Health Care Bill Went Up to $1.2T....What a Shocker!
As if I were surprised with Congress, it looks like Congress is now estimating their oh-so wonderful health care plan is going to cost $1.2 trillion. Everyone should have known that Nancy Peloisi was full of it when she said that this health care overhaul would cost less than $900 billion. This is Big Government at work, folks! They say that it's going to be cheap, but at the same time, how do you expect something like this to get cheaper when more and more programs are being added, and when government is inherently inept to begin with? And this is considering the fact that the bill isn't even being taken into effect until 2013. Consider inflation and government's inability to estimate anything (just take a look at the current state of Social Security), and it should be self-evident that if this does pass, it will be a financial fiasco for our nation. There are always free-market alternatives to deal with the issue, but since Obama is so enamored with inherently flawed socialism, can we expect him to listen?
