Have you seen any reports of what it is going to cost just to administer this annually? Imagine all the thousands of government workers they will have to hire! The annual administrative costs ARE NOT IN THE COST ESTIMATE FROM THE CBO!
That's 100s of 1000s and they will be hired as soon as this thing becomes law so that the incoming Republican majorities in Congress 2010 will be faced with having to disemploy those hundreds of thousands if they repeal. It is Insurance for the law.
I have ask that same question of my senator (D) and congressperson (R) here in NC, and the only answer I received from either was a form letter that basically said " Thanks for contacting us".
Ach! You are of course right, and the controlling commission, commissioners, and “health czar” have already been created and appointed out of the $787B “stimulus”! BHO is clearly a developmentally arrested adolescent, so who the HELL is steering the slimy, but skilled, takeover?
It’s NOT just the “government workers”...it’s the UNION workers ($60/month in dues X millions)....that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
