The OP is absolute Pubcrappe- AGAIN: The CBO estimates the costs for ten years in the future- so OF COURSE it's more expensive when it includes more years after it's implemented...ALSO, the CBO doesn't include much of the SAVINGS...
Change the channel, morons, this is nothing new. "Rush IS a big, fat liar"...
You want a diagram? Of COURSE 2010-2010 is cheaper than 2012-2022 in the CBO figures, and they don't DO savings that are only "possible"...MORON dittohead.
Lots of pie in the sky wishful thinking....None of it except the welfare portion (400% of poverty level) will come to fruition without huge tax increases.Did you know?
1. There will be non-profit insurers offering health care plans in the exchanges on top of traditional private insurers (regulated STRONGLY by the health care law). The public option never really disappeared. It was just replaced with non-profit language that will turn into non-profit options just as strong as the proposed public option.
2. Medicaid will be significantly expanded to 15 million poor uninsured americans in 2014.
3. Medicare's trust fund will be extended 12 years. Seniors have free preventive care and check ups. Lots of money have been saved through waste trimming and fraud recollecting.
4. Coverage will be very affordable for small businesses.
5. For everyone up to 400% of the poverty level (millions and millions of americans are under this category), huge tax credits will be available to help them afford coverage.
6. Preventive care will be free in all insurance plans eventually as all plans lose their grandfathered status.
7. Community Health centers will be invested on and will significantly impact health care for the better.
8. The rich people start paying their fair share as promised by Obama in 2013. Payroll taxes on people earning incomes of 250,000 dollars go up. It was a key element in the payment mechanism of the bill. The Bush tax cuts for the rich will expire at the end of this year too.

Daily Kos: some shocking Obamacares facts
The Cost of Obamacare Has Gone Down, Not Up
Republicans rushed to the microphones to announce that new projections show that Obamacare will break the bank. In fact, says Fox News, a CBO reports says that it will cost "twice as much as the original $900 billion price tag."
You will be unsurprised to learn that this is not true. The previous CBO report estimated the costs of expanded insurance coverage between 2012-21. The new report covers 2012-22. In other words, the new report includes an extra year compared to the previous one. That's the main reason that costs are higher.
As Table 1 shows, if you compare the original 2012-21 time period, CBO's new estimate of the cost of Obamacare is $48 billion less than it was last year.
Moral of this story: Never believe anything that Republicans say about Obamacare until you check out the source yourself. But you already knew that.
The Cost of Obamacare Has Gone Down, Not Up | Mother Jones
Mother Jones is contradicting the CBO.
No. the new report includes an extra year compared to the previous one. That's the main reason that costs are higher. This is one small example of how Republicans lie or don't tell the whole story.
If they were telling the truth, they wouldn't get caught lying so much.

If you lie to me once, don't expect me to listen to your second explanation.
Reminds me of the reason why we were in Iraq. After it was exposed that WMD's was not the real reason we were there, I stopped buying all the other reasons that followed that lie assuming they too were lies.
First they said we were there for WMD's, then it was for Freedom, then it was to fight them over there so we woudn't have to fight them at home, etc. Remember those lies one after another?
Drill baby drill and Refineries and Obama are not the reason for high gas prices. Move on.

No, the main reason the costs are higher is the CBO is projecting a higher cost for Medicaid as Obamacare kicks in. Read the report so you can respond intelligently.
It is far from the first time Mother Jones has been caught lying, it won't be the last.
Why not reference the actual CBO estimate. The Washington Examiner is not exactly an unbiased source.

The liberals' plan is to crash our national economy and the US Treasury with Obamacare and other evil methods, then tell everyone they can fix it by implementing socialism.
"Never let a crisis go to waste."
Bush's pill bill is expected to cost about 727 billion over the next 9 years.
Not far from half of what Obamacare is expected to cost.

I know, right? Reactionaries jump on any and every GOP slanted bandwagon. Seriously, they couldn't care less if they're taking it up the ass as long as they stop Liberals from making life more pleasant for all...

Says your average Fox soaked brain. Probably thinks Medicare is a private entity as well as the Fire Dept, Police, public schools, roads, bridges...stupid fool, that she/he is.

Oh please. Once you start with using public services as an offset to Obamacare, you lose the argument.
Public safety is an essential form of government. Interfering with medical are and health insurance is not.
BTW, under Obamacare, Medicare funding is cut in HALF. A fact you libs refuse to acknowledge
Same difference."Oh please. Once you start with using public services as an offset to Obamacare, you lose the argument."

Don't be stupid, you know that was in response to the socialism comment.
