INDEED: “But people, even liberals, are starting to get unnerved by the cost of all this. We now talk of trillions the way, even a few months ago, we spoke of billions. In mid-June, the Senate health committee put out its version of reform and was horrified when the Congressional Budget Office figured that it would cost a trillion dollars over 10 years (over current spending) and would still leave millions uninsured.”

This is particularly true because — despite all the “line-by-line” promises — the money seems to just be being shoveled out to political interest groups.
