The CMS report says the bill is going to cost more money, contrary to what we've been told. That's the bottom line. $234B may be chump change to you when Obama is forking out trillions of dollars to anybody who asks, but it still matters to the remaining handful of fiscally sane Americans. And that's not to mention the prediction of insolvent hospitals and nursing care facilities.
Bill Nelson, for example, isn't so flippant: the report is giving him and a few others pause. Maybe you should shoot him an email with some of your brilliant commentary about why it doesn't matter.
Aside from addressing a few of your tangents, my only point in this thread has been how unbelievably unpopular this bill is, which is the point you haven't dealt with (to say nothing of "destroying"... heh).
For some reason you seem to think that confusion about the bill's details somehow mitigates the public's intense distaste for it.

Hang on- are you suggesting the total dollar value of debt has a meaning if we don't compare it to GDP? If so, add this to a list of ridiculous statements you have made. If not, what are you complaining about again?
