Wait, we did.
CBO: Obamacare to cost $1.76 trillion over 10 yrs | Campaign 2012 | Washington ExaminerPresident Obama's national health care law will cost $1.76 trillion over a decade, according to a new projection released today by the Congressional Budget Office, rather than the $940 billion forecast when it was signed into law.
Democrats employed many accounting tricks when they were pushing through the national health care legislation, the most egregious of which was to delay full implementation of the law until 2014, so it would appear cheaper under the CBO's standard ten-year budget window and, at least on paper, meet Obama's pledge that the legislation would cost "around $900 billion over 10 years." When the final CBO score came out before passage, critics noted that the true 10 year cost would be far higher than advertised once projections accounted for full implementation.
Today, the CBO released new projections from 2013 extending through 2022, and the results are as critics expected: the ten-year cost of the law's core provisions to expand health insurance coverage has now ballooned to $1.76 trillion. That's because we now have estimates for Obamacare's first nine years of full implementation, rather than the mere six when it was signed into law. Only next year will we get a true ten-year cost estimate, if the law isn't overturned by the Supreme Court or repealed by then. Given that in 2022, the last year available, the gross cost of the coverage expansions are $265 billion, we're likely looking at about $2 trillion over the first decade, or more than double what Obama advertised.
The CBO report is here.

We told you so....
Damned right we did.
Pelosi, Reid and the Dems played major league games with the numbers to get a good CBO score. All so they could be part of the "Historic Moment." Fucking assholes
Anyone who thinks anything the Govt has a hand in is gonna be less expensive or better is a fucking idiot in my book.
One can only hope and pray the SC finds this clusterfuck of a bill Unconstitutional and kicks the fucker right to the curb.

You should have seen and heard the things I did in the late 30's and early 40's.People today don't have a clue about who's really on their side. The politicans must work together for a democracy to ever produce a goddamned thing. I'm 77 years old and there's never been a more phucked up political situation in this country's history.
Ever hear of scrap iron collections
What about $25 war bonds
What about rationing of everything from meat to gasoline
What about a 91% tax bracket
You people and your goddamned cell phones and I pads make my rectum crave lime juice. You have to get hungry a few times before you'll ever be worth a good country shit.

Hey it is still cheaper than the Iraq fiasco...
The necessary Iraq War was a benefit and had an end in sight.
Remember when Obama promised that Obamacare would "not add one thin dime to the deficit"? What happened to that? Why is it the Left here needs to deflect to BOOOSSHHH? Why they can't they get up and say, Obama lied when he said that. He knew he was lying to get the bill passed and sell it.
Why are they unable to admit this? Is it mental?
Pubs caused THAT Great Depression too. Thank God dems got in fast this time to avert the effects, but that costs money.
This OP "crisis" is total BS for the dupes. NOTHING has changed. And Obamacare will be even more popular than Medicare/Aid, and will SAVE huge amounts of money in the future, dittoheads/dupes of the bloated greedy rich/corporations...change the channel, sheeple...

The Reps caused the GD? WOW thats a good one. I'll have to remember who to blame. Of course FDR did everything to extend it but hey, he was a Dem so its okay.
If you want to believe Obmacare is gonna save you money and be just about perfect then knock yourself out.
Of course you're in for one rude awakening when the actual costs start dropping on you like a bomb.
Get back to us when that happens.

Yeah, because it was a great benefit to the United States to make sure Iran faced less challenges in the region and for people to be butchered for having poor taste in fashion.

You're full of SHIT you ignorant cock sucker. The stock market crash of 1929 was the MAJOR reason for the great depression you pathetic, leftist HACK.
More revisionist, BULL SHIT history from the twisted mind of a LIBERAL.
OPINIONS don't carry any more weight than a fart in a wind storm skippy...Pubs caused THAT Great Depression too. Thank God dems got in fast this time to avert the effects, but that costs money.

That's the popular narrative is that the crash caused the Depression, but it's not accurate. The Depression was caused by excessive speculation. Allowing stock sales in fractional amounts (assuming the loans would be paid off by rising prices), overproduction of agricultural goods that resulted in sharp price declines, and huge bets on real estate that flopped.
Yep and FDR's policies did nothing but extend it.
Rather like Barry's policeis of today.

Let's try this another way, because it seems like you don't understand what's being discused. Which policy(s) do you think ended the Depression?
