Okay, how about, it will be more expensive than doing nothing according to Health and Human Services per today's AP story. That savings from Medicare required to help pay for it will not materialize. Again from same article.
It's expected that expansion coverage to a larger percentage of the population will increase cost in the short-run. The cost savings come into play over the longer run. As for the second claim, that's not from the AP article. That's from conservative bloggers commenting on the AP article. The AP article cites that the report addresses if it feels the savings are political possible.
Au Contraire. In the short run, taxes go into effect and services are delayed for three years. That is how the cost is contained over ten years. Neat trick that.
Paying for 7 years of service with ten years of taxes. After the tenth year, cost will continue to escalate and the first three year cushion will be gone.
It would really help you if you stopped listening to Rush and Beck for your news. The tax provisions of the bill kick in at the same time the subsidies do.
