The Affordable Care Act, a k a ObamaCare, became law almost four years ago. It became operational last Oct. 1. Yesterday, Feb. 4, 2014, the ACA may well have been dealt its death blow.

The Congressional Budget Office released a major study of the government’s budget and its effect on the overall economy over the next 10 years. In dull bureaucratic language, it delivers a devastating analysis of the inefficiencies, ineffectualities and problematic social costs of ObamaCare.

The one-two punch: Virtually as many Americans will lack health coverage in 10 years as before the law was passed — but 2 million fewer will be working than if the law hadn’t passed.

One killer detail comes on Page 111, where the report projects: “As a result of the ACA, between 6 million and 7 million fewer people will have employment-based insurance coverage each year from 2016 through 2024 than would be the case in the absence of the ACA.”(continued)

Are guys like Beck and Limbaugh actually willing to risk “their lives, their FORTUNES, their sacred honor” to organize such a protest?

Guess we are about to see the acid test.

Doubtful but they do have the means/media to get people to rally.

They didn’t organize the last one and they probably won’t be in charge of the next one. My concern is people won’t be able to afford to make a trip to DC. It isn’t cheap to get there, stay several days and then return home.
