My memory says there are 70-100 billion in taxes annually added because of ObamaCare.

Breitbart ran an article last year saying the total cost of ObamaCare had risen to 2 trillion over the next 10 years. That’s 200 billion a year.

Where does the difference of 100 billion come from? It comes from the premiums, deductibles, and borrowed money.

But, repealing ObamaCare would instantly stop about a 100 billion a year from coming into the treasury.

Knowing politicians, they WANT that 100 billion bucks. That’s a lot of walking-around-money as far as they are concerned.

That’s why the establishment wants to keep ObamaCare. Follow the money. And now they’ve got it rigged with such high deductibles that no one really has effective insurance anyway. So, for them, it’s ALL walking-around money.

Follow the money.

That's the bottom line. Once the Central Planners in Washington have created an "entitlement", it would be easier to empty the Great Lakes than to get rid of it.
