CBO lowers ObamaCare price tag: The total pricetag for ObamaCare’s insurance programs will be 20 percent less than expected, the government’s budget office said Monday. The law’s insurance provisions are now expected to cost $571 billion through 2019 -- a drop of about $139 billion from the government's earliest estimates five years ago, according to new estimates by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

The drop in spending is largely due to the smaller-than-expected subsidies load because ObamaCare enrollment has been slower than expected. The CBO had initially expected 13 million people to sign up for ObamaCare by the end of this year, though it since revised that figure to 12 million. The enrollment tally is still far higher than the Obama administration's new target of 9 million people this year. Read more here.

If he was trying to enslave the nation, you be whining about not giving the "brutha" a chance.

Well he's not... So thats another useless point.


Of course you said nothing about what my post was about...not a surprise

Because you have little understanding about why the cost estimates are lower:

"The drop in spending is largely due to the smaller-than-expected subsidies load because ObamaCare enrollment has been slower than expected. The CBO had initially expected 13 million people to sign up for ObamaCare by the end of this year, though it since revised that figure to 12 million. The enrollment tally is still far higher than the Obama administration's new target of 9 million people this year."

The costs whatever they wind up being will be a lot more than Obama promised they would be.

It was a direct refute of what Busybody posted.. Nothing more. I notice you skipped that.

Your thoughts added nothing.

If you'd read the article in full you'd see how he was right.

I did read it. Show me where 2 trillion was mentioned.

1/3 of those not covered are illegal immigrants. How many more would be covered if you Fuck heads on the right wouldn't have fought it so hard.... And how many would have been covered under the Republican offering? Not one single solitary person.


You're up

He didn't post an article, but the two trillion is the projected cost over a decade, not just the next three years:

And the 31 million is mentioned.

Don't bring up a new article. You said I didn't read the one I linked. THAT is where you were supposed to show me where it mentioned 2 trillion, not finding one that suits you.

And i mentioned the 31 million as posted in the story you said I didn't read, if you had read it you'd noticed it mentioned the 1/3 thingy.


BTW... Those are just projections. Yanno

Report: Deficits Will Explode As Soon As Obama Leaves Office…


Barack Obama. Akira Cooper

Conveniently…

Via Townhall:


Federal deficits may have been falling since the end of the recent recession, but thanks to spending increases in major health care programs, including Obamacare, deficits are set to explode in 2017, according to a new report by the Congressional Budget Office.

Thanks to the recent recession and President Obama’s trillion dollar stimulus, the federal budget deficit reached an all time $1.4 trillion high in 2009. Then, as the economy slowly improved and Obama’s stimulus trickled to end, the deficit began to fall. According to the CBO, the deficit will continue to fall to $467 billion in 2016.

Immediately after Obama leaves office, however, deficits are expected to rise steadily thanks mostly to growth in mandatory health care spending programs like Obamacare…

Better raise taxes then. Especially if another Reagan gets into office and triples the national debt.

ObamaCare-CLUSTERFUCK

CBO Now Says 10 Mil Will Lose Employer Health Plans Under ObamaCare

Health Reform: The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger.

The latest CBO report is supposed to be a big win for the Obama administration because the projected costs are 20% below what the CBO first projected in 2010.

But the CBO report also shows that ObamaCare will be far more disruptive to the employer-based insurance market, while being far less effective at cutting the ranks of the uninsured, than promised.

Thanks to ObamaCare, the CBO now expects that 10 million workers will lose their employer-based coverage by 2021.

This finding stands in sharp contrast to earlier CBO projections, which at one point suggested ObamaCare would increase the number of people getting coverage through work, at least in its early years.

The budget office has, in fact, increased the number it says will lose workplace coverage every year since 2011.

The latest CBO finding also thoroughly debunks the many promises ObamaCare backers made when selling the law — about how those with work-based coverage had nothing to worry about.

ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber, for example, said the law was specifically designed "to leave those who are happy with their employer-sponsored insurance alone."

Then Washington Post reporter Ezra Klein reassured readers that "for most companies ... there's little reason to expect their behavior will change."

The White House insisted that "respected independent analysts have concluded that the number of Americans who get their health insurance at work will not change in a significant way."

Obama endlessly repeated his iron-clad guarantee that those who liked their plans could keep them.

And those who suggested at the time that employers might take advantage of ObamaCare to offload their health costs onto taxpayers by dumping workers into the government exchanges were told to read those now-discredited CBO reports.

At the same time CBO was upping ObamaCare's impact on work-based insurance, it's been downgrading the impact on the uninsured.

The CBO now says ObamaCare will leave 31 million uninsured after more than a decade, up from its 23 million forecast made in 2011.

Put another way, the CBO promised that ObamaCare would cover 60% of the uninsured.

Now it says the program will cover less than half, despite spending $2 trillion to subsidize premiums and expand Medicaid.

Does anyone really believe that if Obama announced a plan to spend $2 trillion on a program that would leave 31 million uninsured and force 10 million workers off their employer-based insurance, that even Democrats would have voted for it?

 

[Busybody]

Hilarious to read the angry replies to the promoted #Obamacare ads on Twitter. People write 'don't do it! No Drs will treat you. F off' etc

 

[phrodeau]

When a person gets a better deal through the exchanges than what his employer offers, he's FORCED off, dammit.
