CBO: Health care bill to cost $829 billion.
Here's the boom-POW!!!!
The Congressional Budget Office added that the measure would reduce federal deficits by $81 billion over a decade and probably lead to "continued reductions in federal budget deficits" in the years beyond.
Notice the CBO doesn't mention anything about the national debt......which is where Congress will borrow money to pay for this program....and guess what....there will be across the board tax hikes for ALL Americans.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Wow, that half of what it cost to level Iraq.
How come Republicans are so convinced it's good to not help other Americans.

But medically bankrupt families with private insurance reported average out-of pocket medical bills of $17,749, while the uninsured's bills averaged $26,971. Of the families who started out with insurance but lost it during the course of their illness, medical bills averaged $22,658. "For middle-class Americans, health insurance offers little protection. Most of us have policies with so many loopholes, co-payments, and deductibles that illness can put you in the poorhouse," said lead author Himmelstein. "Unless you're Warren Buffett, your family is just one serious illness away from bankruptcy."
