Just released. The CBO has carefully crunched numbers and found that the Obamacare will reduce the budget deficit by at least 84 billion dollars. This is very good news for Americans and Obama. Bad news for those who are bitter from too many sour grapes.
CBO says healthcare ruling could save $84 billion

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Last month's Supreme Court ruling that upheld President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare law could save the U.S. government some $84 billion over 11 years, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday.
ROFL..yeah by states not accepting the expanded medicaid part.
So do you take back all that condemning of states that are not going to opt in ?
Do you like savings, or not? I would think that this is good news for the GOP. Why isn't it?
Also, FYI;

In a separate report, CBO also said that total repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which the House passed earlier this month for at least the second time, would increase the federal deficit by $109 billion over the next decade. While it would reduce direct spending on health care programs and subsidies for the uninsured by $890 billilon, it would reduce revenues by $1 trillion over the same period.
"The CBO also estimated that 3 million uninsured people who would have received Medicaid coverage under the law before the ruling now will remain with no insurance."
Or the people who will lose their current insurace because their employer decides to "follow the law". lol
Dirty Harry needs to join that NFL lawsuit for brain damage.........
""This confirms what we've been saying all along - the Affordable Care Act saves lots of money," Reid told reporters. The congressional budget analysts estimated that the net cost of expanding medical coverage under the law will total $1.168 trillion over the next 10 years, compared to an earlier estimate of $1.252 trillion.

Hey sure it's good news. But I'm surprised that you, being Left, are saying this is good news when you were bashing states for not opting in and leaving people to die in the streets.
It will be intresting to see what states has the cajones to really opt out when the time comes. I see a lot of typical republican back peddling when the time comes. Thats not what I said BLAh, Blah.

So you are concerned about those without insurance? Good for you. We can work on helping those with the savings after the election.

Texas said no from the get go. Can't afford the medicaid folks we have now never mind take on another million or so.
You all should thank Texas for saving you some money.
