Whatever you're opinion of the Affordable Care Act, it's pretty obvious that the politics here have gone way the hell off the rails: Republicans are completely dividing along partisan lines and ignoring actual policy positions.
"...Only in America could a Democratic president pass Mitt Romneys health plan and fund it partly through John McCains best idea from the last campaign (taxing some employer-provided plans) and be branded a socialist. "

That's an argument I can get behind. Among the more rabid GOP
proponents I'm exposed to, it isn't an argument I hear.

The CBO says 1.1 trillion here http://cbo.gov/publication/43080
Of course the hope is that those costs will be more than made up for by reduced emergency room use.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
