I even quoted it for you in my original post. I've been saying this since virtually day 1.
"this is, for the most part, a fight the bill ducked, which is part of the reason that even its most committed defenders don’t think we’ll be paying anything like what they’re paying in other countries anytime soon." This bill was basically written BY the health insurance lobbyists. There is little to address actual costs. Go back a hundred pages or whatever if you want the long answer. |
Four inconvenient truths about the HCRA
1) Some people won’t get to keep the coverage they like. Obama promised over and over during the health care debate that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” It turns out that, for a lot of people, between 3-5,000,000 and 15-20,000,000, that isn’t true. 2) Costs aren’t going to go down. The Obama campaign released a graph that shows health insurance premiums climbing and climbing way above general inflation. 3) It was just a guess that the law can pay for itself. The Obama administration insists that the health care law will actually reduce the deficit. That sounds like a fantasy to many people, since the law will clearly increase spending through insurance subsidies and an expansion of Medicaid. And the CBO believes the law will only pay for itself through cuts in Medicare payments and various new taxes, including fees that health insurers and medical device makers will pay. 4) “The more you know, the more you'll like it”. When the bill passed, Democrats were convinced that Americans would like the health care reform law more once they were able to see its benefits. When then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Congress had to “pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.” Except the controversy has never died down, and people don’t like the law any more now than they did then. |

"CBO" isn't numbers and data and why...
and I dont understand what you mean about the video, sorry, rephrase that for me? |
Look at the latest CBO data on the HCRA. They revised (shock) the costs.
Its in the campaign video that Obama just released last Thursday. There is no way for me to post it. |
Well... How's it working out for ya????? :lol2:

Soon, we will be hearing a lot about Medicaid and Obamacare.
This, in large part, will be referencing the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) which is dependent on income AND family size. Usually, a certain percentage of FPL will be identified, such as 133% FPL Here are 2 tables, one of annual income and one of monthly income each associated with the size of the family... |
