Now that's enthusiasm if I ever saw it! LOL! We're about to cross the finish line, eat your hearts out righties!!
Comprehensive health care reform will cost the federal government $940 billion over a ten-year period, but will increase revenue and cut other costs by a greater amount, leading to a reduction of $138 billion in the federal deficit over the same period, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, a Democratic source tells HuffPost. It will cut the deficit by $1.2 trillion over the second ten year period.
The source said it also extends Medicare's solvency by at least nine years and reduces the rate of its growth by 1.4 percent, while closing the doughnut hole for seniors, meaning there will no longer be a gap in coverage of medication. The CBO also estimated it would extend coverage to 32 million additional people.
Here is the breakdown, it's real, it's true and it means the beginning of the end of a long year. A year filled with the most ridiculous talking points coming from rethugs, the most sickening lies and obstruction. But even with this CBO score we have Michael Steele calling it a lie, we have Bonehead Boehner saying "they are gonna RAM, RAM, RAM this bill down the throats of Americans". Give me a break! 50 years of trying to get something done on healthcare reform and suddenly dems are ramming it, making backroom deals, twisting arms, threatening, it's all so laughable. It does nothing but show Americans the desperation of the rethugs to bring down President Obama at the cost of Americas future. How is it none of these conservative protesters got the same insurance rate hike letters as we all did? Or did they get their rate hike but it doesn't matter to them, all they care about is Obamas failure on one of the biggest legislative milestones in our generation.
We are heading into the weekend of the vote and the rethugs are crying and whining more than ever. They have no clue, they have no plan. The ONLY thing they say is let the people buy insurance across state lines. THAT'S IT! We are so sick of listening to the idiotic drivel. I can't fuckin' wait for them to implode after this bill passes.
