Shared Sacrifice: Eliminating Obama Care saves $2 Trillion- do it for the US Obama

[Neotrotsky]

Shared Sacrifice: Eliminating PapaObama Care Would save Over $1.4 Trillion

To see the bill’s true first-decade costs, we need to start the clock when the costs would actually start in any meaningful way: in 2014. The CBO says that Obamacare would cost $2.0 trillion in the bill’s real first decade (from 2014 to 2023) — and much more in the decades to come.

But $2.0 trillion wouldn’t be the total ten-year costs. Instead, that would merely be the “gross cost of coverage provisions.” Based on earlier incarnations of the proposed overhaul, the total costs would be about a third higher (the exact number can’t be gleaned from the CBO’s analysis, which is only preliminary and is not a full scoring) — making the total price-tag between $2.5 and $3 trillion over the bill’s real first decade. ​

UPDATE: thanks to Greenbeard reminding
it is actually 1.4 Trillion

 

[Greenbeard]

The CBO already analyzed the repeal legislation that passed the House months ago. Repeal increases the deficit.

Thanks for reminding me

Your PDF from CBO is date Jan 6 2011 and preliminary
And we are speaking of Papa Obama mandatory coverage provisions by themselves
The confusion is my fault.

We are not talking about the 500 billion it takes from Medicare


Don't forget, CBO came back out on Feb 18, 2011 and updated

By repealing those coverage provisions of PPACA and the Reconciliation Act, over the 2012-2021 period H.R. 2 would yield gross savings of $1,390 billion and net savings (after accounting for the offsets just mentioned) of $1,042 billion.​

So still saving but just $1.042 Trillion

Well, considering it's a flaming piece of batcrap, I'd be fine with repealing it, if it saved sixty cents...

And the link in your OP is from March 18, 2010.

Don't forget, CBO came back out on Feb 18, 2011 and updated

Indeed. And what's the update?

January 6, 2011:

As a result of changes in direct spending and revenues, CBO expects that enacting H.R. 2 would probably increase federal budget deficits over the 2012–2019 period by a total of roughly $145 billion, plus or minus the effects of technical and economic changes that CBO and JCT will include in the forthcoming estimate.​

February 18, 2011:

CBO and JCT estimate that, on balance, the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting H.R. 2 would cause a net increase in federal budget deficits of $210 billion over the 2012-2021 period (see Table 1).​

How much more will it cost without it?

 

[Neotrotsky]

You mean with the 500 billion cuts in Medicare to help pay for it?

Well the Republicans could cut 500 billion as well from Medicare, if you want

Again the insurance part
If you want Republicans to cut 500 billion from Medicare like his whole bill does
I am sure that can be arranged

Of course it can. The Ryan proposal retains the ACA's Medicare spending reductions, yet still takes nearly three decades to produce a balanced budget.

The premise of your thread seems to be that shifting costs onto state governments, safety net providers, and private payers (i.e. eliminating the insurance provisions of the ACA) saves money. That seems to be rapidly becoming an article of faith on the far right.

That "article of faith" would disappear if Dems start taking back more statehouses.

It does change anything for people over 55
and transitions all others in

Less of an over all shock than Papa Obama Care
It is a better system because it introduces market elements into the system
and allows people more control of their health care decisions

Otherwise, politicians just try to use our own money against for us political purposes
Taking the politician out of the equation as much as possible is always good


Furthermore
Papa ObamaCare would increase the burden of government spending by an average of nearly 4.7 percent each year.
Ryan does not let spending grow as rapidly, cumulative spending over that period will be $6.2 billion

It is really a matter of beliefs and approach
Nothing the gov't does gives me faith in a top down heavy bureaucratic system
that is designed to eventually force single payer on us
For the majority, this is too much power to give over to the federal gov't
One only needs to look at all politicians behaviour to see that they
should not be making these decisions for us.

I could only image the kind of "nanny " state our gov't would produce once
they had a vested interest in what we eat, do

P.J. O’Rourke: “If you think health care is expensive now—just wait until it’s free.”

As such,
we can agree to disagree


as opposed to arguing ad nauseum

 

[Greenbeard]

and transitions all others in

No, it doesn't transition anyone in. Those under 55 drop off the cliff, in that they find that Medicare no longer exists for them. Those above 55 who are grandfathered in are ever so gently coerced into abandoning traditional Medicare (as Medicare's bargaining power relative to providers steadily erodes as the program is phased out of existence) and looking for a private insurance plan.

And yes, it changes things for people currently over 55. It reverses the closing of the donut hole, cuts funds for 9 million dual eligibles through its Medicaid cuts, and eliminates the options and benefits added to Medicare in the ACA, not to mention preserving the Medicare savings that the right finds so odious.

Less of an over all shock than Papa Obama Care
It is a better system because it introduces market elements into the system
and allows people more control of their health care decisions

The "market elements" in the Ryan plan are the same ones pushed in the ACA: health insurance exchanges. The difference is that the federal contributions in Ryan's plan aren't competitively bid (i.e. a "market element") as they are in the ACA, they're set administratively (by the government!) and indexed inadequately. Not to mention that given the risk profile of the Medicare-age population, it's far from certain a seniors-only exchange is an attractive proposition for an insurer.

The reality is that in a decent system, control of one's health care occurs at the provider level and not the payer level. Competition at the provider level shouldn't be sacrificed for competition at the payer level.

 

[hellofromwarsaw]

If it's Pub, and you're not mega rich, you can be certain it suqs. Health Reform will be the most popular program ever, immmediately...

Love the Ryan vs.Obama spending graph- where's the revenue/deficit graph, Pub Dupe?

 

[Neotrotsky]

Yes it transitions into a new plan; Medicare no exist as we know it
So what, another bloated gov't program that can't deliver on its promises
Which is why we are here to begin with

This is not about preserving Medicare as we’ve always known it.
That is already gone, eviscerated by the PapaObama Care anyway


Control at the provider level is best driven by competition by the consumer
at the market level

Ryan’s proposal also eliminates the Independent Payment Advisory Board.
Another gov't agency to seek out and eliminate care for seniors. Congress
ceded nearly all control of Medicare spending to this unelected board.
This is not how our democracy is suppose to work


PapaObama care was not well thought out; it the Democrats "one-shot" to get
the gov't foot in the door, they pushed any crap through or as Pelosi said
"we have to pass it to see what is in it"

Indeed we only have to see the the thousands of waivers pass out in a cloak and dagger
process thorough the HHS- this is not how a democracy is suppose to work.

Papa Obama cutting secret deals with Big Pharma to increase their profits in return
for their support of his bill- this is not how a democracy is suppose to work

Even today, we find out

A major provision of the healthcare reform law designed to prevent businesses from dropping coverage for their workers could inadvertently leave families without access to subsidized health insurance

Healthcare law could leave families with high insurance costs


Furthermore, the bill has even had a part in suppressing employment due to more unintended consequences
and even more

800,000 Jobs Gone: CBO Admits Health Care Law Will Kill Jobs

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jskjci1ZL9Q"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jskjci1ZL9Q[/ame]

Again, this bill will do nothing except drive us toward a single payer system
I know this attractive for some, but for the majority it is not

Increasing statist controls over health care is not the solution
bringing back free market forces is the desirable choice

- allow competition across state lines
- tort reform
- take the gov't created artificial barriers between the final consumer and the price
etc




As such,
we can agree to disagree


as opposed to arguing ad nauseum

Neo- your links are pure fear mongering Pubcrappe- the Health system will be tinkered with forever. GD Pubs prefer costs doubling every eight years and care worries being the countries # 1 worry, insurers charging whatever they want, cutting people off on technicalities...BRILLIANT!!

No it would be much better for people like Pelosi or some faceless
bureaucrat to decide that for us ...

The statist crony capitialism we have now increases the economic of scales in
health care creating fewer and larger companies. The gov't interjection into the market
place creates many of the same problems it then tries to "fix" by dishing out
their "feudal" favors to whoever they so choose.

Free market does not call for no gov't
But, it does not call for what we have today
crony capitalism

[Greenbeard]

Medicare no exist as we know it

Indeed! Rightwingers tend to overlook this fact when considering the Ryan/Republican plan. Kudos for recognizing this.

Ryan’s proposal also eliminates the Independent Payment Advisory Board.

And yet one wonders whether his proposed Health Services Commission and Quality Forum (unelected boards! scary!) will rear their heads again.

Indeed we only have to see the the thousands of waivers pass out in a cloak and dagger process thorough the HHS- this is not how a democracy is suppose to work.

Not very cloak and dagger, given that the criteria for receiving an annual limit waiver (i.e. demonstration that compliance with the annual limit phaseout will generate large premium increases or significant decrease in access to benefits) are clearly posted and the GAO's audit of the process found that CCIIO is doing exactly what it says it's doing ("...we found that CCIIO granted waivers mostly for applications that projected the annual limit restriction would result in a significant premium increase of more than 10 percent, in addition to a significant decrease in access to benefits. Conversely, most of the denied applications projected a premium increase of 6 percent or less.")

Furthermore, the bill has even had a part in suppressing employment due to more unintended consequences and even more

Actually, additional financial security for those hard hit by health costs was an intended consequence of passing the law. Which is the source of that "suppression" of employment you're referring to according to CBO ("The expansion of Medicaid and the availability of subsidies through the exchanges will effectively increase beneficiaries’ financial resources. Those additional resources will encourage some people to work fewer hours or to withdraw from the labor market.").

- allow competition across state lines

I've already stated my view: Competition at the provider level shouldn't be sacrificed for competition at the payer level. You obviously take the opposite point of view.

- tort reform

Sure.

- take the gov't created artificial barriers between the final consumer and the price

What "gov't created artificial barriers" would those be?

The statist crony capitialism we have now increases the economic of scales in
health care creating fewer and larger companies. The gov't interjection into the market
place creates many of the same problems it then tries to "fix" by dishing out
their "feudal" favors to whoever they so choose.

Now exchanges, which you just hailed as a needed introduction of "market elements into the system," are "statist crony capitalism"? Perhaps you need to take a few moments and figure out what you actually believe.
