Which I think sucks.
"the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill will reduce the deficit by $143 billion over the next 10 years and by $1.2 trillion in the following decade. About half of the cost of the bill is paid for by targeting waste, fraud, and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid. Roughly the other half of the cost is paid for through asking the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans to make a contribution, imposing fees on certain health care industries that will benefit from 32 million more insured Americans, and certain other revenue raisers."

In other words, it will save us money by improving efficiency and by taxing the rich a wee bit. Naturally, the Republicans want to get rid of it because they stand for the super-rich, and would rather keep the working classes uninsured than make their buddies give up a tiny slice of their earnings.
Junior your PDF is 7 month old propaganda from the Speaker. She is a stupid lying cunt.
The CBO has since admitted that ObamaCare is going to cost a lot more than originally claimed and not reduce the defecit a penny.
The answer is that premiums will go up.
A lot.
Companies will drop their medical plans.
Those that keep their plans will require employees to pay a far greater share of the increased premiums.
Your ObamaCare savings are budgetary Weapons of Mass Destruction; illusive, shadowy, NONEXISTENT.....
The HomoLiberalSocialist really thought they were getting something for nothing.
They are finding out they were wrong.
Did Obama lie or was he naive and stupid?
The politically explosive revelation, which is likely to give new impetus to the GOP’s repeal movement, came after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the law potentially could add at least $115 billion to government healthcare spending over the next 10 years.
This comes after a separate Medicare office report found that the bill would raise spending by about 1 percent during the next decade. Still the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) stood by the administration's original claims that the law would reduce the deficit. Obama tasked Congress with making that happen through tax increases or spending cuts. If that doesn’t happen, the administration is vowing to make program cuts itself.
If Congress approves all the additional spending called for in the legislation, it would push the 10-year cost of the overhaul above $1 trillion — an unofficial limit the Obama administration set early on.
The CBO said the added spending includes $10 billion to $20 billion in administrative costs to federal agencies carrying out the law, as well as $34 billion for community health centers and $39 billion for Indian healthcare.
The costs were not reflected in earlier budget office estimates,
@6,7,8,9 Other than your call-back to earlier threads by calling the first female Speaker of the House stupid, etc., I do not see any references to where you pulled these numbers, although their smell may answer that.
she IS stupid. glad she's on your team...
the posts are a news story from this summer.
google CBO and ObamaCare....
But you DID recognize that your argument was copied verbatim from somewhere else, even if you didn't understand that it's not a good idea to do that. You want a cookie for that?
@12, 13: My investigations (read as: "copying Alleged's gibberish into Google and hitting enter") have revealed that the argument used against what I said were cuntpasted from a Newsmax article. Newsmax is a biased, untrustworthy news agency that dedicates itself to spin and misleading stories, and has deliberately falsified stories more than once.
spend a little more time on google, you well read well educated lad, and report back to slog on the current status of CBO estimates on the cost of ObamaCare. you will find all exactly as the troll has said.
or not. the truth is going to burn like hell.
Here's the most recent Congressional Budget Office estimate of the financial impact of the health care law: http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/113xx/doc1137…
And here's a translation from a mainstream, objective news source:
"Cost:
$940 billion over ten years.
Deficit:
Would reduce the deficit by $143 billion over the first ten years. That is an updated CBO estimate. Their first preliminary estimate said it would reduce the deficit by $130 billion over ten years. Would reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion dollars in the second ten years."

The following source breaks things down nicely as well:

Yeah, the truth burns like hell all right, if by "hell" you mean "Happy Enlightening Lemonade Lozenges" (whatever those are). Now tell me how these facts are all just liberal propaganda, and how your cousin Bubba exposes it all on his blog.
damn Jr for a well read well educated lad you're one slow learning dumb fuck.
All three of your links are from March, son.
You're still regurgitating the dumb cunt's koolaid (well, spewing it out your nose, actually...)
not even Pelosi is still claiming ObamaCare will save anyone any money.
In fact not a single Democrap up for re-election will go near ObamaCare.
so Jonathan's post is actually pretty awkward for HomoliberalNation, like a bridesmaid ripping a big wet fart during the vows....
Hell, the article you plagiarized was from May. Don't believe me? Check it again, you foolish ninny.
Also, you are THIS mad
