Congress passed a Obamacare – despite the fact that a majority of Americans have consistently opposed the bill. And now, almost 2 years after the the passage of the bill, the Congressional Budget Office came out with a report that shows it will cost almost TWICE as much as they claimed.
The Washington Examiner reported:
Democrats employed many accounting tricks when they were pushing through the national health care legislation, the most egregious of which was to delay full implementation of the law until 2014, so it would appear cheaper under the CBO’s standard ten-year budget window and, at least on paper, meet Obama’s pledge that the legislation would cost “around $900 billion over 10 years.” When the final CBO score came out before passage, critics noted that the true 10 year cost would be far higher than advertised once projections accounted for full implementation.
Today, the CBO released new projections from 2013 extending through 2022, and the results are as critics expected: the ten-year cost of the law’s core provisions to expand health insurance coverage has now ballooned to $1.76 trillion. That’s because we now have estimates for Obamacare’s first nine years of full implementation, rather than the mere six when it was signed into law. Only next year will we get a true ten-year cost estimate, if the law isn’t overturned by the Supreme Court or repealed by then. Given that in 2022, the last year available, the gross cost of the coverage expansions are $265 billion, we’re likely looking at about $2 trillion over the first decade, or more than double what Obama advertised.
It is NOT too late to put and end to this bill. Please help us get the word out that a majority of Americans do not want this bill and believe that this bill is Unconstitutional. There are several things you can do to make sure your voice is heard.
First, join us in Washington DC on March 23 for the Road to Repeal Rally, just days before the Supreme Court will hear arguments on Obamacare. Visit www.RoadtoRepeal.com today to sign up to take a bus to DC or let us know if you will be driving yourself.
Second, you can sign the Virginia Tea Party Patriots “Petition Against Obamacare.” Sign today to let the Supreme Court know you think the bill is Unconstitutional.
I hope SW Florida gets a bus, I am on a budget but really would love to go. I attended 09-12 the second year and would like to see bigger numbers on this one.
My , My, My ! Would you have ever thought that the Dems would tell such a lie ! In fact they should prefer it to be called a lie ! The only other recourse is to call it another failure due to incompetence ! This is however a good hit to Obama care and the road to repeal !
Looks like they need more money. I got this via e-mail ….
Dear Patriot,
The Road to Repeal Rally is just 10 days away!
Please stand with tea party activists all across the country against ObamaCare by supporting this massive grassroots event that will take place on March 24th.
Please make a special generous contribution of $20, $25, $30, $50, $100 or more to help Tea Party Patriots pay for this giant rally on Capitol Hill. We absolutely must raise $53,500 before the 24th.
We are closing on our goal of raising the $53, 000, but we still need to find $13,000 more to fund this important event. And time is running out!
I need your help. We have only twelve days left before the rally and we absolutely MUST raise these additional funds.
This is our chance to take a stand against one of the most unpopular and dangerous laws ever enacted in the United States.
Tea Partiers just like you, from all across the country will rally on Capitol Hill just yards away from the U.S. Supreme Court where the nine justices will hear the oral arguments in the ObamaCare case.
It will be critical that we have a huge turnout so that we send a clear message to the Washington, D.C. political establishment that they must listen to “We the People.”
That’s why we need your financial support right away.
More and more horrific facts about this law are coming out every day. The Congressional Budget Office just announced that Obamacare will cost $1.76 trillion over the next ten years instead of the incredible $900 billion the Administration promised. That’s nearly DOUBLE the original projected cost!
Members of the Tea Party knew this law would bankrupt America. We knew it would ruin our economy, destroy our healthcare system and saddle generations of Americans with a crushing debt they could never repay.
Now it is time to once again make our voices heard and demand this unconstitutional law be repealed!
We have carefully selected this March 24th date to show the Supreme Court that the American people hate this law and know that it is grossly unconstitutional.
On that day we are going to make the grassroots case that this law must be struck down!
Then, two days later, lawyers representing various states will make the historic legal case that Obamacare is a gross violation of U.S. Constitution.
It will be a one-two punch against Obamacare.
Please make the most generous contribution you can today to pay for this historic rally. The Road to Repeal Rally is a critical part of the national strategy to dismantle Obamacare and we are still $13,000 short of what we need! Just think, if 1000 of you give just $13 we will easily reach our goal!
We are subsidizing buses to transport the attendees, we are setting up a stage at the Capitol with a sound system big enough for the crowd to hear, and we must advertise to make sure we have a HUGE crowd on the 24th. And we have just 10 days to get it all done.
Please do what you can. Time is running short. Any gift you can make now will make a real difference.
And please attend the Road to Repeal Rally on March 24th!
When united, the American people will never be defeated. And America is uniting against Obamacare!
Sincerely,
Jenny Beth Martin
National Coordinator and Co-Founder

Obamacare is unconstitutional. Everybody seems to understand that except BO, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Democrats.
In January, a federal judge in Florida issued a ruling in what is the largest lawsuit filed against the Obamacare health care law. U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson said the individual mandate is unconstitutional and, therefore, the entire law is as well. So WTF HAPPENED??? How did this go through??? BO is ruining our country from within.
I don’t think one politician has even read the constitution. Hoe can they pass something the public opposes and is unlawful? Idiots don’t care about anything but their own money. We need a new gov with new people and an actual president who lived in the states through hard times like a normal citizen. Someone who knows what it’s like. God will have rath on them! In God we trust!!!
I think its important that we show up in Washington in masses,I can’t find a bus in the Myrtle Beach area…Help …
Just stop it!!!!
We already owe 14 billion, how in the Hell are we going to pay for this. The working class cannot afford anymore of this “Gimme for Free” Society..
Just a correction. We owe around $16 trillion with a “T”.
This has to be repealed,our country is slipping away!
Let me guess the Supreme Court vote will be 5 to 4 and send the bill back to a lower court to act on it again kicking the can.
WE THE PEOPLE have not had a president for a long time. Those who took an oath to protect ALL our rights before they got in what was suppose to be the white house, [crooks castle now] have not. Instead they have been acting like kings, if they want you to do something, your going to do it. They want their dirty illegal rules to cost WE THE PEOPLE our legal rights & money, cause that’s ALL they want.I smell slaves again, if not a prison. And this also goes for law on the highway, now COP is short for Crooks On Patrol.
I live in Camdenton,Mo. 65020 and would love to go to the rally in Washington. I send the Tea Party here in Camdenton a email ,but didn’t receive a answer yet. I would like to know if any bus or people from around my area is going to the rally the 24th in Washington ? I’m on a small fix income and can’t afford to drive ,but really would like to go to show my support..
Hey Lee, Unfortunately, the closest bus right now is over 300 miles away. Please sign up at http://www.RoadtoRepeal.com and we’ll update you if more buses are available this week. Thanks for the support.
