The United States is dimly aware the Health Care Reform will help with deficit reduction. Probably nobody knows that eventually it will look some like as follows:
Insurance Programs
The federal civil service has this concept now.
Mostly, no one Democratic is showing this example at this time.
No one is going to toss their eldest virgin into the flames over National Health Care Reform. Mainly, the Republicans seem to want to get the children now on the plan, up to age 25, off the plan, and into the flames where they think they belong!

ObamaCare will reduce the deficit? That's a myth.
ObamaCare will increase spending overall.
To cook the CBO score, they included 10 Years of taxes and 6 years of benefits. Close to $500B was taken away from Medicare (making that program insolvent sooner) and $53B was taken from Social Security (again, more insolvency sooner). They also used the taxes. for the CLASS long term care act (how are those beneficiaries going to be covered with the taxes going to ObamaCare instead?).
And most importantly of all, the cost estimates for every other entitlement program ever passed have been wildly understated compared to reality. ObamaCare will not be any different.
