The Pelosi Bill will definitely Pass!

Well people we have so much to catch up on! Things are moving along at a pretty good clip! Everything from ACORN paying for an internal investigation on itself and finding NO wrong doing, to Pelosi's own CBO telling the media that the GOP's healthcare bill is far superior! I think we will start with the latter! Check my previous blogs as I have commented on the healthcare bill and now they seem to be coming true!  Here it is folks;

“The CBO put the price tag for the GOP plan at $61 billion, a fraction of the $1.05 trillion cost estimate it gave to the House bill…”CBO: Republican health plan would reduce premiums, cut deficit
Chief Congressional Correspondent
 The Congressional Budget Office Wednesday night released its cost analysis of the Republican health care plan and found that it would reduce health care premiums and cut the deficit by $68 billion over ten years.
 The Republican plan does not call for a government insurance plan but rather attempts to reform the system by creating high-risk insurance pools, allowing people to purchase health insurance policies across state lines and instituting medical malpractice reforms.
 "Not only does the GOP plan lower health care costs, but it also increases access to quality care, including for those with pre-existing conditions, at a price our country can afford," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said.
 According to CBO, the GOP bill would indeed lower costs, particularly for small businesses that have trouble finding affordable health care policies for their employees. The report found rates would drop by seven to 10 percent for this group, and by five to eight percent for the individual market, where it can also be difficult to find affordable policies.
 The GOP plan would have the smallest economic impact on the large group market that serves people working for large businesses that have access to the cheapest coverage. Those premiums would decline by zero to 3 percent, the CBO said.
 The analysis shows the Republican plan would do little to expand coverage, which Democrats were quick to point out in a late night missive to reporters.
 "Here's the Bottom line - Americans lose and Insurance companies win under the Republican plan," Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami said.
 The CBO found that under the Republican plan, insurance coverage would increase by about 3 million and that the percentage of insured non-elderly adults would remain at about 83 percent after ten years. The House bill would increase coverage to an additional 36 million people, raising the number of insured to 96 percent.
 The CBO put the price tag for the GOP plan at $61 billion, a fraction of the $1.05 trillion cost estimate it gave to the House bill that lawmakers are set to vote on this weekend. And the CBO found that the Republican provision to reform medical malpractice liability would result in $41 billion in savings and increase revenues by $13 billion by reducing the cost of private health insurance plans!
 Well we all know that this bill is just far too expensive. We are going broke people at a rapid rate and many other countries and OPEC are going to drop the $Dollar$ for other currency's as it declines in value. Brazil, China and India will watch their stock markets rise by 7%-9% per year for the foreseeable future whilst we linger around 1%-2% if we are very lucky! In short this means everyone is taking their money out of the DOW JONES and placing it ANYWHERE but here!
