Pelosi Health Care Plan Costs Taxpayers $1,200,000,000,000

The Nancy Pelosi health care bill passing out of the house this past weekend will cost taxpayers $1,200,000,000,000. That’s one-point-two-trillion dollars. This is a number that is literally too big for us to comprehend. The dollar cannot survive with this kind of outrageous spending. Forget the fact that Obama care will destroy our healthcare system, the greatest in the world, and take away our freedom to choose health care providers and lead to widespread rationing of health care, another big problem with the Obama Begich health care plan is what it will eventually do to the dollar. It will destroy it.

Rising health care costs are depleting increasingly larger shares of consumers’ pretax income, and in Connecticut alone, with a population of 3.5 million, 605,000 people ages 65 and younger are in families that will spend more than 10 percent of their pretax income on health care this year.
Black and Mild,
Talking points aside, let’s start with a few basics. Which article of the Constitution allows for the type of changes congress is contemplating with healthcare reform? I don’t remember: “Provide for the common defense……and everyone gets unlimited healthcare benefits.”
You dodged the CBO question. Budget projections that fail to take into account what will happen when Congress subsidizes something will also be off, sometimes badly. Medicare can provide many examples; the cost of a renal-dialysis benefit is one case. Congress added this benefit to Medicare in 1972, depending on forecasts that predicted program enrollment would level out at about 90,000 patients. Today, there are over 400,000 people in this program.
Here’s something recently from the CBO’s own website. “CBO’s forecasting record provides a measure of the uncertainty underlying forecasts under normal circumstances. However, the current degree of economic dislocation exceeds that of any previous period in the past half-century, so the uncertainty inherent in current forecasts exceeds the historical average.”
Not surprising that healthcare in Texas is very expensive despite tort reform. My wife worked in the healthcare industry in El Paso for several years. Hospitals there had to try and recover the cost of operations by overcharging the few patients who actually pay anything. I’m also not surprised 25% of the “residents” choose to not buy health insurance. Only suckers would voluntarily pay for insurance for something you could get for free.
Hey Y'all, just a quick shout out to my homies in backward America. It's all free man, if you don't count the $360 a month we pay for "supplemental coverage." Yeah, those greedy insurance companies again. Gonna find out soon how much of our prescription drugs they'll be willing to pay. Oh, and we can't include the dentist and eye doctors. But, guess what? You can call a dentist or an eye doctor and they'll see you with very little wait. You gotta pay 'em though! And about a million Canadians are on a waiting list to get a family doctor. And the per capita cost of socialist medicine is going up almost as fast as the cost in the US. We have income taxes coming up soon. We pay a 13 percent sales tax on everything but groceries--most groceries--they tax evil things like potato chips, soda, candy, ice cream, etc. I guess somebody decided those items are immoral. We have property taxes. We have massive gasoline taxes. Gas is $1.029/litre. Multiply that by 3.785 and you will have your per gallon price. The roads are terrible. Unemployment is chronically high. Let us be honest. Canada's defence department is called the US military. There is a growing budget deficit and now Barack Smoot Hawley is now hitting Canada with "Buy American" nonsense! Were it not for oil wealth, things would be much worse.
Wrong again, the Congressional Budget Office reports this bill is not only paid for it will accumulate a saving of almost a 100 billion dollars over ten years towards the deficit.

Facts!?! Do you believe that ANYTHING this admininstration says are Facts!?! You can post all the websites you like but the "Fact" is that mature adults aren't buying it.
Dude, the CBO is not part of the Administration.
Admit it, you don't know what the CBO is.
Don't feel ashamed, not everyone has to be smart about our government and how it works. I could give a crap about what the boy who shovels my walk or wraps my burrito knows about government.
But don't come on here and act like you have an opinion based on knowledge. You don't.
And it's fine.
I would thank you for the constructive critism if warrented. However, I will (just this once) enlighten you...
I know who and what the CBO is and have no faith what-so-ever in it since it changed its tune on projected budget deficiets some months ago when they didn't agree with Obama's agenda. Yeah, the CBO was "invited" to the White House after they came out with some news un-becoming to the powers that be and the next day changed their tune. You must have missed that.
Regarding the guy shoveling your sidewalk and wrapping your burrito it's not me pal. However, since turn about is fair play and that's what fokk like you are all about here's my take on you - Unemployed or working at some dead-end job well below what you think you're worth since you have tons of "education thah's really done nothng to get you a "real" job. You hate your life and hang with other s who feel the same way. Because of your "higher education" you are far better than someone who actually works for a living but you haven't the intestinal fortitude to actually stick your neck out and make something happen on your own...Therefore, you are a "victim" and are owed by the (yuck) working class (like me) a living. You will never find happiness and will do all you can to spread misery. In a nutshell; It must really suck being you. At least the guy shoveling and wrapping is a contributor and not a parasite.
A lot of words for a guy who doesn't know what the CBO is, a guy who this last night thought it was part of the administration lol.
Oh, and I'd like mine with the black beans. Chop chop!
When was the last time the CBO didn't significantly underestimate how much a government program would actually cost?
You can't get something for nothing, no matter how many rules and regulations you add. ANY savings in health care with a public option would have to be a result of rationing of services. Rationing exists today, but it's guided more by the free marketplace not by bureaucrats. Tort reform and allowing nation-wide competition for health insurance would go a long way to improving the system we have without destroying it.
You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are however not entitled to your own facts.
If you think, tort reform is the answer I have one word for you . . . "Texas!"
Let me tell you about Texas, well lets start with the fact that they have the highest level of Tort reform instituted in the country including capping medical malpractice lawsuits at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. (Which means a doctor can kill you or cut off your testicles and your life is valued at no more than a quarter million by the state.) Here are some interesting facts to intertwine with Texas tort reform laws. Texas also has the highest cost for medical care in the nation, while also leading the nation in uninsured residents at 25%. Can you believe one in four in Texas lack any kind of health insurance? (Including more than nine million children) Is this what you see as the model for America? Let me also tell you that it is quite puzzling to me that the majority of uninsured come from Red states, and these are the Republican Senators who are blocking the legislation that would help those constituents who need this the most. People need to stop voting against their best interest and stop being corporate pawns.
the distruction of a great nation.
