I'll tell you this. Without health reform you'll continue to see premiums,co-pays and deductibles skyrocket along with other medical costs while more and more individuals and companies have to drop coverage and it strains budgets of states and US Treasury whereas non partisan Congressional Budget Office says this Reduces federal deficit by quite a lot in first decade and lot more after that. The current system is broken and unsustainable.

If you or your employer pay a premium for health you will pay more almost immediately after Obamacare passes. Even Democrat Senator **** "Turban" Durbin has acknowledged this fact.

Caterpillar announced today that its costs are estimate to increase by $100 million in the first year if Obamacare passes. The company also notified 121 employees that their jobs are being moved to the UK in 60 days.

The non-partisan CBO, using the bogus details provided to them by Obama, did say that Obamacare will reduce the deficit but they have not claimed that it will reduce consumer costs. The deficit cut, if it really materializes, will come through higher taxes on those of us who still pay taxes and sharp cuts in payments to doctors, which will inevitably result in doctor shortages. Doctors and pharmacies have already begun withdrawing from the Medicare program.

Government attempts to control prices never works. Prices rise, even if a black market is required to exploit them, and/or the quality of service declines. Always.
