April 23, 201016 yr I remember opponents arguing almost the exact some points early in the debate. It was ignored then and will be ignored now.
April 23, 201016 yr The cost has gone up and the 1st patient under the Health Scam Reform has not even been seen.
April 24, 201016 yr You can't blame the media for not reporting this widely. They've been extremely busy uncovering the hidden horrors inside the Tea Party. Cut them some slack.

April 24, 201016 yr Author Why is it not at all surprising that just like the administration, those on here that support Obamacare seem to have their collective heads buried in the sand?
April 24, 201016 yr Did anyone actually read the report? Medical spending, not the deficit, will increase by less than 1% over the first ten years but then begin reduction in the subsequent ten years. That is precisely what the bill was expected to do.

April 26, 201016 yr Did anyone actually read the report? Medical spending, not the deficit, will increase by less than 1% over the first ten years but then begin reduction in the subsequent ten years. That is precisely what the bill was expected to do. And did you read the part where it talked about the 1% number possibly increasing? Or the part that said that said Medicare cuts in the law are "unrealistic" and "unsustainable"?

Two things on the bolded. Politicians have no true idea what is going to happen in 10 years let alone 20 years from now in spending costs. And the parties that are put into power over the next 10-20 years is going to tweak this thing like crazy and make any projections irrelevant. When anyone begins talking about 10 to 20 years ago based on what a politician or report says, they need to give a serious consideration on how the political/economic climate is going to change and that it is not realistic numbers.
April 26, 201016 yr True, if you want a good laugh (or cry) go back and look at original cost estimates for other large programs.
