Chew on this nugget from your vaunted CBO
Health Bill to Cut Deficit by $104 Billion, CBO Says
Oct. 29 (Bloomberg)—Health-care legislation released today by House Democrats would cut the federal budget deficit by $104 billion over the next 10 years, the Congressional Budget Office said.
The measure would “slightly reduce” the deficit in the subsequent decade, the nonpartisan agency said.
The bill analysis by the CBO said the legislation would increase the share of Americans with health insurance to 96 percent from the current 83 percent. The bill would leave 18 million people without insurance, about one-third of whom would be illegal immigrants, CBO said today.
Too bad republicans were too busy letting Wall Street f*ck us over when they had the wheel to do anything constructive like reform health care. No wonder the bitter bitches want to stop this. Sore loser a-holes.
