Why Obamacare is going to cost us money

[Quantum Windbag]

You start with a problem that the government says costs about $43 billion a year, which is the estimated impact of all those people who do not have health insurance have on the economy, and spend upwards of $200 billion a year to fix it.

I know this makes sense, somehow, but my math skills just aren't up to the task.

Why Obamacare is going to cost us money

"Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer did not have much in common during the three days of debate on the 2010 healthcare law before the Supreme Court March 26-28.

But they did share one essential characteristic. All four will never have to worry about guaranteed access to healthcare.

They won’t have to worry about being bankrupted by medical bills, about being denied needed treatment their doctor recommended because some insurance bean counter deemed it ‘experimental’ or ‘not medically necessary.’

They won’t have to worry about being barred from choosing the provider of their choice because they were ‘out of network’ or forced to keep an unwanted job to maintain their present employer-paid coverage.

Why? It’s not just because of their wealth, or even their federal paychecks or federal health plan.

It’s because all four are over 65, and thus eligible for Medicare – which gives the four justices the same guaranteed coverage that every other American at 65 has. The same coverage that all Americans need and deserve.
