There may not be as many new customers as the government predicts.
When you tell the 20 somethings that they can buy a $6,000 a year
insurance policy or pay a fine of a few hundred bucks, they will pay
the fine. Even OMB agrees with that.

Nobody ever said anyone in the medical establishment will be hurting.
This bill guarantees everyone from the doctors, hospitals and drug
companies to the insurance companies will be making a lot of money.
it will be the patients who will be hurting since there were no cost
controls in this bill.

Very similar arguments were made by Republicans when Social Security and
Medicare came into being. It's just not true.

Medicare ended up costing several times the original CBO projection at
the 10 year mark.

fine. let's use the conservative argument against 'obamacare'.

let the old folks die. it costs too much
