Slammed by CBO Again

The Congressional Budget Office has slammed ObamaCare once again for failing to do anything to cut costs.

"For the second time this month, congressional budget analysts have dealt a blow to the Democrat's health reform efforts, this time by saying a plan touted by the White House as crucial to paying for the bill would actually save almost no money over 10 years. "

Republicans had a response:

""This letter underscores the enormous challenges that Democrats face trying to pay for their massive and costly government takeover of health care. In their rush to pass a bill, Democrats continue to ignore the stark economic reality facing our nation," said Boehner spokeswoman Antonia Ferrier. "Let's scrap the current proposal and come together in a meaningful way to reform health care in America by reducing cost, expanding access and at a price tag we can afford.""

Clearly, the "reform" proposed by the left includes so much government that it could not possible be efficient or fair.

Of course, to the left, its more about control than costs or fairness.

Senator Charles Grassley, however, says that a reform bill will be passed this year:

"“They said we’ve got to show the Democrats they don’t have a vote to nationalize health insurance and then they’ll come to us and we’ll get a compromise,” Grassley said, describing conversations he has had with the other leaders."

Everyone, it seems, thinks we have to reform medical insurance, and that is fine. But will it be good enough for Congress and the President to include themselves in the reform?

And how can you compromise a bill that is so bad?

Current legislation would exempt all the Feds, so they must not think its a very good deal.

The public should demand that any reform that is passed apply to everyone, and not leave out a privileged few.

It is very apparent that the few in Washington consider themselves far above those of us out in the hinterland.

We should throw them all out. All of them.
