Yup....they had to pass the bill so we could see what was in it.

Because they are aiming for single payer. Obama lied and our budget and citizens died.

Obviously because they knew it would never pass. They also knew it would allow insurers to raise rates to record highs, but neglected to mention that. They knew it would not cover as many young adults as they implied. There are many things they conveniently "forgot" to mention during their Obamacare concert tour.

It will just be brushed off as a " minor " error in the accounting dept. Kind of like Geithner and his 1040 forms.

Have the Democrats ever told the truth about something? Not in this lifetime!!!

I agree - Obama lied…. it’s who he is, it’s what he does. When President Obama said his health care plan would reduce the federal deficit, conservatives knew this was a lie. Word is out that the HHS report was published and placed in the hands of the higher powers one week before the final Obamacare vote. This means that the party in power — the Democrats — knew that Obamacare was economically un-sustainable. Yet, they insisted that it would put us on the path of fiscal recovery. So, now we know the truth: that the entire bill was fabricated, fudged, and forced down America’s throats with the full knowledge that it would make us gag. Another one for the No Sh*# Sherlock file! o_O
It's what they do. That was the only way they could get it passed. And when you know the media isn't going to investigate your numbers, from the lefts point of view why not lie.
