So, according to you this health care bill will cost 1 trillion huh? yeah, I know, thats what the dems SAY it will cost. But since when has any government spending project EVER come in on budget? Neither of us know what it will cost in ten years as neither of us know the future. All we can do is look at the past and make our best predictions.
So, on that note, let me give you the FACTS (as in, already happened) of Medicare: When it was enacted in 1966 it cost $3 billion. The house Ways and Means estimated that it would cost only about $12 billion by 1990 (a figure that includes for inflation). The ACTUAL cost in 1990 was $107 billion!
So gee they were off by 800%!!!

And how about social security? If it is not changed or canceled it will literally cost tens of trillions to fund.

Why is it that you think the government can run ANYTHING efficiently?
