The CBO has consistently projected that President Obama's overhaul will reduce the deficit, and the agency estimated that the Republicans’ 2011 effort to repeal the legislation would increase deficits by $210 billion from 2010 to 2021.
In April, the agency quietly signaled that it can no longer make that projection; that the law had been changed and delayed so much that there is no longer a credible way to estimate the long-term effects on the deficit of all elements of the program taken together.
Interesting that they had to admit that ObamaCare is so mis-managed and so out of control that there is no way to get any real budget figures on it. What a mess.
CongressCritters should cease funding until the CBO can rate it.
Well this news can at least keep the hopes and dreams of teabaggers alive that somehow everything will go very badly. Everyone else will continue to live in reality. A reality where they have health coverage.
Really? What about the 30 million uninsured people in America? Where do they fit into your lies and distortions?

They never made that claim.
Republicans are a mystery to me, you attack the law, tell people not to sign up , run a fear campaign for the better half of 3 years and then attack the law because parts of it had to be delayed because people believed Republicans when they said they would repeal it ???
Hmmm, I wonder if the gvt will get that 500 billion in Medicare cuts to soften the blow of Obamacare cost of 1.1 trillion in 10 years? I wonder if the employer mandate will ever come into effect? I doubt either one at this point and stand behind my prediction that Obamacare will add billions and billions to U S debt? Yep Obama sure fixed health care
Um, the CBO said they can't reliably project the impact, not that they don't believe it will cut the deficit.

That's not why Republicans are against it.
