 2013 to 2022.

$109 BILLION?! Are you serious? That's 6/10ths of 1% of the total deficit! It's a G** Damned drop in the bucket you twits!

[poobear]

Yep, it will definitely reduce the deficit when everyone without a waiver is taxed or is paying into a single payer system and RECEIVES NO HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, this is in their heads, except they forget to compensate for the bloated bureaucrats that will expect high six figure incomes to implement this thievery!

[EQAndyBuzz]

Yeah, sure, riiiiiiight.

They just added a trillion to the financing of this boondoggle and “snap” it will now save money. Just in time for the reelection.

If anyone buys into this they deserve what they get.

Those little blue pills for the elderly are much cheaper than medical care to prolong their lives.

texson66, am I too late or is that bridge still for sale? (crossing fingers nervously)...

This is good to know as it appears the GOP leadership has jumped aboard the RomneyObamaCare bandwagon. In fact, I would not be surprised to see them riding on it in the next Pride parade, perhaps accompanied by a few Marines in uniform--maybe pulled by Caligula's horse. The times, they have changed bigtime.

[lowbridge]

Now what do you want with that stupid bridge when I’ve got some perfectly good swampland in Arizona for sale?

[BerniesFriend]

Couldn’t I buy both and put the bridge over the swampland? Do I have to think of everything?

Obamacare expected to reduce federal deficits

I knew it would and you can thank Pelosi for that.

"Just give 'em a pill, they're too old to get health care." BHO.

Done with eighty million useless entities.. more for everyone else! Obama! Obama! Mmmm, mmmm, mmm.

“Tax changes have very large effects: an exogenous tax increase of 1 percent of GDP lowers real GDP by roughly 2 to 3 percent.”

[lowbridge]

What a clumsy piece of propaganda that so called news report is.
