In case anyone doubted Obamacare's purpose and effect were to increase mandatory spending, three reports today should clarify it for you:

"A labor union representing roofers is reversing course and calling for repeal of" Obamacare, while other unions "say many of the law's requirements will drive up the costs for their health-care plans and make unionized workers less competitive... To offset that, the nation's largest labor groups want their lower-paid members to be able to get federal insurance subsidies while remaining on their plans."

Meanwhile, "House Republicans are trying to pump an extra $4 billion into ObamaCare."

In other words, union leaders are beginning to see Obamacare will increase costs, so a few want repeal but more want subsidies; meanwhile, Republicans see an opportunity to increase spending where Democrats can't say no. Both sides agree: borrow and spend every possible penny until the whole thing collapses.
