I think the CBO came out and slammed the Obama healthcare today, saying it will raise health insurance and taxes

Buddy, you spend too much time worrying about the details to see the big picture.

In order to fit it in under $1Trillion they had to back load benefits. They don't start till 2014. They also had to jettison the annual one time medicare adjustment which was $250B or it would be over $3T alone.

Over a 1 year budget window starting when the program is slated to start it would be roughly $1.9T plus the annual one time doctor adjustments.
