Thread: Supreme Court Upholds Obama Health Care Subsidies[W:700]

Thanks, Obama!

(FYI- here, in the real world, we know the law is virtually fully implemented, with the employer mandate which affects only a small number of businesses still not implemented.)

Unfortunately what you are doing is taking CBO estimates as gospel ignoring the accuracy of the CBO and the reality that their assumptions are made based upon information given them by Congress. Until there are real actual savings all you do is give us opinions of someone else. There isn't any Federally created Social program that cost what it was supposed to cost and do what it was supposed to do.

So anything that increases in cost but at a slower rate is good in the liberal world? How does that eliminate the deficit ultimately reducing the debt and how do you know the CBO PROJECTIONS are going to be accurate?

Why do you buy what the Federal Govt. and CBO tell you when their history is so bad and they have already generated an 18.2 trillion dollar debt? What is going to happen when the newly high risk individuals now covered under ACA hit the market with their higher costs healthcare treatments? Do you realize that an increase in Medicaid Patients does not lower healthcare costs but rather shifts some of those costs to the state?

Please stop buying what the liberal elite tell you but rather research what they tell you and verify the rhetoric with actual results.

I showed you the skyrocketing costs of healthcare from 1980 ( just over $1,000 per person ) to
2005 ( over $7,500 per person ) . The U.S. spent $8,402 per person on health care in 2010.

Yes, and 8900 in 2012. Again why do you believe insuring more people many of whom are high risk and formerly uninsured are going to lower healthcare costs and can you name for me Just one Federal Social program that ever cost what it was projected to cost and actually do something other than create dependence?

Do you realize that CBO only gives PREDICTIONS based upon the assumptions they are given? If the assumptions are wrong what does that do to the predictions?

I point to actual results NOT predictions. CBO has PROJECTED that ACA will cost less but ACA hasn't been fully implemented so there are no official results yet. You do realize that much of ACA was front loaded with tax increases which obviously will lower projected costs but the reality is there haven't been significant reductions because the program is still relatively new. You want badly to believe what you are told but history presents a different picture and is reality.

If the assumptions are wrong it would be because lawmakers repeal some of the revenue neutral funding.
