Obamacare Falls Short of Promises to Uninsured

[mandym]

Two new reports out yesterday continue to knock down President Obama’s promises about Obamacare: his “If you like your plan, you can keep it,” and the promise to significantly shrink the ranks of the uninsured.

According to a new study from consulting firm Deloitte, almost one of out of 10 employers said they are going to drop coverage for their employees because of Obamacare, while another 10 percent said they “remain unsure” about what they are going to do. As the vast majority of Americans have health insurance through their workplaces, this is a huge blow.

Yesterday the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) dealt another blow with its updated outlook on the health care law, as it attempted to integrate the Supreme Court’s ruling into its projections.

Although Obamacare spends more than $1 trillion to get people covered, CBO predicts it will still leave 30 million Americans uninsured, falling far short of what was promised.

This was all predicted when they were forcing the bill upon the people.

No surprise here.

I agree with "targus", nothing new here. This plan is going to hit the middle-class hard.

You all should be pleased. You hard-working middle class people will not be subsidizing 30 million of the working poor people.

You all should be pleased too, billwald, since the working poor make up a large percentage of the population that you like to call "trash".

Exactly.

Building a piece of legislation on a pack of lies and corruption never turns out well.

Trouble is it won't hurt the people that did it, just the majority if Americans that were yelling "STOP!!"

Where do you think the money to pay for these people's insurance will come from? I imagine it will be primarily from taxes which the middle class pays. It will also come from business owners in form of raised taxes. This will impact their cost of business which will affect the workers.

The money for this will not materialize out of thin air.

As soon as amnesty kicks in for the 800,000 illegals, closer to 1.5 million, they will all be eligible for Obama care.
