Much more bureaucracy, higher costs, people actually having fewer options, pressure on doctors increasing, health insurance companies getting screwed over and consolidating to survive, etc.

I won't argue on this points because its too soon to tell if any of these R talking points will come true.

Every single one of the items Ten listed have ALREADY been shown to be true. Every one of them.

No. Only to you Rs who always manage to get the jump on the rest of us and inevitably are proven wrong.

>> What costs did they hide?

You're kidding. He signed the bill without the public having ever had a chance to see it! In spite of his commitment to have it on the Internet for public inspection before-the-fact. Even members of Congress never had a chance to read it before voting on it.

Do you understand the role of Congress; that Congress represents the people? I suggest you read up.

So, what was hidden? The cost of subsidies; the so-called "risk corridors"; and Obama has now told insurance companies he will divert money, if necessary from other sources which Congress hasn't approved to bail them out if they will just stay in the program through the election.

Link please.

Worse than the hidden costs are the delays which have caused costs to increase so much CBO can't even estimate them. They've thrown up their hands, and said, in effect, "If you remember that 2010 deficit reduction stuff we talked about? Well, we know it isn't reducing the deficit but we have no fucking idea how badly because it is so screwed up we can't figure out how to estimate it."

LOL. Did the CBO send you a video showing them throwing up their hands? Seriously, why do you always get into so much drama?
