The Obamacare bill is close to 3,000 pages. It is not surprising the Democrats who produced it behind closed doors would claim it pays for itself. CBO scoring of the bill relies on unrealistic assumptions per the scoring report. Later analysis by the CBO estimates costs at nearly double the total originally estimated. Please explain how adding up fictitious cost estimates and wishful revenue estimates is a productive exercise. Declaring that Obamacare is paid for is an act of faith. That is why the evidence that it is the most costly entitlement in history has to be ignored.

The point is it's projected to pay for itself after the initial cost of implementing and that is dependent on the States complying with the new Medicaid expansion. If those 8 or 10 states decide to opt out of the medicaid expansion then the numbers will change. No one, Not Democrat, not Republican, not Independent knows exactly how much the initial cost is going to be. All they are doing now is speculating and making wild assumptions based on hate for Obama and fear of change. Read the bill... Oh by the way you can download the PDF of the bill which is only about 1900 pages, not 3000 . But read it, all the details are laid out for you to see. |

Why do you refuse to discuss the revenue projections prefering to blindly follow the highly suspect cost projections instead? Oh I know, because it is Obamacare. Even the CBO that produced the report you presumably rely on for the absurd claim it is paid for has repudiated its original cost estimate. Let's see Obamacare cost projections nearly double while revenues decline but it is "wild speculation" to question that it pays for itself. That is not partisan math it is delusion. |

So what if it costs a little up front. Once the program is in full effect it will pay for itself with tax dollars, hows that. Stop looking at taxes as YOUR money. Once you hand it over to the Government it becomes Government Money and Congress whom you help elect gets to determine where that money is spent. I'm fairly certain after you pay your electric bill you don't call the electric company and demand they spend your money the way YOU want it so why do you expect the Government to be any different. It's the system we have had since the founding of the nation, if you don't like it why not find a place that doesn't charge taxes and move.... Good Luck finding that. |
