Greg, it's not even that complex. They rigged the bill to force the CBO to use its own rules to defacto lie about the costs -- A former director of the CBO descibes how their "surplus" of 138 billion is actually, when you REALLY examine it, a deficit of $562 billion: The Real Arithmetic of Health Care Reform

Remember the heat wave that killed off approximately 15,000 elderly French people in nursing homes a few years ago? I wonder if any bureaucrat has calculated how much money they’ve saved on the care of those people if they’d just had air conditioning in those facilities. When I look at the big elder care liabilities looming over most developed nations, I cannot help but think a plot to kill off the elderly is the next hot conspiracy theory.

This article should make anyone pause to wonder what things will be like in a couple of decades:

Your post nicely explains why some of us laugh when we here Gov figures for any program, but especially health care. Based on all the other Gov plans out there I’m guessing that the numbers we’re being given are wildly below the reality.

“Stephen Macklin:

â€œWhat are they counting on to save them?â€

I believe they are counting on the resulting decrease in population resulting from rationed care to save them a ton of money.”

They’re taking the GEICO commercial to the next outlandish extreme.

Please keep them out of Texas, thank you very much. They’ll stupidly vote Democrat just like they did in Massachusetts and screw up Texas too.

I dunno, there’s always the lead poisoning solution.

so buy land in texas. where do you think the mass. refugees will head for when they quit the state? why, the same place the good folks in michigan and illinois and indiana and joizey and california and ohio et al are heading.

only one thing to do with dumbasses who crapped where they ate and made their states uninhabitable: *exploit* them.
