The Affordable Health Care Act (Popularly referred to as ObamaCare) is a massive tax increase, and because Congress has the power to levy taxes, it's been upheld as Constitutional.
- In March, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the law would cost $1.76 trillion from 2013 to 2022, nearly double the $900 billion Obama quoted in September 2009. That's only a partial picture. Beginning in 2014, the next 10 years of ObamaCare — through 2023 — will cost more than $2 trillion.
- The CBO estimates that as many as 20 million Americans will be forced out of their plans as employers toss workers into government health exchanges to avoid ObamaCare's costs.
- A survey by McKinsey and Co. found that nearly one-third of employers will likely to drop coverage for their workers once ObamaCare kicks in.
- An analysis by the Medicare actuary found that ObamaCare's attacks on Medicare's private insurance options will force nearly 8 million seniors out of the coverage they've chosen.
- Consumer costs will rise. CBO says premiums will increase over the next decade faster than they did in the past five years.
- The Affordable Care Act is just the beginning. It's the door to a single-payer government system run by a DMV-type bureaucracy.
When is the last time that the government managed anything efficiently and without massive cost over-runs? Obama has trotted out Canadian Health Care as an example of where he wants to take us.

Delayed treatment of cancer can be deadly.
But maybe that's Obama's plan for us.
Opus, based on the chart, once the Canadians feel that you need cancer surgery (particularly breast cancer), it's only 6 months until you go under the knife. As you've noted, by then, the Obama Death Panels will have found that you're too far gone to need it, saving the system billions of dollars over time! The beauty of ObamaCare is that anyone that the Democrats care about (and naturally it extends to ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS) are exempted from it.
Sarah Palin said it's the biggest tax increase in history. Would that be why the dems are in a long line saying "No TAX. PENALTY." If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck and the Supreme Court says it's a duck - it IS a duck. Or at least a word that sounds a lot like that.
Wo- Quack
Whatever Obama and friends say is the opposite of true. (I think that means "lie")
LL if a Canadian requiring surgery is fortunate enough to have a hefty bank account there is no wait for surgery, or a very short wait. Our wait times to be seen by a doctor in emergency at the hospitals can be upwards of 24 hours... and that's emergency! I call my doctor to make an appointment and it takes about a month to get in. So ya, this isn't working anymore over here. It never used to be like this but with all of our cutbacks it's pathetic. I have no idea where this will end up, I'm thinking that we're going to become a privatized health care system and it's not too far off. But then again, what in the heck do I know about milking rabbits?
