I just heard the fed is expecting a 20 trillion dollar deficit due in part to Obama care. Some are saying it could be 30 trillion which means probably 100 trillion.

Any debt the US government incurs is due in part to every single thing the government spends money on. Obamacare is a tiny fraction of the government budget. And thirty billion in relation to what? When do they predict debt levels will be that high? And what do they predict GDP will be then? You're aware the debt level is irrelevant provided GDP keeps pace, right? That that debt will never be paid back and that it doesn't matter?
