"Media Nearly Silent as ObamaCare Proponents Drop Deficit, Cost Savings Claims from NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias by Lachlan Markay
It has now been five days since Politico's Ben Smith published a powerpoint presentation created by an amalgamation of powerful left wing interest groups, conceding that two of the central arguments for passing ObamaCare - that it will lower the deficit and will reduce health care costs - have failed. "
**Isn't that part of the "sell" of Obamacare? That it would reduce health care costs (they are going up in huge ways) and that the deficit will lower (it too will go up!).
Artful Dodger: Nobody promised that "ObamaCare" would result in cost savings or reduce the deficit miraculously overnight. It is too early to pronounce it a failure.
Ferris Bueller: Not so. Economists know clearly that Obamacare will do the opposite as was promised. Did you not read the link? It's a left wing websiite and in it the DEMOCRATS concede that the deficit will not go down and costs will not lower. Why are you denying your own party's report?
Artful Dodger: The legislation was signed in March this year. If you'd read it you'll know it was designed to be enacted in stages...
Within one year of enactment (2010-2011)
* Insurance companies barred from dropping people from coverage when they get sick, ending the practice of rescission. Lifetime coverage limits eliminated and annual limits restricted. * Young adults able to stay on their parents' health plans until age 26. Many health plans currently drop dependents from coverage when they turn 19 or finish college. * Uninsured adults with pre-existing conditions will be able to obtain health coverage through a new program that will expire once new insurance exchanges begin operating in 2014. * Insurance companies cannot deny group or new (non-grandfathered) individual coverage to children under age 19, due to a pre-existing condition.[146] * A temporary reinsurance program is created to help companies maintain health coverage for early retirees between the ages of 55 and 64. This also expires in 2014. * Medicare drug beneficiaries who fall into the "doughnut hole" coverage gap will get a $250 rebate. The bill eventually closes that gap which currently begins after $2,700 is spent on drugs. Coverage starts again after $6,154 is spent. * A tax credit becomes available for some small businesses to help provide coverage for workers. * A 10% tax on indoor tanning services that use ultraviolet lamps goes into effect on July 1.
