#1 I think that's only Title I of the bill, too.

#2 Bankrupting the pubic treasury to buy indulgences for your personal sins and guilt by erecting monuments for your ego could well repeat history - ask the Catholic Church. Throw in the depth of corruption in the hierarchy and this is going to be one of those 'may you live in interesting times'. When you have no history other than from the time you were born, you'll be more likely to repeat fatal and regrettable mistakes others have learned and you have not.

#3 this morning FoxNews also reported that that $1 trillion would only cover 1/3 of the uninsured, so you're really looking at $3 trillion + to cover all the uninsured

#6 Can anyone read these estimates without laughing out loud? I confidently predict whatever plan Obama & the Dems launch will be a dog's breakfast. My less confident cost estimate is $1 Trillion a year, or until the US goes broke, whichever comes first. They really take us for idiots.

#7 $1.6 trillion and climbing. AP:
Senate sources say the latest cost estimates for health care legislation are around $1.6 trillion over 10 years. Two Senate staffers, one Democratic and one Republican, said Congressional Budget Office estimates put the cost of the Finance Committee version of the bill at around $1.6 trillion.

Remember when Obama was going to balance the budget?

#8 They are scum plain and simple. The biggest employer in all of Europe is that fool UK health services. Just pure evil.

If they touch this, I will wash my hands of DC forever. What was given may be taken away.

#9 Remember when Obama was going to balance the budget?

I don't recall that, but I tend not to believe any of what he says at any given time.

#10 A new development today which illustrates part of the problem: An FDA advisory panel has recommended the FDA approve a new drug Krystexxa to treat severe gout in a way that had never been possible before. The drug directly breaks down uric acid and turns it into soluble/excretable metabolites. It is aimed at the approximately 50,000 Americans whose gout cannot be treated with other drugs. Clinical trials have indicated it will work for 40% of them. The drug has to be given intravenously every 2-4 weeks. It is estimated to cost tens of thousands of dollars per patient per year.
