Roanoke Times, 1-8-11, Pg 3: The House (with the 60 newly elected members) voted 236-181 to move forward on ObamaCare Repeal.
“Would add $230 Billion to the federal deficit over 10 years.”

The Editors of the Roanoke Times simply cannot help themselves from propagating lies and distortions about ObamaCare. Not one word in this article that the 230 number is not only in dispute but has been totally debunked by not only Republican Congressional Budget experts but also in very vivid detail by the Wall Street Journal:

“The accounting gimmicks are legion, but we'll pick out a few: It uses 10 years of taxes to fund six years of subsidies. Social Security and Medicare revenues are double-counted to the tune of $398 billion. A new program funding long-term care frontloads taxes but backloads spending, gradually going broke by design. The law pretends that Congress will spend less on Medicare than it really will, in particular through an automatic 25% cut to physician payments that Democrats have already voted not to allow for this year.”
-
In addition to these numbers at the Federal level there are Billions of dollars of massive impacts to the Medicaid costs of the states and the taxes and fees and premiums on each American.
-
The Repeal Vote is very important because it will clearly identify to the American Voters who they need to focus on replacing in the 2012 elections.
