As we reported earlier today, the current house version of HR 3200 will cost America $1.8 trillion according to the CBO.  There is an alternative bill proposed by Republicans that would cost the American taxpayer $61 billion over 10 years, which is $1.7 trillion less than the house bill being voting on this weekend.

The CBO scored a substitute amendment to H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, that would cost only $61 billion over 10 years or roughly 6% of the cost of the Democrat sponsored bill being forced down the throat of the American people.

This bill does not attack our freedom by forcing Americans to buy health insurance. 

Additionally, the bill provides for over $41 billion in savings from tort reform which isn’t even addressed in the Democrat sponsored version of the bill.

The problems that most liberals have with this bill is that it doesn’t create hundreds of new federal agencies to control the delivery of health care, but takes a few commonsense measures that would reduce the cost of health insurance for everyone without forcing our children into debt or relying on tricks and lies to hold down the cost of the bill.

Americans need to ask themselves, why would we spend $1.7 trillion to create a huge federal buracracy when we can reduce the cost of healthcare at a much greater cost.  At the very least, we should implement smaller measures to gauge their impacts before allowing the government to take over a large amount of our economy.
