We all have our bank accounts, property and labor to give Obama, so don't worry about it.

When Obamacare was being deliberated, Democrats did everything in their power to coax the CBO into declaring that the law would stay in the sub $1T range.

It was all a ruse to make the law more palatable. It was a big lie, and your government knew all about it from the very start. Which is precisely why Democrats are scum.

Well, I'll be. Seems this wasn't as shovel ready as we thought.

Say, if we can get rid of 25 million people (SDS plans) it might just work!

They had to pass it on Christmas Eve without most members even reading it, let alone understanding what was in it. They threatened to just deem it if they couldn't get the votes. They are scum. And today Obama and his idiot Attorney General are touting how transparent their administration has been!

Perhaps the most troubling aspect in finacing obamacare will come to state taxpayers in 2017 when states start paying the huge increase in medicaid roles and their share. Right now the only thing hit is increases in employee coverage if adopted the mandates to be grandfathered last October and the cuts in medicare of 500 billion over ten years.

That's about $560 per US citizen per year. That's like, what, two months of insurance premiums? Our idiotic wars cost more than the $176 billion per year this is estimated to cost and I'd much rather my money be spent on it than them. Oh, and if we got rid of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, IT WOULD BE PAID FOR!!

That's $560 per person PLUS what you are mandated to pay, something like $2,500, plus what they are cutting from medicare that seniors will have to pay for. This cost will rise dramatically in years to come as every other federal program has. All this for crappy government health care, that will become single payer. Why would I want that when I have the best health care in the world right now? You don't believe me? Ask a doctor. Then there is the loss of liberty thta comes with it. The knuckleheads are already telling me what I can eat, smoke etc.

I guess you've forgotten what obama and the dems told us the cost would be. You've also forgotten what obama and the dems told us we would "save", how much obamacare would decrease the deficit, that our plans and doctors were safe, etc, etc.

Can you just admit you were LIED to? Can you just admit you were duped again?
