Lie, Lies, and more Obama

The Obamissariat

“

A funny thing has happened on the way to the implementation of Obamacare, aka the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA): it’s become much less affordable. When the law was passed in 2010, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated it would cost $940 billion over a ten year period. The new estimate? $1.76 trillion.

But it gets even better. *gasp; gasp;* ... the number of non-elderly legal residents forced to obtain supplemental insurance policies will rise from 82 percent in 2012, to 93 percent in 2022.

None of this surprises those who warned that the original cost estimates of the healthcare bill were little more than Enron-like accounting gimmicks. [Costs for ObamaCare Skyrocket]

ACID TEST - Which of the current crop of GOP hopefuls would you stake your life on— to go balls-out to repeal Obamacare in its entirety?

Last month my Cardiologist quit and turned all of his patients over to other doctors in his medical group.

This is just the beginning of some very bad things to come in the medical care business.; 3/15/12, 1:15 PM

Anonymous said...: No, leelu. There has never been a government program that only cost double what they said it would. 10X is the average. Oh, I see. You meant double it before adding the zero (20X). In most cases that would be a bit much, but not too, much for others. In the case of ObamaCare I think that is probably still too low. Pay for itself, my foot!
