Yep liberals...they just covered 30 Million of the 45 Million Americans without ,health insurance.
15 Million by making those that can afford it do so
15 Million more poor covered under Medicaid
All paid for by taxes only on the wealthy and only expanding Federal Budget by 1.37%
Thank you liberals.
Bonus: The bill raises so much taxes from the wealthy not only does the program pay for itself, the residual revenue will lower the deficit by over 100 Billion.
Yeah, other than that, the Dems, although I wouldn't exactly call them too liberal, have not done much, well except lowering taxes for middle class. But hey, they are still hard at work, wish I could say the same for the Repubs.
Ooops...there goes that deficit reduction. Unless of course, you prefer to keep the proposed Medicare cuts as is. In which case, expect to see a whole lot more "No Medicare Patients Accepted" signs.

The CBO numbers have been debunked so many times already, I didn't think there was anyone left who actually believed that dog and pony show.
These CBO numbers are only weeks old.
Please post the "debunking" of these numbers by an objective source or expert?
The CBO overestimated the cost of the bank bailout bill.
The CBO overstimated the 2009 budget deficit.
The fact of the matter is...these CBO numbers conflict with your ideology and rhetoric......So you reject them out of hand.
By a former director of the CBO...I believe he would qualify as an expert on the number crunching.
Bogus numbers given under unrealistic premises, with the deliberate exclusions of known costs=dog and pony show put forth to justify the passage of what will be the largest fiasco ever.
In other news, American debt burden (much more important than tax burden) is the highest it has ever been surpassing the very hight debt burden of WW2.
Actually it makes you look foolish. You would have to be a deaf ,dumb and blind partisan to not comprehend that Everyones taxes (direct and indirect) will be increasing immensely!

Your Opinion/Editorial was debunked by a Nobel winning economist.
