Of course that's a lie based on the fake premises submitted by the Obama regime, which pretty much lies about everything
The truth was in another politico.com piece" *Michael F. Cannon, director of health policy studies, Cato Institute* That’s not the real cost of the legislation. The voters are being misled. As former Congressional Budget Office Director Donald Marron has explained over and over again, the figure that Democrats cite for their bills is only the cost of federal spending related to the expansion of health insurance coverage. It is not the full cost to the federal government, because each bill also spends taxpayer dollars on other items. Marron examined the CBO’s March 11 score of the bill that passed the Senate on Christmas Eve and found an additional $96 billion of spending over 10 years. If the most recent iteration is similar, then new federal spending in that bill would be approximately $1.036 trillion, pushing the total over the president’s target. Moreover, the on-budget costs of the legislation account for only 40 percent of the total costs. The other 60 percent comes from the private-sector mandates. But Democrats have systematically suppressed any estimates of those implicit taxes, which would most likely reveal the full cost of the legislation to be $2.5 trillion over the next 10 years. It has been 272 days since Democrats introduced the first complete version of the president’s health plan, yet we still haven’t seen a complete cost estimate. The Obamacare Cost-Estimate Watch maintains its lonely vigil.
