So to Democrats, a $300 billion dollar increase in spending is “savings”?
Plus everybody knows the Dems have underestimated costs by a factor of six. (based on other gov’t programs)
The democrat leadership will have none of this dissension. Shut your mouth and take your medicine, citizen.
For a real world estimate of what it would cost, just look at Medicare where the cost is $12,000 per person per year. The plan the Rats passed would eventually cover about 100 million people. $12,000 X 100 million = $1.2 TRILLION PER YEAR.
I think Pelosi would have gotten the votes by hook and by crook. Yes, the report would have caused constituents to amp up the pressure on their reps (representatives) to vote no, but in the end, the reps would have ignored it. The reps were willing to ignore that pressure even in light of the election a couple weeks ago, so I don’t think this report would have changed anything. This bill was driven like a force of nature or weather. I don’t think anything except sheer numbers could have stopped it. Even if Hoffman had been elected and turncoat liar Cao had not turned, it still would have passed. There was no hesitation by Pelosi and her thugs to sacrifice some rat seats to get this bill passed. It will be such wonderful poetic justice if this flops in the senate and there is no bill.
Exactly and not one single reporter not one in the media has asked him to claify what is more important Mr. president to get the Healthcare bill done or to get it done right.
His insistance that this be done so he can wave it around as a political accomplishment is the Problem, the American people want something done but not this massive intrusion...
So whats more important getting something done? Or getting it done right...
Heck the thing doesn’t even go in effect for 4 years...
I bet he already has it written in to his SOTU address...
CMS is already costing untold dollars in some of the regulations that are now in effect. Somebody is getting paid big bucks to think up more paperwork which takes time away from patient care.
We need to vote into office independent experts from now on and screw the political party money shoveling machine.

It would have been great if the vote failed, but since they held the vote, all these Dems are going to face brutal town halls over the Thanksgiving and Christmas break over their votes.
“Though House Republicans pressed to have this analysis completed before the lower chamber voted on the Democrats’ sweeping healthcare reform bill last week, it was not ready until late Friday.”
It’s not a healthcare reform bill. It’s a bill that will abuse both the healthcare system and the actual medical health of individual citizens, thus it is a Health Abuse bill.
Of course it will. It was never about bringing down the costs down. They could do that with one easy step. Insurance can be bought across state lines. THAT is the main thing that keeps costs up. The insurance companies know they have you right where they want you. You can’t shop around.
It’s a power grab, see my tag line.
They don’t care cuz they don’t have to pay it - we will (if passed).
As this came out on a Saturday, we should repost on Monday so more people will be able to read it.
