I find the silence from the left on this to be very telling
They were busy getting their instructions from their favorite sources. Kind of like you have to have the real orders before you take a swing at the messenger.
Unfortunately the CBO completely disagrees with the Conservative costings.................
The Congressional Budget Office released updated cost estimates for some parts of the Affordable Care Act. In this update, CBO projects that net spending on several parts of the health care law are about $50 billion less than it projected last year. That partly reflects CBO’s confirmation of a trend we’ve been following – slower growth in health insurance premiums. CBO said:
“By 2021, premiums are now estimated to be about 8 percent lower than CBO estimated in March 2011. That change reduces the estimated costs of the coverage provisions of the ACA.”
This suggests that taxpayers will save $50 billion more, on net, through 2021 and Americans will pay even less for private insurance than CBO previously projected – which is good news.
That $50 billion sounds too much like what is to be taken from Medicare each year for 10 years. Very suspicious numbers here.
This is 2012. We're supposed to wait 9 years for lower premiums ?
8% lower ? Mine went up 20% for 2 years running.
I think that it only counts after the whole law goes into effect. Anybody with a tiny amount of understanding can see that insurance costs have risen hugely in the last two years. Of course, many people want the government to be able to supply their health care, free of charge and they don't see that someone has to pay for those things.
We told these left handed lunatics this from day one. There has never been a government run welfare program that comes in under budget. Everything has been revised over and over again and the costs continue to rise each time and this thing hasn't even been implemented yet. The left has no answer because they were all duped by the lies of their orator. Maybe next time they'll listen. LOL.

"someone" is paying for "free of charge" health care now with this present system .... Our Taxes already pay for ER visits, even visits by illegals.
We also have to pay a Insurance company for health care so we actually pay twice for health care here.
NO health care is "free" but with a Govt. funded health system we only pay once, we are not at the mercy of insurance companies who only want to insure the Healthy and the Wealthy and our tax Dollars are used for all Americans ...... How awful to actually use our taxes to pay for Americans rather than Iraqi health care or wars or overseas aid etc etc etc.
About time we became a nation that is one for all and all for one instead of me, me, me and then more me!
