Digging a Little Deeper into the Baucus Plan

Get the truth about the Baucus healthcare plan and its true costs, what the corrupt American Pravda refuses to report.

From Gateway Pundit:

Baucus Fantasy Plan Would Result In Sharp Increase in Taxes

"Kevin Aylward at Wizbang discovered what the state-run media won't tell you.

The Baucus Fantasy Plan gets a clean CBO scorecard by raising your taxes:

The suggestion by the CBO that the dem's health care plan would save billions is pure fantasy as we all know the federal government does not exactly have a record of operating under budget...
Just look at social security that could possibly default within 2 years.
Kevin Aylward added:


'Ignore for a moment the net cost of $829 billion, instead focus on how the the plan (despite what nearly every media outlet is reporting, it's not a bill) achieves its reduction in the federal deficit. The numbers are right there...

** $201 billion in revenues from the excise tax - Tax hike for those currently insured
**$110 billion in net savings from other sources
- Perhaps these "savings" won't be passed along to you in the form of increased fees...
**spending changes that CBO estimates would save $404 billion - Medicare cuts, caps, and reimbursement changes, the costs of which will ultimately be borne by Medicare recipientsAnd my favorite, the footnote...

**$180 billion in additional revenues - New taxes'


The Baucus Obamacare Plan would also raise money by fining those who do not purchase the plan... Or jailing them.

$829 billion over the next decade to insure fewer than 10 percent of the population?
It's a solution only a big spending liberal could love."
