They should be immediately terminated for incompetence and non-performance of their duties.

If the bill was so huge that it was impossible to read, maybe THAT will cause them to create bills that ARE readable.

Someone sent me this in an email. It was attributed to Ben Stein.

News from The Associated Press

CBO has come out with a new estimate on the cost of the Affordable Health Care Act. Twice as much as the original estimate!

· Soaring costs. ObamaCare will cost $1.76 trillion over a decade, according to a new projection released Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office, rather than the $940 billion forecast when it was signed into law.

The new 10-year projections cover nine years of ObamaCare’s implementation (2013-2022). Original estimates counted only six years of implementation — a budget gimmick to obscure the true cost of the law. At this rate, the conservative estimates of ObamaCare’s cost will be $2 trillion over 10 years, not the $1 trillion that President Obama promised.

· Lost coverage. Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) released a statement saying that the CBO’s estimate also shows that the new health law will dramatically increase Medicaid spending and result in 4 million fewer people getting health insurance through their jobs. So much for being able to keep the coverage you have now “no matter what,” as the president promised.

A new poll from The New York Times and CBS News reveals that a substantial majority of Americans — 57 percent to 36 percent — favor an exemption for religious-affiliated employers. And a sizable majority — 51 percent to 40 percent — still favors a religious and moral exemption for all employers.

That's why it's Affordable!

One can only hope that the doubling of the cost of Obamacare will result in a doubling of the number of people against it.

Don't be fooled.

The 1% will pick up the tab!!

Read this in another forum and had to share.

Let me get this straight. We've been "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, declared deficit neutral by a CBO that only underestimated SS and Medicare costs by about 100 trillion dollars, give or take a few trillion, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, gaveled into law by a Speaker who states we have to pass the damn bill to find out what's in it, signed into law by a President who smokes, supported by a first diet guru with a backside the size of a battleship beam, exclaimed to be a big effin' deal by a sleepy VP with Attention Deficit Disorder, considered to be such a great plan by the unions that hundreds of them supported it, then promptly applied for and were granted exemptions from it, enforced by an Attorney General with a terrible case of Amnesia, policed by 16,000 new IRS agents who are "here to help you", with funding administered by a Treasury Secretary who "forgot" to pay his taxes, to be overseen by a Surgeon General who's obese, and financed by a country that's broke. What could possibly go wrong?

Pretty much sums it up, carry on.

Lack of an affordable public health care IS a huge economic liability. 40% of homelessness being due to the lack of affordable public health care IS a huge economic liability. Obama care could never be worse than the current extortion system of health care scamming in the US.
The NAFTA agreement was twice the size of a Nanaimo phone book. I know . I filled a dumpster with copies, after the deal was sealed.

Lack of an affordable public health care IS a huge economic liability.

And as the CBO has indicated, will be an even BIGGER economic liability under Obamacare.
