If'n ya want gubberment health care, then jus' join the Army !!

And this is a LOW estimate.

When has a gov't program NOT overrun costs ?

AND it uses creative accounting--remember the so-called "deficit neutral" senate version uses optimistic projected revenue estimates for TEN years while only paying out benefits for FIVE. Best case it's de-facto double its own cost and a 900 B INCREASE in the deficit (again these assume very optimistic tax revenues that probably won't happen).

I would sooner trust a shady plumber to do open-heart surgery than let politicians run Healthcare. At least for the plumber, the basic concept is familiar........
