$600 Billion? What have you been smoking? The total health care bill in the US, is already inflated at 15% of GNP ($1.5 Trillions annually), you want health care to take 20% of GDP? A sure way for us to go broke for good (g). Of course the market will plunge at the spectre of health care blowing up above 20% of GDP. (Now you see how any positive news can be spinned negatively <g>.)
