So I'd ahve tosay that the chart is not that believable.
After all, we already know that there were far too many give aways by the Congress and the President to get the ACA to go through.
Number one on my gripe list is the twenty billion bucks given to the Hospitals in the USA by ACA provisions so they can digitize their records.
Some of these hospitals have already billed the communities they are located in some $ 300,000 per hospital facility for that digitalization. This is one of the more fraudulent billings ever. Why? Because as a friend explained, the local hospital I knew of doing that Sutter, that controls Marin General in Marin County calif., is part of a chain. So once any other franchise member has spent the monies and designed the computer software program, there is no need whatever to hire programmers to re-do such a thing.
Yet Sutter officials told the community with a very straight face, that this money was needed, as this programming needed to be done!
I imagine those same hospital officials have gone a-beggin' to the Federal Government and gotten an additional compensation monies amount from the AcA 20 billion dollar fund. Never letting on they have already fleeced the individual taxpayers for a program they already had!
Sorry I am such a cynic. I wouldn't be so skeptical, but have watched over and over again as Obama appointees lie - even to Congress, about this or that or the other thing. Just reading at another OP, about how this past week, Icelandic leaders have again heisted BACK the monies stolen by Big Banking Community. So the citizens recoup their losses, while the F___Wads are in orange jumpsuits in a penal colony. Meanwhile in America, Obama's "Good Buddy" Tim Geithner repeatedly told Congress that there was no way in the world to do this, and we HAD TO DO THE BIG BANK BAIL OUTs.
A lie before Congress should get the individual in question impeached, but Geithner remained fat and sassy at US Treasury, until he finally went off to plush Wall Street job his lies had secured for him
