Instead of “ObamaCare”, I like the term “Zer0Care”.

It is much more descriptive

BTTT!

It’s all about O all the time.

With so much doubt about Obamacare, can’t we just say, there’s too much doubt about the cost, too much doubt as to whether it will solve the nation’s healthcare problems, etc. and Just Drive A Stake Through Its Heart????

Absolutely agree!!! Just kill the whole bill, including Cap n Tax!!! Go ahead Congress (especially you DimWits). Take the rest of the month off. In fact take the rest of 2009 and 2010 off (up till election time). Our homes & property & personal well being are safer when you're not in session. Including the SCOTUS and usurper commie pig TOTUS.

"In CBO's judgment, the probability is high that no savings would be realized ... but there is also a chance that substantial savings might be realized."

WT? Does anyone here speak Washingtonese?

Yeah, it means the CBO smacked Ubama for peeing on the rug but then patted him on the head and threw him a bone.

Every single health policy, even Medicare has a schedule of benefits or explanation of benefits which you get to see BEFORE YOU BUY IT. Does Obamacare? If so, where is it? If not,why not, what are they hiding

Money should not be the only gauge of any reform.

Good point. But at least the CBO's guestimates of the costs hurt the bill and/or force more cost reduction which means less healthcare "allowed" which hurts the bill.

Which is also why they're in a hurry to pass it before folks find out the care limits already in there.
