1. The Dems got the CBO to give the first estimate of ~980 billion (remember they had to keep it under 1 trillion so that the wind-down of the Iraq war would pay for it). BUT, it covered only 6 full yrs of Obamacare.
2. The new estimate covers 9 FULL yrs of Obamacare.
3. Next yrs estimate for the complete first FULL 10yrs will exceed 2 trillion.
Additionally,
4. CBO has yet to estimate the failure of Accountable Care Organizations to save significant amounts of money.
5. Congress can meet IPAB's budgetary restrains by cutting Medicare services, like reimbursement fees, today and reinstitute them tomorrow--'a la' the doc-fix.
6. HHS abdicated its power to make states pay for their decisions to expand the mandates in states' plans.
7. The CBO, nor anything else, can get a true estimate of the number of people who will have to join the states' plans. Already an additional 100 billion was just recently added to cover the costs of more people doing so. This number could go up dramatically.
Obamacare not only destroys our "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" but is a fiscal disaster.

| Also keep in mind that everything seems to cost about twice as much as what they initially predict... Who knows what the real tally will be at the end... |

Written by a commite that went on record saying "they did not understand it" passed by a congress who exempted themselves from it, oversaw by a surgeon general who is obese, ratified by a president who smokes and paid for by a country that is broke.

| Russ you got most of that correct except the part about paid for. It will be the tax payers who will be broke and it will be used by the non tax payers and or illegals. |
