WASHINGTON — Congressional budget referees say Senate legislation that's now the foundation for President Barack Obama's health care plan would cut the federal deficit by $118 billion over 10 years.
The Congressional Budget Office says the $875 billion, 10-year plan would provide coverage to 31 million people who'd otherwise be uninsured. And it says the cost would be more than offset in savings from changes in Medicare and other programs.
Obama's plan would build on the legislation passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve, by expanding subsidies for health insurance premiums, closing the Medicare prescription coverage gap, and making scores of other changes.
No estimates are yet available for Obama's latest proposal, but Democratic leaders want to keep the 10-year cost at around $950 billion.

I wonder why?
4 years of tax collections and only 6 years paying benefits.
Only an idiot believes this garbage.

Yeah they conveniently leave the part out where we pay 4 yrs before anything happens, must be that new math they use in DC.
And besides wasn't the POTUS out telling everyone that this would be budget neutral not to long ago?

cuts the deficit by 118 billion can't deny the facts 333.

Yes I can, its complete shit.
Would you lease a car over a 10 year term where you pay month after month for 4 years and only get possesion of the car in the 5th year?
Of course not!
This whole thing is a scam and shame on you for buying into these lies.

Of course it is, the only thing this does is give the perception that it is actually going to do something. And thats all we get from DC, the perception that they give a shit about this country.

Only but the most brain dead among us support this disaster of a bill.

People support it because in the liberal mind there is no such thing as personal responsibility. The people that don't have insurance and that are poor are the victims. When in reality poor life choices have put them in the predicment.

Even most of the libs on Huff post realize Obama is a lying sack of shit.
Couldnt you fools at least put up a qualified honest black person for the first black president?
After this disaster, no black person will ever ever get elected.

I guess maybe that's where I have an issue. Yes, I'll agree that there is no constitutional right to healthcare, but I'm not comfortable with the "fuck you" approach. Just seems to inhumane because I don't agree that it's usually poor life choices. When you see things like people going bankrupt for medical expenses and losing their jobs because of a piss poor economy, it just has me thinking that perhaps we should be helpful.
Of course, I'm not certain how to eliminate freeloaders from raping the system and I haven't really seen any controls in place to prevent that (at least with the current bill). But I think they may be a very small part of the problem.
