The whole thing is a disaster in waiting



1. It's going to bankrupt the States....and I don't mean figuratively

To make "Obamacare" look like a deficit reducer they pushed a large chunk of the cost off onto the States.


California is supposed to somehow come up with an addition 3 billion a year EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CURRENTLY ON THE VERGE OF FILLING FOR BANKRUPTCY.


300 billion of the "deficit reduction" over the next 10 years is done by simply forcing the States to fork over 300 billion

Then they hit up Americans for 250 billion in new taxes (on their health insurance )

and the rest is just "cooking the books".









2.Its going to make insurance more expensive.


The claim that its going to control costs is done by pretending that:

A.)The insurance industry WONT pass the tax along onto consumers

B.)That when people have no choice but to pay whatever the insurance industry demands under penalty of law that insures wont simply jack the rates up.

C.)That requiring insurers to cover pre-existing conditions wont drive premiums up.







3. That the Federal Government can afford to pay for this, even though Baby-boomers are now hitting retirement age and will soon draw trillions in social security benefits.
