    Wow, you actually believe that? This assumes that the law would be adhered to exactly as written.

    In case you haven't paid attention, the law is having about 3,000 hiccups, deviations and discrepancies a day right now. Like all gov't boondoggles, it will be waaay over budget. Medicare costs today are mutliples of what they were projected to be.

    And the party of tax and spend, lies and hypocrisy is never concerned about the deficit.

    Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated

    Tea Party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated than the general public, and are no more or less afraid of falling into a lower socioeconomic class, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

  5. The MSM psyops to discredit the Tea Party worked on even a Yale Professor. Pretty scary, the power of the press. Hitler used them entirely to his advantage. He started with the manifesto, the value system of his party if you will, saying that only labor has value, not investment. In just a few years he had corralled all the Jews. Who would have thought that "only labor has value" would play out like that? Obama started out saying he was going to fundamentally change the United States. It's going to play out as a collapse and an attempted complete takeover by the Left half of the Democrats if he has his way....

    Just as a note - these are the figures provided by a recent North Carolina conference on Medicaid fraud.

    "Over 95% of Medicaid fraud involves service providers and not recipients. According to the CBO the percentage of fraud & abuse was 20.2% in 2008 – down to 11.8% in 2011 and 7.9% in 2012."

    Nearly all the states have increased Medicaid/Medicare fraud enforcement in the past 5 years. This is the most "target rich" environment because it has the highest percentage of fraud compared to other benefit programs, and most of the fraud involves providers and not recipients. This means that the enforcement efforts can usually have the end result of getting significant sums of money returned from fraudulent providers - something that is not true when targeting poor benefit recipients.

    It is unlikely you will have to wait that long to rub it in his face.
