One thing that also never gets talked about is the skyrocketing SSDI costs. That is a drain on th system with a few deserving folks and many scammers.
And SSDI will be the vehicle of choice for funneling more guvmint money to po people.
However, the dirty little secret for the States is that Obamacare will shift up to 50% of the cost of Medicaid to the States! Since states cannot print money, and most are required to have a balanced budget, that means one thing: MASSIVE INCREASES IN STATE TAXES.
Dick Morris had a great piece on this last week. If I find the link, I'll post it. Here, I found it.
I strongly suggest people write their state agencies and casually ask, "How do you think you're going to like it when you lose 50% of your federal funding under Obamacare and somehow have to scare up funds through new state taxes?"
That ought to make even some of the Rats get all wee-weed up.
Get these folks working against Obamacare and we can increase our chances of saving the country.
