Well, Now That ObamaCare is legal . . .

Shouldn't everyone just buckle down and abide by the law?

There's your answer, razorwired. The wing wankers will bitch and moan about it forever without ever bothering to learn what the bill really will do.

Seems like it would make more sense to have some level of understanding of the act before deciding it's impending doom.

Here's some "understanding" for you:



These numbers don't include the cost of the expansion of Medicaid at the state level, and the cost to the states to set up and run the Exchanges, which will add significant additional cost.

So, the Moonie Times citing figures from the Teabagger Ways and Means Committee? Boy, talk about your authoritative unbiased sources! Great job, Whell!

Nice try. Of course, I'm sure you'd attempt to discredit anything that wasn't sourced from Politico, CNN, the Huffington Post, or the DNC.

The black lines represent actual CBO estimates from 2010. Those CBO estimates where quite clear that the numbers where hard to nail down, since the HHS would still be fleshing out the specifics for years to come, economic conditions are always in flux, and the law would also be subject to SCOTUS and legislative activity.

However, even if the numbers remain consistent with the CBO's projections - which even the CBO doubts - we're still taking in a $570B on a plan that was originally projected to cost $1 trillion. And that assumes that programs that haven't been designed and rolled out yet produce every penny of projected savings that were forecast in 2009.

Right.
