its based on more people using medicare, and more using national care, and less using employer plans, estimated, then extrapolated forward. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 10:19
they're talking gross cost, which is offset by $500M of income, and then projecting an additional $250M for 2023. - TFox Mar 14, 10:18 5

- Right...so 1.232 trillion. I know the GOP hates the idea of government income, but when it's there, it's there. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:20 3
