Obamacare's expanding costs...

...keep....well...expanding.

This week the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) updated their estimates of the tax increases embedded in Obamacare, i.e. the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Turns out it’s not so affordable. Over ten years Obamacare represents over a $1 trillion in new taxes. The chart below, reproduced from the House Committee on Ways and Means, outlines the more than 20 new taxes comprised in the law.
A freaking disaster that is designed to fail.

I'm wondering if you are aware that the CBO and JCT links embedded in your top post link are about the cost to taxpayers for repealing Obamacare -- not the cost of Obamacare.

According to the CBO and JCT, repealing Obmacare is much more expensive than keeping Obamacare.

Repeal of the PPACA means greater costs to US taxpayers and greater debt.

Don't believe it? Here's the CBO and JCT links from the top post link.

It's a shame the way they are acting..never accomplishing any thing. Hoyer had some choice words for their behavior..

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (MD) took to task shaming John Boehner today before House Republicans left for vacation, while leaving piles of work behind them, and he brought up the J word: Jobs.
Hoyer said, “Today their new found populism is nowhere to be seen, as they vote to repeal tax credits and subsidies designed to make health care more affordable for those same people: working families and small businesses who haven’t been able to get insurance and are left at risk without the security of it. Suddenly, the party that never met a tax break it didn’t like is pursuing a tax increase of more than $1 trillion on small businesses and the middle class. As a result, they are making health care more expensive, and millions of Americans will no longer be able to access affordable health care.”

It's a train heading full speed toward a broken track. I could say that I feel sorry for the Obama sycophants when they realize the true cost, and negative impact to them, of supporting him and his disastrous policies , but I don't. Even if Obamacare hurts me as much as it hurts them I will still laugh my ass off.

I guess since there was never any sign of "HYPERINFLATION!" the redkooks needed a new angle - Obamacare would lay low, all we hold dear. The current news around Obamacare doesn't seem to be supporting their thesis so....what's next?

What's next is you need to get up to speed on the current news regarding Obamacare. My guess is you're getting your news from MSNBC. The bill is a clusterfuck of biblical proportions. Why else does the Congress and the Unions not want it? Why did Obama delay the business mandate until after the 2014 election?

F**k Man, wake up.

Obamacare is going to be the next "Obama Motors" in that it looks as if they outcome's going to be better than even its most fervent advocates would've thought.

If the Pubs don't lose their balls they will defund the piece of shit bill. If they don't then we all one day will be wishing they had.
