but we can't afford it! It will be 1 trillion in debt in ten years!

ACA has _decreased_ federal budget deficits. It saves money as well as saving lives: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/43471 … @dalythot

No it doesn't. It will be 1 trillion in debt in 10 years. We can't afford another entitlement program.

Honey, you and your zero followers need to read a real article on the subject. Maybe even two.

There were a few articles in Forbes & NYT stating that Obamacare will increase costs.

Such articles that I have seen were misreporting CBO's statement "ACA decreased deficits, but by less than expected"

Here's what the CBO actually had to say: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/45231 … .

[1/2] ACA & AHCA cost and coverage numbers are from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. You can look them up.

[2/2]Lives saved by ACA & lives that would be lost due to AHCA based on epidemiology from Harvard: https://thinkprogress.org/trumpcare-deaths-uninsurance-484738b03825#.rvc9m219k …

Full study report showing that 1 life is saved per 830 people gaining insurance coverage: http://annals.org/aim/article/1867050/changes-mortality-after-massachusetts-health-care-reform-quasi-experimental-study … .

Speak for yourself because the rest of us know she's a nut case.

she was speaking for herself. That's what tweeting is. #duh

Oh agreed. That's why we need to join the rest of the developed world and have a single payer system.
