For those who are so very proud of the mess called the health care bill, thought you might want to hear the news that came out (you surely will not hear this from the WH).....SEEMS the CBO has released a new estimate on costs as of May 11.....

The total now comes to $115 billion above the original price tag !

And according to the Wall St Journal and Fortune Magazine , employers are doing what everyone said they would do, ie. bailing out of private carriers which will eventually drive health care costs through the roof.

Now, you would think that a smart President and a smart congress would not have wasted an entire year on a bill that was done in backrooms, with payoffs, and no attention to actual health care costs which was the problem and pass it despite KNOWING that the majority of the american people did not want it.

All you folks going on and on about how great this was....stay tuned...it will tie ALL congress time from now on...this bill was/is a disaster and if they had wanted a bill addressing pre existing conditions, they could have had it easily but the politics of the situation got them so caught up.....

It just amazes me that smart people could do this, and NOW as everyone has a chance to read it, it is becoming apparent is is a total disaster !
