Noted over at Big Government:
Insuring 30 million people at a 10 year cost of $849 billion would mean a per person cost of $28,300. Over 10 years that would be $2,830 a year, but this isn’t a 10 year plan. The bill before the Senate doesn’t take effect until 2013, well after the next Presidential election. And while the Congressional Budget Office score covers the years 2010 through 2019, only in the years 2013-2019 is anyone actually insured. So we’re looking at a window of 7 years, which give us an average cost of $4042.85 per person, per year people are actually being insured. The average person could find a cheaper health insurance plan.
But, of course, its not about health care – its about control. Liberals want fascist control over our lives, and they figure the best means of doing this is getting control of our health care. That done, we’ll be easily pressured in to conceding the rest of our liberties – with liberals grandly allowing us the freedom to be freakish in our sex lives, should we so choose; they’ll take care of everything else.
Its all a big scam – not, at this point, as big a scam as global warming, but right up there.
UPDATE: And now Reid, believe it or not, plays the race card on the health care debate.
