It's OK - I'm sure the actual cost of Obomney Care will be less than projected anyway

The Affordable Care Act is no one's vision of perfect health care reform. It was compromise legislation passed with the understanding that the perfect shouldn't be permitted to defeat the good, and that needed corrections would be identified, enacted, and implemented over time.

A responsible Congress will have no trouble remedying this problem before it costs Uncle Sam a dime when that aspect of the law kicks in two and a half years from now.

By repealing it; assuming it is not declared unconstitutional

I'm sorry. Help me out here. What are we comparing the cost of the Affordable Care Act to? The completely unfunded 1/2 Trillion Dollar Republican corporate welfare program that preceded it? Or the completely fictional Republican health care system they promised to replace it with?

The completely unfunded 1/2 Trillion Dollar Republican corporate welfare program that preceded it? -UH?

Or the completely fictional Republican health care system they promised to replace it with? - Can't replace it until it is repealed.

Instead of adding more expensive social programs perhaps more importantly we should be trying to figure out how to finance the $60,000 billion unfunded liabilities in SS & Medicare or perhaps the senate can find time to pass a budget for the first time in 2 years.

Uh? What? You mean you forgot about the UNPAID for "Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act" signed into law by the last Republican President and championed by the same Congressional Republicans that now cry about the deficit? You forgot how Republicans instituted a communist, anti-free market system that forced American tax payers to cough up whatever price the drug companies asked for their drugs? Oh and the small fact that not one dime of it was paid for? Forgot all about that, huh? No worries...so has every Republican that signed it - the same Republicans that are now fighting tooth and nail to bring it back - with you cheering them on all the way.

"Can't replace it until its repealed." BS. There was no "repeal" vote taken before the new law championed by the current president took effect. His plan was outlined in detail throughout his entire presidential campaign. Thats the difference between people who are serious about reforming the healthcare system and people who just are pissed off because the guy they voted for lost the election.

Not sure where you are going here. I am talking about repealing the current obamacare.

obamacare does not address the true costs of healthcare as the costs are still rising at 9% a year. All it does is add another expensive social welfare program that we can't afford

Out of one side of their mouth Republicans cry about Obama's social giveaway healthcare program. Out of the other side of their mouth they cry that its unconstituional for Obama to demand people pay their own way. Let me know what side of the mouth wins the argument. Republicans used to believe that people should be responsible for their own welfare...and they believed that right up unitl the day the current president endorsed it.


But you are correct...many of the costs are still out of control - not the least of which is the continued inability for Medicare to negotiate its drug prices as a result of Medicare Part D instituted by the Fiscal Champions of Congress (aka Republicans).

Nothing inconsistent here. It is another expensive social welfare program and it is unconstitutional for congress to mandate that people buy a product.
