The biggest cost she didn’t include is the INCREASED PREMIUMS we will all pay. Those costs are nowhere in the CBO\’s analyses.

If I recall correctly, Cato Institute put a price tag on them…somewhere around 3 TRILLION $$$ (!) over the first fully-implemented decade.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…..

Does anyone really think that these boneheads CARE about what it does for the general public’s health care???? This is a power grab, nothing more and nothing less and it’s not even debatable. I can’t believe that these stories about costs keep coming out.

The workers are more easily unionized and the few people gain coverage, which are all over-weight non-workers, are mostly Democrats.

It doesn't lower costs – it increases them. It wouldn't help reduce the deficit -it will explode it. It doesn't improve quality – it destroys it. Add to that taking away personal freedoms and replacing that with governmental control makes you wonder, why are we doing this?

Democratic Health Care Bill to Baby Boomers, the message is: BOGU.

Bend Over, Grease Up.

You wanted reform so bad, and that is the message you will get in the end.

ObamaCare doesn’t do anything to reform deficits

ObamaCare has less of a chance reducing the deficit then the late Mr. Ed winning the Kentucky Derby.

Reid still wants to jam this through the Senate in the next three weeks

I would love to jam something thru reid.

But I am hoping his home state will grow a brain and jam him OUT of office.
