A Vote for Melissa Bean Will Cost You $3,900

Rep. Melissa Bean’s stubborn refusal to reject the federal government takeover of our health care system will cost the average 8th district resident $3,900, so says a study on the proposed Obamacare legislation by the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI).
According to IPI, “As part of the total bill, the net present value of all additional federal government expenditures through 2019 that will occur as a result of the current health care proposal is $1.2 trillion, or a $3,900 bill for every person in the U.S.”
“The government takeover of health care will not only worsen the quality of care and decimate small businesses, it will bankrupt our nation,” said Joe Walsh, Republican Congressional nominee for the 8th District referring to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
The CBO puts the federal debt at more than $20 trillion by the year 2020, in part as a result of Obama’s plan to increase federal spending by another $2.3 trillion over the next ten years after already more than doubling the nation’s debt in just his first year in office.
“The bottom line: we cannot afford Obamacare and cannot afford Melissa Bean in Congress,” said Walsh.
