Obamacare is Key to Managing Costs for Elderly and Children

Unless its detractors intend for Grandma to go over a health care cliff and take little Joey with her, Obamacare is the last, best hope to control health care costs dedicated to this country's millions of elderly and children.

It's not rocket science to realize that an aging baby boom population coupled with the exorbitant costs of health care and added to a rapidly growing number of children in poverty adds up to health care costs that are an ever-increasing percentage of our GDP.
There's no logical or cost-worthy reason for the GOP to pummel this program the way the party has done since before it even passed. There are nearly 50 million uninsured folks in this country. The numbers of folks on Medicare will continue to rise. Obamacare, while not perfect and not as strong as a single payer system would be, can't be repealed without busting the budget.

 

It's either the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or the Republican plan; Don't get sick and if you do, go die in a corner and be quite about it.

 

And then there is this;

and

And you know they actually give some of their assumptions

 

Two Republican governors, a Right-wing think tank, and a Drew Altman, president and CEO of Kaiser who said "...that the premium increase was not because of ObamaCare but then went on to say that the ObamaCare law probably accounted for 1 to 2 percentage points of that increase". Hum? Very convincing...NOT!!!!

 

There are a lot more facts there than in the op's link. I have no idea what that chart was based on. Not one clue the assumptions they were fed. BTW, that is all they do is use the assumptions they have been fed to imagine their results.
