“re-write would extend health insurance to 96% of the nonelderly U.S. population”

Nonelderly? Obama and Co. are throwing grandma and grandpa under the bus.

and spend $1.055 trillion to do so.

Oboma said he wouldn't sign a bill that increased the deficit in any way. That means the democrats are going to have to steal the money from somewhere else. Guess who's going to end up paying for it? Do you have a job?

The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday a U.S. House health-care system re-write would extend health insurance to 96% of the nonelderly U.S. population by 2019, and spend $1.055 trillion to do so.

Penalties imposed on individuals who did not purchase insurance, and employers who did not offer coverage to their workers, would raise $161 billion over that time-frame. That brings the net cost of the bill to $894 billion through 2019, CBO said.

Um, no, the cost would still be $1.005 trillion, it's just that $161 billion of that would be paid for by fines that deprive people of their liberty to chose to not be insured or try to run a business which doesn't offer employees health insurance (not health care--only physicians, hospitals and the like provide health care). The remaining $894 billion would be paid for by raising taxes on the 49% who still pay them (I know it's 53% now, but just wait) and printing money, thereby ruining everyone with inflation.

So they're counting on people to actually pay a fine if they don't have insurance. Well in my case, they'd be waiting a long time. Hope they take noncompliance into account....not to mention the escalating number of businesses either slashing their workforce or just folding with these onerous tax burdens put on them by our new socialist government.
