“There will be another Doc Fix and the bottom line for ObamaCare will shift to a net $1Trillion deficit”
Actually, I think we may be viewing the same thing from two sides. If the added cost of the “fix” is omitted on both sides - as it is included afterwards for both - then those costs can be omitted when we are comparing the two systems for the deficit. If the amount is not added for the system as per the new bill (your “Obamacare”) anymore than it is added in the regular budget, then both can be compared honestly. Yes, “Obamacare” will cost a lot - but the healthcare system costs a bleeep lot without it anyway, so it is perfectly possible for the new system to cost a bit less.
