The CBO said repealing the "health care reform" law would "increase federal budget deficits over the 2012-2019 period by a total of roughly $145 billion."

How accurate are CBO estimates?

In 1999, the CBO forecasted a budget surplus in every year from 2000 to 2009.

For that time frame we had deficits.

So, this is the question I have for the people who quote the CBO. If they didn’t know what was going to happen the last 10 years, what makes you think they know what will happen now?

@jacobew2000 Oh and 52% have said that it will be bad for the country while 37% said it will be good. Clearly the American people are not as stupid as the democrats are trying to say that they are, and that the longer this goes on, the worse it gets for the liberals in congress. Pelosi said "you have to pass it to know whats in it!" and the public is fuming mad as this stuff is coming into effect and causing their insurance rates to skyrocket! It will only get worse with time!

[jacobew2000]

The Rasmussen report of Nov 29,2010, says that 58% favor repeal, while 37% are opposed. This is a company that both Dems and Repubs have quoted in the past as being very accurate in their polls, and being non-partisian!

46% think its likely, while 44% sain unlikely that it will happen. We will see!

@jacobew2000

That's not true, none of the polls suggest anything like that. Did you even read them?

[jacobew2000]

@00maharum00ma huh? That is liberals talking to liberals.. Other AP polls of average americans had it the other way around!

Health Care doesn't seem to be preventing disease...hmm, must be something wrong with Health Care then; it's more like Unhealthy Care. Time to take back our own health and stop relying on "experts" who know nothing of Holistic Medicine nor stopping disease. You MUST check out GreenHa.com and read real natural health success stories from real people. GreenHa.com

AP did a poll on why people disapprove of the healthcare bill:

By a 2 to 1 margin, people thought the bill should have gone farther. Which is backed up by majority support for the public option:

And majorities supporting medicare for all:
