CBO Adjusts Their Numbers on Cost of ObamaCare After White House Meeting
Hmmm… Smells a little fishy?!?
All of a sudden the Congressional Budget Office adjusts their numbers downward by 49 billion dollars after making the unconventional visit to the White House.
I believe the comparison I heard was… It is like a teenage girl being asked backstage after a concert and leaving starry eyed… so changes her opinion of the groups new album~
A 49 billion dollar mistake by the CBO is huge. But in the scope of things… a 9 trillion dollar increase in the debt over 9-years due to a healthcare plan that almost nobody wants, will cut Medicare benefits, will cause doctor shortages and therefore rationing and will be more expensive for the American people all the way round… won’t even make much of a dent. And let us remember, the Obama Administration has been wrong about costs (low estimates) every time so far!!
The American people are being had!! This has nothing to do with healthcare reform or insuring 30 million or less that are now not insured. It is part of an overall power grab!!!!!!!!
We need to do whatever it takes to stop ObamaCare from passing.
Solution to the Healthcare Reform…
- Address and Clean Up Fraud in All Areas of Medical Care! – Billions are lost and wasted in fraud each year. Read: Stop Paying the Crooks
- Serious Tort Reform – The lawyers are the winner in Obamacare! Tort Reform is not even being addressed
- Change Intra-State Insurance Laws; allow true competition to sell and purchase insurance across state lines.
- Make Health Insurance Portable.
- Reward Doctors for Results Not Numbers of Procedures.
- Allow the self-employed and small business owners to form private co-ops to purchase health insurance to cut down costs.
7. These changes alone would improve healthcare and save money to cover the uninsured that could be put on a plan that is a subsidiary of Medicare and Medicaid. Government should act as a neutral regulator only… of insurance companies, Big Pharma and the AMA; not be in competition with them. Exclusions due to previous conditions should not be allowed and honest over-sight (which does not happen now) should be maintained and enforced as far as safety, costs and fraud.
8. Natural supplements and alternative or holistic treatments and preventative measures should also be covered and encouraged instead of forced out by Big Pharma and the AMA.
9. “No” centralization of Medical Records! The opportunity for mis-use of that information is too high. The government could incentivize medical groups and doctors to update their records to more modern systems (in-house/in system). Then those records could more easily be sent or hand carried with the patients consent to be shared.
The Obama administration keeps talking about saving money by reforming Medicare and Medicaid. Let them start there and see what the savings really are without cutting funding or pushing costs over to the states.
ObamaCare is or will eventually be socialized medicine, so we need to fight and stop it now. There will be no going back later.
A Govt-Run Co-Op is the same as a Public Option and a Trigger will end up being a Public Option… the Answer has to be No to all!
Also “NO” on covering illegal aliens or abortions with public funds. (Beware: Obama’s newest ploy is promoting amnesty and citizenship to illegals to cover them, with money we don’t have…) Obama: Legalize Illegals to Get Them Health Care

RINObamaCare petition tops 20,000
Our national petition calling on Republicans to hold firm against ObamaCare topped 20,000 signatures this week.
President Obama has been inviting select Republicans to the White House as part of his ongoing campaign to get them to cave. We must keep up the pressure.
Help SCF continue to this campaign.
