Sam Stein's brilliant comment on the cost of health care.

[aaaaaa5a]

On the ED show today, the Huffington Post's Sam Stein said this..



"I was looking up old CBO scores. I found out that in 2007 there is a CBO report about the cost of the Iraq war. The estimated cost was 2.4 trillion over 10 years. That's health care reform done more than twice over. I didn't hear a single republican complain about cost containment then. We could have health care TWICE for that cost."

1. Saw it. Loved it. Should be shouted from the rooftops...

2. The sad truth is...

If we didn't have the Iraq war, or even the bailout(s), the Republicans would STILL be saying the SAME THING about us not being able to afford the healthcare bill.

3. I just don't understand, when did the CBO start to run the country? NT
