Spend $1.38 trillion over the next 10 years. Report a savings of $104billion off of that number, and insure a net 3.2 million new participants so far (not including the medicare expansion or those who simply moved from one plan to another). It would seem that you are still spending $363,000 per person over the next decade, or about $36,000 a year to insure each. Just seems a bit excessive and unsustainable, even though it's slightly less unsustainable. There is good news. The total number of uninsured in the country has decreased, and is now lower than in 2008. The bad news is that the majority of this group are not the young folks necessary to pay for the system, and consist primarily of those who's incomes prevent them from paying in at all. http://www.gallup.com/poll/168248/uninsured-rate-lowest-2008.aspxWe are curing a toothache by removing the teeth. . .but we are curing the toothache! |

That’s great news but CBO has been all over the place on this. Their numbers seem about as reliable as the Metro Chamber of Commerce.

I trust them. When have they ever been wrong about the cost of a social program? |

And people will quote them when they agree with them. The GOP was loving them when they had less than positive things to say about the program. |

Well that there is a ringing endorsement of a source of information. "The republicans like it sometimes, the democrats are therefore entitled to like it sometimes...." |

Good one Guido. Tell me, how much has this thread changed your mind?
I'm sure you've gone "deep thought" due to something someone's posted on here.

Perhaps the better question would be how many threads in this entire forum has changed anyone's mind on any subject. |

I think we finally convinced Sauerkraut that the ’57 Belvedere was a complete piece of sh!t on the aught seven time capsule thread. That’s one I can think of. That means the other eight years I’ve spent here are complete drivel then.  |
