Washington (CNN) -- Legislation being pushed by House Republicans to repeal President Barack Obama's health care overhaul will add $230 billion to the federal debt by 2021, according to an analysis released Thursday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Democrats immediately pounced on the report, arguing, among other things, that it undermines the new GOP House majority's emphasis on fiscal responsibility.
"Not only would repeal of health care reform add to our deficit, it would dump more than 30 million Americans from coverage who will be protected by our new health care reform act," said Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois.
"So more than 50 million Americans won't have the protection of health insurance. That is a personal family tragedy even beyond our discussion of the deficit."
I'm sort of with the Republicans on this one. I want it repealed. Unlike the Republicans I'd replace it with something that isn't the biggest joke of the millennium so far... I don't think I could come up with a more laughable bill if I tried.
For a Communist Obama certainly keeps a good disguise up. Seems like it would be in the interests of a Communist to... you know... do something remotely communistic... Instead he didn't pass universal healthcare (which most, if not all other developed nations have, so I suppose they're all super communists, even their conservative parties increase health spending lol), he didn't pass a public option (which to a communist would be only the most unacceptably ridiculous compromise ever), he didn't even properly aim to fix up the status quo a little, it was all rhetoric.
Regardless of what I think on the subject, it WILL be repealed. And it will be bipartisan. Just watch.
I'd be much more open to the idea of repeal if the republicans were offering anything in the way of meaningful healthcare reform. But they aren't. All they are proposing is "NO!"
I dont care how much it will cost, repeal the damm thing. Let me ask you a question Noodle do you honestly wanna pay for health care for those who support warmongering, bloodthirsty, pro-federal reserve, and thieving politicians? I sure as hell dont.

This is NOT going to happen and the House Republicans are breaking their own rules by bringing the bill to a vote without debate. This is nothing more than an attempt to appease the Teabagger folks.

I thought medicaid and medicare was supposed the be the neatest thing since sliced bread.
How about we fix what's already in place vice reinventing the wheel?

To fix that, you have to move to do the larger job those things are doing now. It would be best handled with a univerisal payor. As that won't happen any time soon, the next best thing is the peicemeal approach, best with a public option, and what this present bill attempts to do, rather poorly without the tpublic option.
I am not convinced that many of those that support this Administration and continue to believe what they are told are capable of understanding actual facts. Medicare and SS are funded by FICA taxes, NOT FEDERAL INCOME TAXES! Medicare and SS were put on budget by LBJ in the 60's because more money was coming in than going out and he wanted that money to fund the Vietnam War and the Great Society. We are paying the price today for that irresponsibility. Medicare and SS was never intended to be on budget meaning that excesses can by used for whatever the Congress and the President want.
Medicare and SS are a single payer system, both are facing trillions in debt because of fiscal irresponsibility yet liberals want to compound that problem with a national healthcare program based upon a single payer system. Then they point to bogus numbers from the CBO that were created by bogus assumptions given them by the same Congress that now points to those bogus numbers. This is pure entertainment watching liberals dig their hole deeper and deeper.
