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.
The real price tag?... OUR FREEDOM!!
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 $239 billion over the next decade. But government-run health care won't turn into a pumpkin after a decade. The underreported news is the new spending that will continue to increase well beyond the 10-year period that CBO examines, and that this blowout will overwhelm even the House Democrats' huge tax increases, Medicare spending cuts and other "pay fors."
ObamaCare and PelosiCare will add 250B$/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.
