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
