Well, we now have another example that proves, once again, truth is always stranger than fiction regarding the continuing saga of Barry "Almighty." Because now, courtesy of the Congressional Budget Office CBO, we’re now finding out that all of those who were then accused of spreading lies about Barry’s signature legislation were pretty much right on the mark. Because it has now come to light, that Barry's little healthcare law may be much more of a nightmare than first thought. At least for the 7 million people who will soon find themselves being pushed out of their job-based insurance coverage. That, by the way, is nearly twice the previous estimate, according to the latest estimates from the (CBO) released Tuesday. Imagine that, this great and wondrous plan not quite living up to all of the promises that made. Imagine that! The Democrats have long sought control of our healthcare, and now they have it and we will pay dearly.
The CBO said that this year's tax cuts have changed the incentives for businesses making it much less attractive to for them to pay for insurance, meaning fewer will decide to do so. Instead, most will simply decide to take the cheaper route, choosing instead to pay a penalty/tax to the government, which will total $13 Billion in higher fees/taxes over the next decade. But the 'supposed' non-partisan agency also expects fewer people to have to pay individual penalties to the IRS than it earlier projects, because of a better method for calculating incomes that found more people will be exempt. So what's really happened here, as many were saying before this thing ever became law, is that the best healthcare system on the planet, is now in the process of being so completely bastardized that it won't work for anyone but the very wealthy. Because the rest of us will be told by our government case workers that we'll need to get in what will be a very long line.
And still, overall, the new health provisions are expected to cost the government $1.165 Trillion over the next decade. So it turns out, as if we didn't know it at the time, that Barry’s claim that individuals would be able to keep their plans was nothing but a flat out lie, and he knew it was a lie when he said it. Cause that's just the kind of guy he is. It was just one more lie on top of the many that he had already told and right along with the many that he has told since. I'm really curious though, if people, or at least enough people, will ever come to realize that involvement by the government in anything, only serves to make things so much worse. The government really does nothing well, except when it comes to screwing things up! How is it that people have come to the conclusion that those in government are somehow smarter and more honest than those who are not? Because, sadly, more often that not, it's just the opposite that's true.
