The funding gap is a canyon by year 10.
As ObamaCare sinks in the polls, Democrats are complaining that the critics are distorting their proposals. But the truth is that the closer one inspects the actual details, the worse it all looks. Today’s example is the vast debt canyon that would open just beyond the 10-year window under which the bill is officially “scored” for cost purposes.
The press corps has noticed the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate that the House health bill increases the deficit by $239 billion over the next decade. But government-run health care won’t turn into a pumpkin after a decade. The underreported news is the new spending that will continue to increase well beyond the 10-year period that CBO examines, and that this blowout will overwhelm even the House Democrats’ huge tax increases, Medicare spending cuts and other “pay fors.”

To say nothing of the $239 billion deficit for the first decade. This article shrugs that off like it is no big deal.
And, if you have the stomach, check out the nasty retorts in the comments section.
Bottomline, if the Democrats want to seize 1/6th of our economy, there should be no bipartisan cover on this one. There ought not be a single Republican that supports this or they should just switch parties now like Judas Specter.
Great job, Mr. Head!!!
And that $239 billion is really over 6 years, since spending goes from $15 billion a year now, to $150 billion a year in 2013. It’s all back-loaded.
Once ObamaCare gets rolling it makes $40 billion/year - or higher - deficits for ever.
The real price tag?... OUR FREEDOM!!

That is the only things these thugs think about really. Not your health, but total control. They have control of your mind through the education system. When they control your health, your very life, they have YOU by the cajones. You will be told what to eat, where to live, where to work, how many sheets of TP you can use to wipe, if you can even wipe. Just pee in the toilet, it is good for the environment. If these people cared about your health, they would not put Dr. Death himself in charge, Ezekiel Emanuel who is in favor of how much you contribute to society (or voting) as to whether you can get that cancer treatment or not. Democrat, yes. All others get “end of life” counseling.
Great summary, ‘wife!!
And... remember how during the campaign no one could ever get him to define what he meant by change?? Now we know!
The Hippocratic Oath is spectacularly missing from this Brave New World/Third Reich scenario for, yes, murder.
We would do well to refresh our minds on the Holocaust.
ObamaCare and PelosiCare will add 250B$/yr according the the CBO ten years from now.
I believe the CBO is a factor of 2-3 times BELOW the true cost.
This is not even taking into account the plot inherent therein to kill older people before their time.
