Here's the new Org/Flow Chart for the House version of Obama Care.

Now that I see this, I'm sure it will reduce the cost of health care in the U.S. :frusty: I wonder what goes on in the Health Insurance Exchange box. PFM, I guess.

An interesting number I heard this morning. From Bush's Prescription Drug program (which he and the folks voting for it in Congress should be kicked in the nuts a few hundred times for), the inital cost was estimated at $ 300M over 10 years, before a single prescription was filled the cost had balloned to over $ 900M over 10 years.

At a current estimate of $ 1T - 1.5T over 10 years, multiplied by 3, we're looking at $ 3 - 4.5T added to the national debt, for health care reform alone. To do what, extend coverage to approximately 20M people? This is lunacy.

Unless I lost track of zeros, if you estimate the cost of a private insurance plan for an average, single, healthy person at approximately $ 1,500 / yr. then multiply by 20M, you wind up with $ 30B / yr., over 10 years we're looking at $ 300B, say $ 400B for inflation. That sure looks a lot better than $3-4.5T. This could be done with a voucher or tax credit and could be modified/scaled back/cancelled relatively easily.

Why are the Dems pushing their MASSIVE expansion of gov't so hard if the same problem can be solved much more cost effectively.....answer, the more dependent folks are on gov't the closer we become to true European socialism(the far left-wing of the Dems ultimate goal). The Fed gov't can grab more of our money (freedom) under the guise of "providing health care for the less fortunate". This is nothing more than a power grab by Premier Obama and his comrades on the left.
