A Budget-Buster in the Making [RealClearPolitics - Homepage - 49 mins ago]

"When you take away the budget gimmicks used in the early years of the implementation that make the total cost look smaller, the truth is glaring and the Congressional Budget Office agrees: this plan will increase federal spending and health costs, not lower them. That means both you and the federal government will see costs go up."

GOP: Growing gov't with health care [Baltimore Sun - 1 hour ago]

...that Senator Reid's new job-killing employer tax will mean one thing - more Americans will be out of work if this bill becomes law,' said Enzi. "Under this flawed bill, if you take a prescription drug, you will pay a new tax. If you use any medical devices or equipment, from walkers to wheelchairs, you will pay a new tax. If you do not have health insurance, you will pay a new tax. If you do have health insurance, you will also pay a new tax. And if the government decides your health insurance is too expensive, there will be a new tax for that as well. 'The problem with our current health care system is not that we don't pay enough taxes. Americans actually want to lower their health care costs, and not just pay more taxes to the federal government. All of these taxes will only increase costs, making health care even more unaffordable.' Video of Senator Enzi's speech will be available at www.enzi.senate.gov."
