And about the costs you are talking about, here's a good point:
the budget office's estimate of
the cost over the next decade of
Obamacare's "coverage provisions" -
basically, the subsidies needed to
make insurance affordable for all - is
about only a third of the cost of the
tax cuts, overwhelmingly favoring the
wealthy, that Mitt Romney is
proposing over the same period. True,
Mr. Romney says that he would offset
that cost, but he has failed to provide
any plausible explanation of how he'd
do that. The Affordable Care Act, by
contrast, is fully paid for, with an
explicit combination of tax increases
and spending cuts elsewhere.
