"Healthcare Reform" Gets Scarier

The CBO ran an estimate on what the present "Healthcare Reform" Bill, actually the Health Insurance Enhancement Bill, would cost over the next ten years, and Congress didn't like the numbers. You won't like them either.

But, according to Jonathan Cohn, not to worry because the CBO ran the numbers with a preliminary bill. "CBO ran its estimates with no employer mandate and an individual mandate with a laughably small penalty. The bill that CBO scored did not look much like the bill they intend to write."

So, if you are a small employer that cannot afford to provide insurance, be afraid. If you are self employed, be afraid. The mandates and penalties that Obama promised he would not implement, which he condemned Clinton for proposing, are coming.
