The ONLY Government-run program that is DEFICIT NEUTRAL. That will be a real CHANGE
The longer the health care debate goes, the more information comes out. Harry Reid admits that the health care bill will cost at least $2.5 trillion. Howard Dean admits that it will cost trillions and trillions of dollars. Now Obama’s White House Budget Director, Peter Orszag, admits it will take DECADES before the health care reform will work. Does that still “bend the curve” down by not adding to the deficit? I don’t think the CBO scored the health care bill by DECADES. They scored it for a single decade on the assumption that everything goes as planned.
“It will be years to decades” before the nation has a properly working health care system that rewards quality over quantity, Peter Orszag told reporters. He said improving the quality of health care “is more like a lifelong nutrition or diet, not studying for an exam,” but he added that continuous progress is a crucial goal.
That is how a government-run plan works. It’s all a big guessing game that will cost taxpayers trillions upon trillions of dollars. Of course, it always costs exactly what is projected. Look at Medicare and Medicaid for proof.
