Subject: RE: BS: Republican response to Health Reform
The projected cost of the plan is said to be one TRILLION dollars, more or less, over ten years, as if that were an horrific amount.

One TRILLION dollars over ten years is, as I figure it, somewhere between 25 and 30 dollars per month per American.

I pay EIGHT TO TEN TIMES THAT right now just for my Medicare part B and Medigap supplement. I shudder to think how much someone without Medicare or employer benefits has to pay for similar coverage.

Am I missing something here?
