The bill will be the biggest deficit reduction bill since 1990s and will improve the economy.
What you would have is 32 million more people with insurance so insurers will have a lot more clients and of course more drugs and medical services will be sold.
Can you name one large government program where costs did not far exceed projected costs and projected savings ever materialized?

Among other budgetary gimmicks, Democrats separated the "Doc fix" that will be necessary to keep doctors seeing Medicare patients from the HCR bill to show some imaginary savings. Many doctors already refuse to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs because of low reimbursement rates. Either there will be a shortage of services, or the Medicare savings that are included in the HCR bill will never see the light of day.

The idea that 32 million additional people, most of whom will receive government subsidies, can be covered by medical insurance for less money than the government spends today on medical care is laughable.

Oh, one final point - most benefits of the HCR bill will not begin for four years. That's right, ten years of taxes for 6 years of benefits. Do you think most Americans understand that or that citizens and illegal aliens who expect free health care immediately are going to be happy when they learn that fact? What do you think will happen in years 11 through 20 of the plan, when taxes will be collected at a one-for-one rate with the benefits doled out by the government? No clue? Well, then let me tell you what will happen. Benefits will either be cut or taxes will be increases - or more likely, both will occur.

Eventually, the American people will curse Obama and the Democrats who destroyed the best health care system in the world. The sooner, the better.
