[Hoot Gibson]

The bottom line is that Obamacare will cost employees more in taxes and in the shifting of costs from employers to employees than our current system does. The CBO scores the cost of legislation based on parameters given to them by politicians. Remember that Obamacare is supposed to be financed by in part by cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare (partly by finding and eliminating elusive "waste, fraud, and abuse" from the program).

As I said, anybody who tells you that Obamacare is going to save you money is lying to you. Somebody is going to pay for the deadbeats being upgraded to better healthcare and if you work for a living and pay taxes, that somebody is you. You will either be paying for more of your care directly or the IRS will be taking a bigger chunk of your paycheck. You lose either way.
