Gee, only $940 billion for this health care reform. Have you an extra $940 billion we might have? Maybe another $940 billion to insure the rest of the people that this bill doesn't cover?
Think about it, if this bill, according to the CBO, saves $130 billion in the first 10 years then by doing the next part we can save another $130 billion for a grand total of $260 billion in savings! Right?
Source: CBO estimates health care bill at $940 billion
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Democrats' revised health care bill will cost $940 billion over the next 10 years, a House Democratic source told CNN Thursday.
The bill cuts the deficit by $130 billion during that period of time, according to the source.
This report is so bogus because it takes into account "savings" that Congress will implement over the next ten years. Has Congress ever controlled spending over the long term? No.
Kiss the savings goodbye. Might as well wave bye-bye just once instead of twice, thrice and so forth. You don't want to sprain that arm. You may need health care.
