    So as we all (anyone with a brain) know Obama's number were full of :turd:. Now, we see a 30% increase in a one year period and Obama tells us it's "technicalities"

    Is there anything this stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure won't lie about? :mystery:

    30%, huh? And they say there's no inflation. Yeah, that's proof that the Obama education plan is working wonders!

    When asked to explain what "still saves the government money overall" means, patients with ODS were unable to do more than stare blankly and drool on themselves before attacking the questioner.

    On the contrary. The law, if it had been read and was a good law would not need all these modifications. We are told this is legislation that is increasing the cost, but not overall. By simple math (I know, no math in RR) there must be a cut/savings somewhere. Can anyone tell us where that is?

    Cause it sure smells like more Obama :bullshit: math to me.

    Um... simple answer: Obama is a socialist. And socialists never. Never. NEVER. deliver what they say they're going to deliver.

    EVER.

    Is this basic fact really still lost on anyone?

    It's only the beginning, folks.

    This is the tip of the iceberg.

    My health care cost through my company have gone up 50% with diminished benefits since Obamacare. It has really hurt my family.

    The cost overruns do not surprise me at all. And as Sokar mentioned this is the tip of the iceberg. If Obama wins, which he will likely do, the next four years will be even worse since he doesn't have to worry about re-election. Fucking sucks big time.

    Yeah, because there are no differences between Obamacare and the Constitution.

    As the article states, healthcare reform will save the government money. Can you say the same about the Constitution?

    This is what happens when you have to pass the bill to see what's in it.

    #1 Obamacare is not saving money. But there has never been a government program that has been under budget.
    #2 The Constitution is only a problem for tyrants.

    So essentially the amount of savings has decreased but it is still less than if we had done nothing.

    1) You can proclaim that all you want but all the accounts say, yes, it does save money vs if we had done nothing.

    2) There is absolutely no constitutional problems, the courts have upheld Massachusetts plan and it will uphold this one. Anyone who has looked at has said that.

    If things aren't actually improving and they are costing more money then I don't see why we passed the monstrosity in the first place. The functions provided for under the constitution are valid government jobs and not things that are or could adequately be done under non-government provisions of our economy with the right incentives / direction from D.C. Unfortunately, once the politicians got the idea that they were supposed to manage the economy, they decided to use that particular hammer on every problem in the economy from then until the apocalypse.

    :evidence:

    You have to be the among the most ignorant people ever. First of all, the Massachusetts law was a state law and as such not subject to the Reserved Powers Act.

    Second, a court has already found it unconstitutional.

    My premiums haven't gone up at all, or if they have, it's been negligible.

    Are you sure your insurance company isn't raising its rates for other reasons and using "Obamacare" as a convenient excuse, or that your employer isn't simply cutting back on the percentage it pays and counting on its employees to blame the gub'mint instead of the boss? (Very few people actually know what percentage of their premiums are paid by their employers.)
