Also in peril in the house because CBO brought it in at $1.2 trillion.

Posted by TFox Nov 3 '09, 10:19

Which, for non-math people, is a lot more than $900B.

Responses:

that's a lot different than the $894 billion net cost figure that the CBO put out last week - znufrii Nov 3, 10:34 5
- I just saw it this morning. I know that the $894B is only the cost of the extension of coverage to the uninsured. - TFox Nov 3, 10:37 4
  - gotcha. seems like there's so many estimates out there now that opponents/proponents can just pick and choose whatever set of numbers best supports - znufrii Nov 3, 10:39 2
    - And I even agree with not including all the costs. Because, for example, repealing SGR is expensive, but that was an insane law. - TFox Nov 3, 10:41

- The Senate bill, IMO, has always been closer to what would eventually emerge, at every step along the way. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 10:24 1
  - That stands to reason. There had to be a compromise to get yellow dog Dems to support it there. - TWuG Nov 3, 10:29
no that is some serious coinage. -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 10:21
