at 1:54 PM, Friday March 16, 2012 EDT Ask the CBO? Projections and estimates? Probably depends on who you talk to, but regardless, we all know government programs eventually cost way more than originally intended.........and they end up broken. This will be no different.

at 2:05 PM, Friday March 16, 2012 EDT Yeah, but it's not really a federal government program. There is funding through the federal government for states to setup insurance co-ops for use in their state with federal funding to help get them running. I think obamacare is more about the mandate of having health insurance. And yes there will be a pricetag associated with getting it going, but it will be each state actually running the co-ops, or atleast that is how i remember it.

at 4:26 PM, Friday March 16, 2012 EDT Thrax, you be wrong:
CBO and JCT now estimate that the insurance coverage provisions of the ACA will have a net cost of just under $1.1 trillion over the 2012–2021 period—about $50 billion less than the agencies’ March 2011 estimate for that 10-year period.

at 3:35 AM, Saturday March 17, 2012 EDT price tag have obama care is actually zero since it pays for itself but if you must know it will be saving us EVEN MORE than previously estimated by the CBO: http://www.tnr.com/blog/jonathan-cohn/101741/cbo-obamacare-cost-deficit-lie-double-price-fox
furthermore, a pipeline through canada takes years to complete and wouldn't affect gas prices until well into the 2020s and obama is out of office. politically it's not savvy and even if it were to have some affect on gas prices it could be conceived as shipping construction jobs abroad. there is no hypocrisy but the conservative hypocrisy. |
