Yesterday’s Washington Examiner published the graph below to illustrate how spending in the previous Senate version of the healthcare bill was set up.  The curve in the current version is similar–nothing has changed very much.

As you can see from the graph, the real spending does not begin until 2014–two years after the next presidential election. 

The article points out:

 “The Congressional Budget Office found that just $9 billion of the $848 billion total spending aimed at expanding coverage from 2010 to 2019 would occur in the first four years, while the remaining $839 billion wouldn’t come until the last six. In percentage terms, a whopping 1 percent of spending would occur from 2010 to 2014.”

The taxes included in the bill will begin almost immediately–that’s how the bill was made to look deficit neutral.  If this bill is passed, it will bankrupt the medical system and the government very quickly.
