The rising costs of health care will put tremendous pressure on the federal budget during the next few decades and beyond, said Elmendorf. In CBOs judgment, the health legislation enacted earlier this year does not substantially diminish that pressure.
doesn't this statement MEAN, obamacare has REDUCED/DIMINISHED that pressure, but not substantially? in other words, health care costs would be slightly higher and cost the gvt slightly more, without obamacare?
how can this be interpreted any other way, than what i said? huh?
It means Obamacare did nothing. There are plenty of free market solutions, but our current 1-party rule is not interested in them. They'd rather have a big government solution which will do nothing to reduce the rising costs of health care as advertised. Obama fails again.
so if obamacare ''did nothing'' it did not ADD money to the projected deficit problem?
Lets pretend you are right.... Obama and company stated that the plan would REDUCE costs and would control rising costs.
