Obamacare
According to NEWMAX, Obamacare subsidies cost taxpayers over $690 Billion over 10 years. However, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that these subsidies – these tax credits – will only cost about $350 billion over 10 years.
My first comments: Either way, it’s an outlandish number! Recently, we heard politicians say “We have discovered the truth about what Obama said about Obamacare” However, most of us already knew it was a lie from the beginning. You could not keep your same doctor and it cost much more money than he said it would! What? A politician lied?
I remember when John McCain getting off his “Death-bed” to come in to cast the deciding vote. See statement below:
Many will remember McCain as the incidental savior of the Affordable Care Act. (Obamacare) His late-night thumbs-down vote halted his party’s most promising effort to overturn a major “Democrat Achievement”. It was a vote that earned him regular — and biting — admonishments from President Donald Trump. McCain Press Release of 8/25/2018 follows:
Last year, in his last act of defiance, McCain returned to the Capitol less than a week after his cancer was diagnosed to cast his vote on the Republican effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Many will remember McCain as the incidental savior of the Affordable Care Act. His late-night thumbs-down vote halted his party’s most promising effort to overturn a major Democratic achievement — the signature achievement, in fact, of the Democrat who beat him to become president. It was a vote that earned him regular — and biting — admonishments from President Donald Trump.
My last Comment: What comes around, goes around!
