....Medicare's independent economic expert told Congress on Wednesday.
The landmark legislation probably won't hold costs down, and it won't let everybody keep their current health insurance if they like it, Chief Actuary Richard Foster told the House Budget Committee. His office is responsible for independent long-range cost estimates

Gee, really? I'm shocked, shocked!
So Megyn had a Repbulican and a democrat on to discuss the issue. The democrat started out saying how the Republicans had complete input into the bill, hearings for the bill, and they didn't raise any of these objections before it was passed. [Careful, Dude, your nose is gonna grow.]
He also noted that the CBO said the bill would actually save money. -- BULLSHIT. Everybody knows about this. The CBO simply adds and subtracts whatever bogus numbers congress puts in front of it. Apparently Pazzo Pelosi and the merry marxists submitted figures like -- "a tonsillectomy will now cost 43 cents. Comprehensive health insurance for a family of four will cost $2.80 per annum." So I don't blame the CBO for coming up with really bizarre and unrealistic numbers that the CBO itself doesn't even believe.
So on Megyn Kelly, the dem says, "Well, it's up to the Republicans now to fix it and make it work."
Laughed so hard coffee was shooting out my nose. I refer you to my blog of 1/3/11, which talked about the Evil and the Stupid Parties. The Evil party passes all kinds of crap legislation designed to enslave and destroy the USA, and the Stupid Party makes it work.
Only, as I said in that blog -- I don't think these particular Republicans are about to play the traditional role of the Stupid Party.
And I must say, that's not because of the traditional Republicans, but because of the Tea Party. Really, seems like a lot of those freshmen congresscritters really do understand who voted for them and why.
Also, and think this must have been at the same Budget Committee Hearings, Fox earlier ran a clip of a couple guy from Taco Bell or someplace saying that they absolutely cannot insure their employees as they would be mandated to under the socialized medicine bill. One guy said, and I paraphrase, "I think the whole idea behind this was to make it impossible for us to provide insurance from a private carrier."
Meanwhile, the Comrade is in Wisconsin, apparently hoping to stir up some support for his 2012 campaign for re-election.
My God, if anyone votes for this bozo again, I'll know the USA has outlived its usefulness -- and the "last great hope for man on earth" will be gone forever.
Save the Republic.
