HC Bill 3200: Wisconsin politicians weigh in.

Today's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel featured two contrasting views on the health care bill President Obama signed into law this week - US Representive Paul Ryan (R-WI) writes "Costs of this debacle will be high" and US Representative Gwen More (D-WI) pens "Making good on our promise".

"Our approach cuts the deficit by $143 billion over the next decade and is expected to cut $1.2 trillion the following 10 years...we reduce uncompensated care to the tune of $459 million in our area alone and those savings will be passed on to every single person."

- Rep. Gwen Moore (D)

"Premiums in the individual market would rise from 10% to 13% for families. Our debt and deficit crisis...would accelerate from the creation of brand new entitlement and increase in the federal deficit by $662 billion over the next decade, according the the president's own actuary, and $2.4 trillion in the decade after the new entitlement is up and running. The legislation will hit our economy with $569 billion in tax increases..."

- Rep. Paul Ryan (R)

OK - so I'm a douche bag who likes to bitch, bitch, bitch. Fine. Perhaps then those of you who are more astute in the political arena can enlighten me and tell me how two politicians can look at the exact same bill and come up with two grossly different versions of it? A monumental bill, at that. This begs me to make the statement - one more time - "I don't know who to believe, the Dems or the Reps."
