CBO: HEALTHCARE LEGISLATION INCREASES THE DEFICIT
The House Democrats’ health care legislation will increase the budget deficit by $89 billion over the next 10 years, and would continue increasing thereafter, according to figures released today by the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] – a finding that directly contradicts the Democrats’ claims of deficit reduction. CBO’s analysis counts all Federal health costs – including a Medicare payment increase to physicians known as the “doc fix” – which House Democrats removed from their health care bill (H.R. 3962) to bring it up as a separate measure, H.R. 3961.
“So you think that money is the root of all evil?” said Francisco d’Anconia. “Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.” … “Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?” - Atlas Shrugged
