• Costs? Costs? What costs? I thought it was freeeeee. I keep hearing, that it is going to provide freeeee healthcare for everyone. Isn't the Easter Bunny going to pay for it? WTF?

  • Can't be the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, or any other religious based figure. Its unconstitutional.

    • The Tooth Fairy then.

• Those 16,500 new IRS agents are going to be awfully busy.

• Maybe we could get Putin to immigrate. At least he is a patriot.

• Of course the costs are higher now. Obomacare has the three basic tenets of any commie plan:
  1) the idea or plan is based on/sold on a lie
  2) The real costs will be 10x, 100x, and sometimes greater than what was estimated/promised in step 1)
  3) The plan, if implimented, will be terribly detrimental to the populace in general

  All the plans and great ideals of the left and today's democrat party have these three intrinsic impediments. Communism in general, global warming, and now Obamacare...i am sure the posters here have numerous more examples.

• How dare you question obamacare, it's the new usa , so get ready to pay

  • So that's what they meant by "Lean Forward".

• If Medicare and Medicaid are any guide, Obama Care is going to cost a lot more than $2.5 trillion.

• For the democrat party and 0bama, this is a feature and not a bug.

  0bama lied, grandma died.....and our economy.

• Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the projected cost coming dangerously close to half the federal government's estimated revenue for the entire country per year?.

  • No, that is the ten year estimate. IOW, if it were an average each year the Obama tax will cost the federal government 260 BILLION DOLLARS per year. It will be step functioned because of the taxes hitting us in the gut before any outflows. The thing that is not mentioned is that is only the federal cost. Each state will be on the hook for anywhere between 1 to 10 billion too at the beginning of the tax hike. Then it will only go up. My best guess would be at the end of ten years the states will be on the hook for 10 to 70 billion each year.

• Wow, I didn't see this coming!!!!!! <<< that's sarcasm ya'll

• The cost curve is bending down while the tax payers are bending over.
